\nThe incorrect statement is that Vindhyans are examples of fold mountains.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Vindhyan Range is primarily composed of horizontally bedded sedimentary rocks like sandstones, shales, and limestones, belonging to the Vindhyan System, a younger part of the Purana group. These mountains are considered block mountains or residual mountains formed due to faulting, uplift, and subsequent erosion, rather than folding.
\n<\/section>\n
