Question

Large scale folding of the crust result in the formation of fold mountains.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The crust of the earth is made up of different strata of rocks. As a result of movement inside the earth, these rock strata at times are forced up and down and thus fold mountain are created. So fold mountain are the result of large-scale earth movement caused by stresses in the earth's crust.

Fold Mountains Fold mountains are formed when sedimentary rock strata in geosynclines are subjected to compressive forces. They are the loftiest mountains, and they are generally concentrated along continental margins. Geosyncline: a large-scale depression in the earth’s crust containing very thick deposits.
