How do folded volcanic and fault block mountains differ?

Folded mountains form when tectonic plates push against each other, causing the Earth's crust to buckle and fold. Fault block mountains, on the other hand, result from the displacement of large blocks of crust along fault lines. Fault block mountains tend to have steep cliffs on one side and a more gently sloping side known as a "fault scarp."

How do folded mountains differ from fault block mountains?

Folded mountains are formed by the tectonic compression of crustal rocks, resulting in the bending and deformation of rock layers. Fault block mountains, on the other hand, are created by the movement of large blocks of crust along faults, causing uplift and the formation of mountain ranges with steep sides and flat tops.
