Summary[edit]

Description
Deutsch: Dieser geologische Aufschluss inmitten der Millionenstadt Amman zeigt die Auffaltung des Sedimentgesteins, wahrscheinlich, Kalkstein. Zwischen den einzelnen Schichten wurde Ton eingelagert, dies erlaubt eine visuelle Abgrenzung zwischen den einzelnen Schichten. Die deutlich sichtbare Auffaltung des Gesteins ist das Resultat starker tektonischer Kräfte in der Vergangenheit, die zur Faltung der ursprünglich planaren Schichten führte.
English: This geological structure in the city of Jordan is a sedimentary rock (most likely limestone), and the visible layering is due to the occasional inclusion of shale layers as the rock was deposited over millions of years. The remarkable folding of the stacked layers indicates the tectonic forces on this rock in this past, which warped the original planar layers into the shapes they now present.
