How are fold mountains formed?

answered-by-expert Expert Answer

When two tectonic plates move against each other, the compression forces cause the crust of the earth to fold. This leads to the bending of the crustal rocks resulting in the formation of fold mountains. Fold mountains are formed in a zone where the crust of the Earth is the weakest.
