Question

Scientists observe several strata that are tilted at an angle. What most likely caused the tilting?

A. The strata were deposited at an angle.

B. Fossils were deposited within each stratum.

C. The strata were moved after they were deposited.

D. The strata were deposited in a small area.

c) The strata moved after they were deposited

Explanation:

Strata can be defined as a layer or layers of sediments, sand e.t.c. that have been deposited at a particular area or land on the earth surface thereby leading to the formation of sedimentary rocks. Strata possesses distinct features that separates it from other layers in the rock.

Strata in rocks occur in an horizontal form or horizontally. If the strata or layers of the rocks look tilted it is because strata was moved after it was deposited.

the answer would be d

c should be the answer
