Question
as tectonic plates move toward one another, compression occurs, and rock layers may crumble and
other forces may later raise the entire mass of folded rock into. when folding occurs,
rock layers in rock are no longer horizontal. if they fold pointing like the top of a hill, an
results. when the folds point like in a valley, it is a. fold mountains are
long belts of highly and broken rocks that result from. the appalachian mountains are
an example of fold mountains.

When tectonic plates move towards each other, compression causes rock layers to fold. Folding can create different geological features. Sedimentary rock layers are often involved in folding. If the folds point up, it's an anticline; if they point down, it's a syncline. Fold mountains are formed from highly bent and broken rocks due to compression.
