Folding - when the earth=s crust is pushed up from its sides

 - occurs at a very slow rate

 - Fold mountains occur where the crust is pushed up as plates collide which causes the crust to rise up in folds.

Examples: Andes, Himalayas, Juras in Switzerland, Appalachians......

Faulting - when tension and compression associated with plate movement is so great that      blocks of rock fracture or break apart.

- process can occur very rapidly

- this rapid movement causes the ground to shake and vibrate, resulting in      earthquakes.
