Folds are a result of plate collisions. Collision boundaries are, and have been for hundred of millions of years, worldwide and spread among all of the major crustal plates. No two plates specifically have been responsible for the major folds in existence today.
There are around 15-20 minor tectonic plates on Earth, in addition to the major plates that comprise the Earth's lithosphere. These minor plates are smaller in size compared to the major plates and play a role in the movement and dynamics of tectonic activity.

The Earth's crust is divided into several large tectonic plates, with around 7 major plates and several smaller ones. These plates float on the semi-fluid upper mantle and interact at their boundaries, where most of the Earth's seismic activity occurs.
The lithosphere is the mechanical layer on Earth that contains the seven major plates. It consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle and is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
Earth's crust is divided into a series of large and small plates, known as tectonic plates. There are about 7 major plates (e.g., the Pacific Plate, North American Plate) and several minor plates that make up the Earth's crust.
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.

There are around 15 minor tectonic plates in the Earth's crust, in addition to the major plates. These minor plates contribute to the overall movement and interaction of Earth's tectonic plates.
