Geography
- Unit 1A
- Fold Mountains
- How humans use fold mountains...
- Forestry
- Fold mountains are really good
for growing certain types of trees
such as conifers. They are grown
on steep slopes and are used for
building, fires, paper, furniture
and fuel.

- Tourism
- Many tourists come here for winter skiing and
snowboarding as well as summer hikes and camping.
There are some tunnels in the fold mountains - carved
to make the straight and fast roads available. With
these communications, many more people are aware
of the beautiful scenery available here.

- Hydro-Electric Power
- Steeps sides and high rivers make fold mountains ideal for generating
electricity using massive dams with turbines that spin as the water pours
through.

- Mining
- Mining is great as the fold mountains produce
plenty of metal ores. Steep slopes are not very
easy to mine so roads are carved into the sides
of them to get around easily.

- Farming
- Higher mountain slopes are used to graze animals as they are terrible for growing
crops. Low slopes are used for growing crops and steep slopes are sometimes
terraced to make growing crops easier.

- Forestry
- Where are they found?
- Fold mountains are found at
destructive plate margins and places
where they used to be. You can also
get them where continental and
oceanic plates collide as well as
where two continental plates collide.

- How are they made?
- Fold mountains are created when tectonic plates
collide. The sedimentary rocks that have built up
between them are folded and forces upwards to form
mountains.
