Faulting- One part of the earths crust may move along the line of fracture upwards or downwards relative to the other part.The line of fracture is called the fault.Faulting of the crust results in displacement of crustal rocks,there is a steep slope or scarp marking the fault line.
anubhavmukherjee:
Folds are created by internal forces of compression from one or both sides as a result the igneous and the metamorphic rocks are fractured while the sedimentary rocks tend to bend.

Answer:Folding --> The phenomenon where two tectonic plates of the earth converge is called folding. This causes a part of the earth to rise up. Faulting --> The tension and compression associated with the plate tectonics that causes rocks to break apart is called faulting.
