Question

What is folding and faulting?
Pl describe breifly​

Answer 1

Folding

(i) Folding is caused due to horizontal movements.

(ii) Forces move towards a common centre.

(iii) Due to compression, different types of folds are formed.

(iv) It leads to the formation of anticlines and synclines.

(v) They are generally common in sedimentary rocks, e.g., the Himalayas and the Alps.

Faulting

(i) it is caused generally due to vertical movements.

(ii) Forces move away from the common centre.

(iii) Due to tension, faults occur along which displacement of rocks take place.

(iv) It leads to the formation of Block Mountains and Rift valleys, due to upliftment and subsidence of land.

(v) They are generally common in Igneous or Metamorphic rocks, e.g., Vosges and Black forest are Block Mountains and the river Rhine flows through the rift valley. In India, river Narmada and Tapi flow through

Here's your Answer -:

Folding. and faulting are two processes of Mountain building ..

In ➡➡⤵

Folding -: It occurs due to compression force produced in tectonic plates under earth .
In this process tectonic plates come in contact with each other and Rise upward to form Fold mountain
Eg:- HIMALAYAS,Alps formation

Faulting -: It occurs due to tension force in tectonic where these plates move away from each other and produce cracks or faults in surface forming Block mountain
