The landforms formed when horizontal rock layers are squeezed together and buckle are called folded mountains. This means that this mountains are formed as a result of the compression of tectonic plates. The majority of the earth’s well-known mountain ranges are formed this way and are examples of fold mountains. Fold mountains have arcuate shape and the mountains’ length greatly exceeds the width.
