Fold mountains form due to powerful compressional forces bending and crumpling rocks underground. These forces cause the formation of anticlines, where rocks fold upwards, and synclines, where rocks fold downwards. Many young fold mountains are found along plate boundaries where compressional forces from colliding plates cause massive folding of rocks. Examples of fold mountains formed this way include the Himalayas, the Rockies, and the Andes. Folding occurs in stages from symmetrical to asymmetrical folds and eventually to overfolds and overthrusts as the compressional forces increase.
Exploring the Dynamic Earth- Mountain top to ocean trenchVishakhaNathani
This presentation includes Introduction to interior of the Earth, Continental drift theory, Plate tectonics, Convergent plate boundaries, Formation of Andes, Formation of Himalayas and Mariana Trench.
*The interior structure of the Earth is layered in spherical shells:
An outer silicate solid crust, a highly viscous mantle, a liquid outer core that is much less viscous than the mantle, and a solid inner core.
LITHOSPHERE
PLATE MOVEMENTS
CONTINENTAL DRIFT
*250 million years ago the seven continents were altogether and called as “supercontinent”. Later on they drifted apart very slowly and the scenerio before 200 Ma is shown then 65Ma and the present condition of the continent.
*We can not see deep interior of the earth.
To understand the dynamism of Earth let us first understand mantle convection.
Convection is the process by which less dense material rises and more dense material sinks. Less dense material are more buoyant than more dense.
This fundamental planetary process has profoundly influenced the character and evolution of Earth.
How is it important for the mountain building?
*It is important to know about the formation of two classical mountain ranges
The highest and the largest, Himalayas and the Andes.
Both the mountains are formed by the collision of two different tectonic plates
*Tectonic plates movements leads to the formation of Mighty Himalayas, Largest mountain ranges of earth the Andes, with 200 volcanoes and the deepest ocean trench “Mariana”.

Diastrophism is the process of deformation of the Earth's crust which involves folding and faulting. Diastrophism can be considered part of geotectonics.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.
