It's what happens when two tectonic plates come together and push against each other.
Like what happens when you take two pieces of paper, push them together, and see them come up like mountains

How can mountains be formed by folding?
the mountains formed by folding cause of tectonic plates
What are the plates that make up Earth's crust?
Tectonic plates
I am part of lithosphere but you move around on top of the asthenosphere?
The answer is Tectonic Plates
How earthquakes have changed the surface and atmosphere of the earth over millions of years?
EARTHQUAKES have changes the earth in many ways. The folding and faulting of the earth crust have left big cracks in the earths crust. The folding and faulting only happen on the tectonic boundaries. TECTONIC BOUNDARIES: The plates that make up the earths contents.
Describe how faults and folds form in Earth's crust?
There are a few ways. The Tectonic plates can rub against each other causing friction, with folding, one of the plates bends down into the mantle of the arth causing the other plate to eventually snap back up (These are the Strongest Earthquakes). Then with faulting, the plates pull apart.
How can mountains be formed by folding?
the mountains formed by folding cause of tectonic plates
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
What are the plates that make up Earth's crust?
Tectonic plates
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called?
Tectonic plates
I am part of lithosphere but you move around on top of the asthenosphere?
The answer is Tectonic Plates
What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
What type of boundary causes folding?
landform created bye the convergence of two continental plates
What is the difference between a tectonic hazard and a tectonic event?
a tectonic hazard is a disaster caused by the moving of tectonic plates.....anda tectonic activity is the moving of tectonic plates........
What causes friction on tectonic plates?
the movement of tectonic plates
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What can tectonic plates also be called instead of tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
Can tectonic plates known as crustle plates?
Yes, tectonic plates are also known as crustal plates.
