The collison squeezes the two plates together and the solid rock on top of the plates fold like a rug when its ends are pushed toward each other. Faulting can cause mountains to form when one side i ...

History of geology
The history of geology is concerned with the development of the natural science of geology. Geology is the scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth. Throughout the ages geology provides essential theories and data that shape how society conceptualizes the Earth.
