Geological Structures and Rock Classifications
Folds: Bending of Rock Layers
Folds are wave-like undulations in rock strata. They are most common in sedimentary rocks.
Origin and Mechanism of Folds
Folds originate primarily due to Compressional Stress. When rocks are pushed together, they shorten and thicken.
Ductile Deformation: Folds form deep within the crust where high temperature and pressure allow rocks to bend without breaking.
Tectonic Forces: Major fold belts (like the Himalayas) originate from the collision of tectonic plates.
