Fold mountains are formed due to which of the following plate movement?

a) Convergent plate boundaries
b) Divergent plate boundaries
c) Conservative plate boundaries
d) None of the above

Ans- a

Explanation-  Fold mountains are formed due to convergent plate boundary movement. They are often associated with continental crust. Where plates converge it is called as continental collision zones or compression zones. They are sites of collisions, where tectonic plates crash into each other.

They form from sedimentary rocks that accumulate along the margins of continents. When plates and the continents riding on them collide, the accumulated layers of rock may crumple and fold like a tablecloth that is pushed across a table, particularly if there is a mechanically weak layer
