'The Himalayas in 30 seconds! Making a miniature fold mountain range in an empty box'.

 

This activity models how lateral pressure can squeeze rocks into folds and faults, and imitates the way in which fold mountain ranges are formed. You can watch a video of this Earthlearningidea.

Many more activities about fold mountains and deformation of rocks can be found in our Resources.
