A fold is a bend or wrinkle in rock layers that occurs when Earth's forces push and squeeze rock strata out of their original flat position. Folds matter because they help geologists understand how mountains form, locate valuable resources like oil and minerals, and interpret the powerful forces that have shaped Earth's crust over time.
