Difference between Andes and Fold (geology)

Andes vs. Fold (geology)

The Andes or Andean Mountains (Cordillera de los Andes) are the longest continental mountain range in the world. A geological fold occurs when one or a stack of originally flat and planar surfaces, such as sedimentary strata, are bent or curved as a result of permanent deformation.

Similarities between Andes and Fold (geology)

Andes and Fold (geology) have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Fault (geology), Metamorphic rock, Orogeny, Sedimentary rock, Thrust fault, Triassic.

Fault (geology)

In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movement.

Metamorphic rock

Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form".

Orogeny

An orogeny is an event that leads to a large structural deformation of the Earth's lithosphere (crust and uppermost mantle) due to the interaction between plate tectonics.

Sedimentary rock

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of that material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.

Thrust fault

A thrust fault is a break in the Earth's crust, across which older rocks are pushed above younger rocks.
