What caused breakup of Pangaea?

What are folded rocks?
When sedimentary rocks are first laid down their layers (bedding) are tangential to the earths surface (essentially they look flat). They remain like this unless two of the earths continental plates on which the flat bedded rocks are deposited crash together. When they crash together, the layers are squashed horizontally and become deformed as a result. Frequently this deformation causes the layers to fold (like scrunching paper) to accommodate and the result is folded rocks.
