Question

Explain how the movement of plates leads to the formation of folds and faults​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In conclusion, the movement of the Earth's plates results in the folding and faulting of the Earth's surface due to processes such as compression, tension and shearing, and in doing so, deform and rearrange the Earth's crust.

Answer 2

The constitution of twists and bends in rocks are called folds and when the rocks from another side get displaced past one another resulting in a plane of detachment are called faults.

• When the opposite movement of tectonic plates from opposite directions acts towards each other, the bending of the rock layer takes place which further results in the formation of the folds.
• The Fault is formed when there is some movement in the tectonic plates resulting in single or multiple fractures in between two rocks.
