The folded mountain is rare in my experience. Most mountains appear to be sections of crust that toppled over. Much like a stack of dominos that were spread out and toppled over. They are very organized in places. In parallel rows of toppled crust. One side of the mountain is the top soil side or the top of the original uundisturbed crust and then the other side of the mountain is a crossection of time and exposes all the layers of the crust. The saw tooth pattern repeats alternating between the top of the crust and the edge of the crust. This could only occur if the sections were broken apart and then the crust spread some and the sections fell over. There are other types of mountains but this type is difficult to explain by any sequence except crustal spreading. Kamron
