Orogenic or the mountain-forming movements act tangentially to the earth surface, as in Plate tectonics. Tensions produces fissures (since this type of force acts away from a point in two directions) and compression produces folds (because this type of force acts towards a point from two or more directions). In the Landforms so produced, … Read more
