Even if it be granted that the effective forces which cause the folding and dislocation of rocks are, in the last analysis, a horizontal or tangential compression, it still remains to inquire how this great force was generated. There is no general agreement concerning the solution of this problem.
Beyond plastic deformation, rocks fail structurally and faulting occurs. Folds may be isolated or may occur in extensive fold trains, and folding may range from the microscopic scale to mountain-sized folds in orogenic belts. Folds are classified according to size, fold shape, tightness, and dip of the axial plane. Folding can occur by flexural slip, buckling, or mass displacement under under varying conditions of stress, hydrostatic pressure, pore pressure, and temperature. Slumping of material before deformation causes synsedimentary folds. Folding orientation can produce: âª 1  anticlines. âª 2  synclines. âª 3  domes. âª 4  basins.
