Which type of movements have led to the formation of the major fold mountains in the world? Answer in brief
Answers
The major fold mountain have led the formation of the movement which is plate oriented.
Two plates are set in the base of our earth.
When the formation of plates are in separation by their actual position it would be very problematic.
The density here matters a lot.
Continental lithosphere density is very low and the plates goes to the geographical fold.
Himalaya the highest mountain usually represents the same thing of the folding situation.
Explanation:
Energy is transferred
from the interior of the earth. Because of
these energy waves and pressure working
towards each other and in horizontal
direction, the layers of the soft rocks form
folds. If the pressure is very high, largescale folds are formed and their complexity
increases. As a result, the surface of the
earth gets uplifted and fold mountains are
formed
