The only way is for all the sedimentary layers to be laid down in rapid succession and then be folded while still soft and pliable.

Opposite is the case. The way to bend rock is constant pressure over very long periods of time. An analog familiar to any of us who bought low cost Walmart furniture in college is particle board. Think of the board as sedimentary rock. Lots of small particles glued together. Try to bend it fast and the glue breaks at the edges of the particles. Now use the particle board as a shelf and stack a bunch of heavy text books on it. At first it will not appear to deflect much at all. Let it sit there for a year and when you come back it will be bent into a bow shape. No cracks just bent. And when you take the weight off it stays bent.

Another example is glass. It flows very slowly, so slowly that it takes hundreds of years for the flow to be noticeable. The windows in the old cathedrals are one of the few places you can see it. Sedimentary rock is a Non-Newtonian fluid. Bend it fast and it acts like a solid. Bend it very very slowly and it acts like a liquid.

The other option is to heat it, but that would change its properties, for example turning it into granite. But that is visible in the rock and would not be part of the cases discussed.

I'm not arguing the religion/science part of this, I'm just talking about the properties of rock.

If one assumes the flood was in the area of Noah’s family (the hebrew transcripts can be translated either way) and one assumes he brought the animals used for food and farming not every animal (physically impossinble on that vessel), one would find the evidence you are searching for.

Naturally science and YHVH’s word coincide; he is the foundation of scientific laws.
