Mighty nature - folding

Mighty nature - folding - You have already seen how nature shapes rocks into various forms. Here you can see more - how rocks are folded. Folds are warps in rock layers caused by compressional forces, and are most apparent in sedimentary rock with sedimentary beddings. When pressure stronger than the limit the rock layers can withstand is applied, rocks will be cracked and displaced. Do you know the name of this geological process?

This is the end of the Ma Shi Chau Nature Trail. If you are very interested in geological study, you can also visit other country parks and special areas such as Ping Chau, Sai Kung and Clearwater Bay, to appreciate more interesting geological phenomena
