A fold is a bend in a rock layer. Some folds are a few centimeters wide and others cover several kilometers. Sometimes the rock folds enough to turn completely over, and these places are called overturn, or recumbent, folds. Some folding rock layers break from the forces within the crust of the earth and these places are called faults. Folds where the rocks have been pushed upward but not turned upside down are called anticlines and the depressions between the anticlines are called synclines.
In geography, a fault is the border between two continental plates. A fold is where sedimentary rock slumps before it becomes hardened.
In stuctural geology, an anticline is a fold that is convex up or to the youngest beds.
The earths crust is a part of the outermost layer.
Silicon is a mixture of the minerals of the earths crust. so.... silicon isn't something from the earths crust. -thanks for your question.

An anticline is a type of fold where the layers of rock bend downwards to form an inverted U shape. This fold represents an upward convex fold in rock layers and is characterized by older rocks in the center and younger rocks on the sides.

The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.

The abundance of neodymium in the earths crust is approx. 40 ppm.
No, not all metals are found in the Earth's crust. While the Earth's crust contains a wide variety of metals, some metals are very rare and are not commonly found in geological formations. Additionally, some metals are found in concentrations that are too low to be economically viable for extraction.
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
Fold mountains.
The earth's crust is not stress
