Question

The process of the earth's crust folding is known as:

• A. Tectonic activity
• B. Folding
• C. Subduction
• D. Volcanism

Hint:

Folding results from compressive forces during plate collisions. Subduction is a different process involving plate movement beneath another.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Folding is the process by which the Earth's crust is compressed and bent due to tectonic forces.
This occurs when two tectonic plates collide and push against each other, causing the crust to fold into various shapes like anticlines and synclines.
Folding can create mountain ranges and other geological features. A well-known example is the Himalayan mountain range, formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
Subduction refers to the process where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, and volcanism involves the eruption of magma from below the Earth's surface.
