Faulting occurs when tensional forces act in opposite directions and cause one slab of the rock to be displaced up and the other slab down.
What pushes up the Earth's crust without folding or faulting and also forms mountains?
magma and rocks push the earthes crust up it forms a fold mountain
How can folding and faulting form mountains?
Folding and Faulting usually work together to form mountains. Faulting works by one plate shifting up and one plate submerging. Folding however works by both plates pushing against each other slowly folding over and over. Faulting and Folding and work together to make mountains by as one plate moves down the other up causes the plate going up to roll over or move on top of the other plate then as the bottom plate gets heat from the earths core it rises folding the plate on top again to bring it even higher.

What are thrust fault mountains?
Rock that is too brittle to fold under heat and pressure, will break, calledthrust faulting. When older rock ends up on top of younger rock as a result of thrust faulting, the result is the formation of fault block mountains.
When plate movement causes rocks to break it's called .?
At the region between the two plates, called a transform boundary, pent-up energy builds in the rock. A fault line, a break in the Earth's crust where blocks of crust are moving in different directions, will form. Most, though not all, earthquakes happen along transform boundary fault lines.
