faulting is when a rock breaks under pressure, folding is when a rock gets a different shape under pressure.

Faulting occurs where strain rates are large and there are relatively low temperatures and confining pressures at shallower depths within the earth's lithosphere. These conditions allow fractures to propagate through the rock causing faulting.
Folding tends to occur at small strain rates (the speed at which the material changes shape or is squashed is very small), at higher confining pressures and with higher temperatures at greater depths in the Earth (typically the asthenosphere and mesosphere). All of these factors act to stop the formation of fractures within the material leading to ductile deformation which is why the rocks can fold rather than break.

What is the breaking tilting and folding of a rock called?
a fault
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.
What are four examples of rock disturbances?
the four types of rock disturbances are fault, folding, intrusion, and tilting
Fault block mountains are primarly the result of faulting and?
Fault block mountains are often created through rifting, which is an indication of tensional tectonic forces. Fault block mountains are primarily the result of faulting and folding.
What are the meanings of terms differ folding and fault?
Differ means be unlike or dissimilar or disagree. In chemistry, folding is the process by which a molecule assumes its shape or conformation. In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant displacement along the fractures as a result of earth movemen

What type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer has been folded?
Probably reverse fault because folding is the result of compressional stres and reverse faults are caused by compression
Which type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer have been folded?
Folding is usually the result of compressional stress. This may also cause thrust / reverse faults.

Why folding and faulting is one of the main causes behind earthquakes?
earthquakes often occur near fold mountains because fold mountains are formed on the earth's fault lines ( invisble lines in the earth's crust) and earthquakes happen when two fault lines crash together.
Explanation of folding and faulting of diastrophism?
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?
What is the word for folding arms?
folding you arms!
When two plates collide causing crust to deform but not break it is called .?
folding
