Here's a breakdown:
* Sideways Pressure: This pressure, also called compression, comes from the movement of tectonic plates. When two plates collide, the immense force pushes the rock layers upwards and folds them like a rug.
* Folding: The rock layers buckle and bend into wave-like structures. This is why folded mountains often have a characteristic ridged and valley landscape.
Examples of folded mountains include:
* The Himalayas
* The Alps
* The Andes Mountains
* The Appalachian Mountains
