Question
read the text. earths crust is made up of layers of rock, with the oldest layers toward the bottom and youngest toward the top. when tectonic plates collide, they can push the rock together, compressing it. if the rock bends, it can form folds that look like a series of waves. anticline folds look like arches. in an anticline fold, the oldest layer of rock is on the outside of the fold. syncline folds look like bowls. in syncline folds, the oldest layer of rock is on the inside of the fold. one type of fold, however, does not look like a wave: the monocline. in a monocline fold, two level pieces of land, one higher than the other, are connected by a slope. a monocline fold looks more like a step than an arch or a bowl. which term matches the picture?
The picture shows rock formations that resemble arches. Anticline folds look like arches and the description of the rock layers' orientation and shape in the text matches the structure in the picture.
