Question

what type of force was responsible for creating the folds and faults in the apalation mts.

Answer 1

I'm not sure how you got a question on geology into the boats/boating category?  You might try being a bit more selective when you ask things to get any chance of some good answers.

However, you are talking about Plate Tectonics, continental drift in the popular parlance.

Try this reference:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_techt...

And its the Appalachian Mountains I believe you are referring to.  Spelling things correctly might also get you more answers.  But see this for specific information on that region:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appalachian...

And for the specific geology:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_...

Good luck.

Answer 2

You are in the boating section. Us boaters dont know stuff about the plates, shelves, pangea divisions, mountain building and stuff.  Open a Bible...your answer...its right in the beginning.
