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.
