Folded Mountains

Folded Mountains-formed when 2 plates collide, edges crumble and an accrodian shape takes form. There are many synclines and anticlines.

Zagros Mountains-formed near convergent plate boundary, result of compression (shortening/thickening of crust)














Flat Irons-formed far from any plate boundaries, result of compression (shortening/thickening of crust)
