What geologic event causes folding and faulting of layers?

Tectonic plate movement is the main geologic event that causes folding and faulting of layers in the Earth's crust. When plates collide or slide past each other, immense pressure and stress are exerted on the rocks, leading to folding or breaking along faults. These processes shape the Earth's surface and contribute to the formation of mountain ranges and other landforms.
