ANSWER:

• Folds in rocks form when the rock bends. Meanwhile, faults form when the rock breaks.

• Various factors such as temperature, strain, confining pressure, and composition of the rock play a part in bending or breaking of the rocks.

EXPLANATION:

• Folds and faults are two recognizable geological structures which are created due to the deformation of the rocks due to various factors.

• These structures in rocks arise due to the pressure and stress in the tectonic plates and the rocks.
