Define folds and draw neat sketch of a fold and label its different parts. 

1 Answer

Answer :

Fold: Folds may be defined as undulations or bends that are developed in the rock of the Earth’s crust, as a result of stresses (commonly lateral compression) To which these rocks have been subjected to, from time to time in the past history of the Earth.
