a fold is two things first it's a physical movement of folding something and the other is the bending in earth's layer. hope that was succint enough. thanks for reading

When two bump into each other, they may form a mountain range as the side of the impact rises up. This happened when India moved north and bumped into the rest of Asia, forming the Himalayas!
Try placing your hands on a towel and moving them towards each other, you'll get folds too, because of the same mechanism. ^^

How many elements form on the earths crust?
i have no clue
Does basalt form most of the earths crust?
yes
Folds in earths crust form mostly?
Well, mountains are formed mostly with folding and sometimes with volcanic eruptions. MOUNT EVERST was formed by the folding of the ocean. Folding is when the earth's crustal plates start to push together to form a mountain.
When magma hardens inside earths crust it can form vertical?
sills
What can form deep insides Earth's crust by crystallisation of melted meterials?
what can form deep insides earths crust by crystallisation of melted materials
How do mountains form at plates boundaries?
mountains are made when the crust folds, tilts ,and lifts as a result of this meeting of plates.
