Mountains

1. Fold Mountains:  - Definition: Fold mountains are extensive mountain ranges formed through tectonic processes involving the folding, faulting, and uplift of rock layers.  - Formation: These mountains emerge when tectonic plates collide, leading to intense pressure that causes the Earth's crust to fold and uplift over millions of years.   - Examples: Prominent examples of fold mountains include the Himalayas in Asia, the Andes in South America, the Alps in Europe, and the Rockies in North America.   2. Folded Structures:  - Definition: Folded structures pertain to the arrangement of rock layers that have undergone bending, deformation, or folding due to tectonic forces.  - Formation: These structures form as a consequence of compressional stress within the Earth's crust, resulting in the bending or folding of rock layers into various shapes such as anticlines, synclines, and monoclines.  - Examples: Folded structures are not exclusive to m...
