These mountains form from compression.?
folded
What is the primary way that folded mountains form?
Folded mountains are formed when rock layers are bend under stress.
What type of mountains form compression?

How folded mountain ranges form?
lithosphere plates collide forming the folded mountains!
How are folded mountains different from dome mountains?
folded mountains are folded
What did the world's folded mountains form as a result of?
continental crust
What happens at Continent-continent convergence?
Folded mountains form
The major forces that form folded mountains are?
Compressional Stresses
What happens at a continent-continent convergence?
Folded mountains form
How do folded volcanic and fault block mountains differ?
Volcanic mountains can erupt, folded mountains form when rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward, fault block mountains form when tension makes the lithosphere break into many normal faults
How are folded mountains produced?
Folded mountains form when two plates move towards each other by compressional forces. The movement results in sedimentary rocks moving upwards to form a series of folds.
What mountains are folded?
Fold mountains are formed from the collision of continental tectonic plates. Since neither plate subducts under the other, the colliding plates wrinkle and fold like a rug being pushed into a wall.
