FOLDS IN ROCKS AND ITS TYPES

<p>We often think of rock as hard, brittle material. Throw a rock hard enough on the ground, and it will likely break into pieces. But under the right conditions, rock can actually &lsquo;flow&rsquo; in a way that keeps it from breaking. When rock deforms in such a way that it bends instead of breaking, we call this a&nbsp;<strong>fold</strong>. Folds come from pressure on rocks that occur over very long periods of time (think millions of years), so instead of a quick action like throwing the rock on the ground, it&rsquo;s more like standing on it for millions of years until the pressure is finally enough that it changes shape.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@rohitgurjar009/folds-in-rocks-and-its-types-9f38a5a53def"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
