What does compression do to rock layers?
fold mountains form
What two types of mountains form by volcanic activity?
Volcanic activity can form fold mountains or block mountains. Fold mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide. Block mountains are formed when fault block shifts.
How do fold mountain form?
Fold mountain or mountain chains are formed by the collisions between continental plates.

Are the mountains in northern Ethiopia's fold mountains?
the mountains in northern Ethiopia's fold mountains
How is a mountain form?
By the means of plate tectonics at a zone of collision fold mountains are formed. At a zone of collision two continental plates collide and since they are of equal densities no subduction will take place but the two will collide and crumble and fold to form fold mountains.
Large anticlines form what kind of mountains?
The large anticlines form the fold mountain and the dome mountains. This is usually as a result of jointing, folding and faulting.
A range of fold mountains in munster?
The MacGillycuddy's Reeks in County Kerry are a prominent range of fold mountains in Munster. These mountains include Ireland's highest peak, Carrauntoohil. The mountains were formed by the collision of tectonic plates, leading to the folding and uplifting of rock layers.
What are the differences between young fold mountains and old fold mountains?
young fold mountains are like Himalayas, the Alps and man other.
What are the names of the fold mountains which are found in the Caribbean?
The main fold mountains found in the Caribbean region are the Greater Antilles, which include mountains like the Sierra Maestra in Cuba, the Blue Mountains in Jamaica, and the Cordillera Central in the Dominican Republic.
