Compare folding and faulting. What type of factors affect whether rocks fold or fault?

Explanation:

The difference between folding and faulting is that;

Folding is the pressure of converging plates causing the crust to fold and buckle, resulting in the creation of mountains and hills.

Faulting is where cracks in the earth's rock are created because of different movement of tectonic plates.

The size and alignment of the belts, their age, the thickness and the density of the rocks and rock layers that form them, the patterns in the folding and faulting, are the factors that affect whether the rocks are fold or fault .
