These are called geologic maps or topographic maps.

That is because geologists need to find out the past and if they accidentally change something, it won't be the past anymore. And faults and folds are delecite so they need to be careful during observing them.
Folds are the when the rock layers bend. Faults are breaks in the rock layers. Folds are called anticlines and synclines. Faults are called reverse faults, normal faults, or strike-slip faults.
Faults and folds just support the idea that there lithospheric plates are in motion because folds appear when the plates move towards each other. The faults appear when the plates drift apart and cause an empty space.
Thrust faults and reverse faults are essentially the same, the only difference being the angle: thrust faults have a shallow angle of 45 degrees or less from horizontal. Reverse (thrust) faults and folds usually indicate rock being compressed. In many cases folds develop along reverse faults as one fault block is dragged along another, with an anticline forming in the hanging wall.

I don't know the three major types of folds only 2 they are anticline and syncline
It results in fractures, joints and faults, features that you will have the ... shapes of folds, but most can be classified into three basic types. ... see shortly, plunging folds do not share this characteristic.
