Folding and faulting are two examples of slow changes by which plate tectonics can shape Earth’s surface. Which of the following describes a difference between these two processes? A Folding is caused by circular movement of the plates around each other, while faulting causes pressure and heat to be reduced.
B Folding begins with the fracturing of the rock, while faulting takes place when high heat and pressure are exerted horizontally.
C Folding takes place when pressure and heat bend rock horizontally or vertically, while faulting begins with fracturing of the rock.
D Folding is caused by forces of the plates found close to the surface of Earth, while faulting occurs through continental collisions deep within Earth.
