Fold moutains are actually formed by crust which have been uplifted and folded by compressional forces. This occurs along convergent plate boundaries where 2 plates move towards each other, between continental plates or between an oceanic and a continental plate. The crust and the rocks get bent and crumpled, and massive layers of Earth's crust gets uplifted as a result, forming spectacular fold mountains.
More well-know examples of fold mountains are the Himalayas in Asia and the Andes in South America.

How folding are form?
Folded mountains are created when plates are bent, squeezed and stretched.
What is the definition of folded mountains?
Folded mountains are large mountain ranges that form through the folding of rock layers due to tectonic plate movements. These mountains typically have long ridges and valleys, with the rock layers appearing bent and folded. Examples include the Himalayas and the Appalachians.

What kind of mountains are the tetons?
The Tetons are folded mountains.
What type of mountains are the Andes range?

How are fold mountains are formed?
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.COMPRESSION A+by ARELY
What is the primary way that the folded mountains are formed?
Folded mountains are formed when rock layers are bend under stress.
What does folded mountains form?
In some cases, the folded crust can be pushed up high enough to form mountains.
