Endogenic and Exogenic Processes

How will you differentiate folding from faulting?

• Folding is the degradation of the Earth's surface while faulting is when two forces push towards each other from the opposite sides.

• Folding is when there is a fracture and displacement of a more brittle rock strata while faulting is when two forces push towards each other.
