Yes, protein folding is a spontaneous process that occurs naturally within cells.

Folding
Folding typically occurs in rock layers due to excessive heat and force. When rocks fold against each other they form interesting rock layers.
Compressive stress causes folding mountains to form. This stress occurs when tectonic plates collide or converge, leading to the deformation and folding of rock layers, ultimately creating mountain ranges.

At distructive plate boundaries, and yes the Hymmalayas is an example of a fold mountain as are the Alps
Rock folding occurs when tectonic forces cause the Earth's crust to bend and deform, usually in response to compression or collision of tectonic plates. This deformation can result in curved or wrinkled layers of rock, known as folds, forming within the Earth's crust.
The folding of crystal materials occurs when they are subjected to mechanical stress that exceeds their yield strength, causing the crystal lattice to deform. This process often involves the movement of dislocations within the crystal structure, leading to changes in the material's shape without breaking. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and the intrinsic properties of the material play significant roles in determining how and when folding occurs. Ultimately, this phenomenon is crucial in understanding the behavior of materials under various conditions, including geological processes and manufacturing.
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.
