Due to the amount of hydroneruim oxide, monty expands at a higher CVS than fault. Rather than Mojave panaminting the fold it basins it. Got that?

Faulting is to gently contoured mountains as folding is to what?
Folding and faulting in mountains occurs because of the movement of lithospheric plates as described in the theory of plate tectonics. Continent to continent collision compresses the crust and its sedimentary cover rocks, displacing and distorting them upwards (folding) and fracturing them (faulting). Folding and faulting can also occur in oceanic crust-continental crust collisions, in areas above subduction zones.
Folding and faulting are caused by?
Mountains
What combinations should favor folding rather than faulting?
High temperature and high confining pressure
Faulting and folding are both types of what-?
Crustal deformation. That is, when pieces of the Earth's crust change shape due to tectonic forces.
Why would newer rock layers ever be below older rock layers?
Due to faulting or folding.
Movements in the crust that cause the faulting or folding or rocks is called?
Diastrophism.
What is diastrophism?
Diastrophism is the general term for faulting and folding within the crust, the deformation and movement of the solid rocks of the Earth.
What is distrophism?
Do you mean 'diastrophism'. If so, it refers to the deformation of the Earth's crust, especially folding and faulting
What are the effects of diastrophism?
The effects of diastrophism are so many on the surface of the earth and include formation of mountains, plateaus and may cause tremors and earthquakes.
What causes faulting?
diastrophism
What is faulting folding and tilting?
its the differences between tilting an folding
