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.

What are the types of mountains?
There are three main types of mountains. block mountains formed by sections of the earth's crust that have been tilted or lifted up by the movement of two close fault lines, large cracks in the earth's surface. These are usually smaller than other types of mountains and are often separated by valleys. Volcanic mountains are formed by magma that is pushed out of the earth through a crack or weak place in the earth's crust. Fold mountains are formed when rock is "squeezed" together. When plates collide, the rock along the edges crumples, creating a huge zig-zag pattern in layers of the earth's crust. Upwarped mountains are formed when magma pushes up the earth's crust without breaking the surface. This creates a rounded mountain that gently slopes toward the surrounding land.

What is folding method?
Some batters call for beaten egg whites to be added. Folding the whites in with a spatula keeps the air bubbles in them from breaking, which leads to a flat, heavy cake. Pour the whites into the batter, and using a spatula flat side up, gently distribute the whites from top to bottom of the bowl. Pour or spoon the batter gently into the pans to further avoid breaking the air bubbles.

How can you find and remove a needle that was left in a quilt?
Oh my ! Slowly ( and gently ) go over every inch of the quilt feeling for it, by folding the quilt over your fingers. You should be able to locate it eventually, then gently push the point through the fabric, grasp it and remove it. GOOD LUCK !

How faulting occurs?
Faulting occurs when there are two tectonic plates that meet at a divergent boundary. This means that they move away from each other. The general reason of why plates move is because of a gently rolling mantle. The rock in the mantle is just liquid to flow like taffy. This extremely slow movement, also slowly moves the tectonic plates. Once again, at divergent plate boundaries the plates move away from each other. Without a sudden movement of the plates (such as an earthquake) this process will only enlarge the fault cm a year.
What are the differences in the process of mixing versus folding?
Mixing involves combining different ingredients together with a beater, electric mixer, wire whip or even just a fork. The goal is to blend them completely together. If a recipe calls for something to be "folded"in, then you're trying to gently combine different ingredients. A recipe may tell you to beat cream or egg whites till fluffy and fold them in to the rest of the batter. Add the fluffy ingredients to the batter and then, with a rubber spatula, slide it to the bottom of the batter and "fold" the batter over the whipped ingredients. Turn the bowl and continue gently folding the batteruntil you have incorporated the lighter ingredient. By folding instead of mixing, you won't break down the delicate, whipped ingredient and the result will be a lighter, fluffier batter.
Can you add frozen berries to a regualr cake mix?
