Are the layers still horizontal, or are they folded? Did one set of layers slide over the rest? If you have been careful, you will have produced a fault in which layers of rock are pushed up and over other layers. These types of faults are often nearly horizontal. How could you use the same apparatus to find out what happens when sands and sandstones are stretched (put under tension)?
