Folded mountains are created when plates move. Folded mountains occur at convergent boundaries where land is being pushed together. The pressure of the plate motion causes the land above to fold. This folding can happen in a number of different patterns. These folding patterns appear as domes, waves, or twists and turns. Occasionally, this happens at a divergent boundary where part of the adjacent land moves, causing the surface layers to buckle or fold. Folded mountains often have gentile slopes and a dome appearance.
