Faulting:
Faulting happens when the Earth’s crust completely breaks and slides past each other. Rocks along a fault tend to move in opposite directions. As the overlying rock strata press them, the friction locks them together.
Folding:
Folding is a type of earth movement resulting from the horizontal compression of rock layers by internal forces of the earth along plate boundaries. A upfold are termed as anticlines. The downfolds are termed synclines.
