In Einstein's theory of gravitation, which is also referred to as General Relativity, space-time is warped (i.e., curved) by the presence of mass. It is not meaningful to speak of folding time alone, but rather one speaks of bending space-time. To make a significant bend in space-time, a very massive object (such as a star) or a very dense object (such as a black hole) is required. In 1915, Einstein succeeded in writing down an equation that describes how much space-time is curved in the presence of mass. That equation is a critical part of his General Theory of Relativity. It is not a simple equation to understand, since it requires first some understanding of tensors and Riemannian geometry. You will have to study math and physics for several years in order to understand it.

How folded mountain ranges form?

Folded mountain ranges form when tectonic plates collide and the intense pressure causes the earth's crust to buckle and fold. This process is called orogeny, and the folded layers of rock are uplifted to create mountain ranges like the Alps or the Himalayas. Over time, erosion shapes and exposes these folded layers, creating the distinctive peaks and valleys of folded mountains.

What causes folded mountains to form?

Folded mountains form when tectonic plate movement causes compression and folding of the Earth's crust. This compression leads to the bending and buckling of rock layers, creating the distinctive folded structures seen in mountain ranges like the Himalayas. Over time, erosion may expose these folded layers, revealing the mountain's geological history.

Folded mountains start from flat-lying sedimentary rock?

Folded mountains form when tectonic plates collide, causing the sedimentary rock layers to buckle and fold under pressure. Over time, erosion can expose these folded layers, creating dramatic mountain landscapes.
