Folds, in a general sense, refer to the act of bending or creasing something, or the state of being bent or creased. This concept appears in numerous fields, from everyday actions to complex scientific principles. In origami, the art of paper folding, specific folds are fundamental techniques used to transform a flat sheet of paper into a three-dimensional object. These folds can be simple, like valley or mountain folds, or more intricate, requiring precise manipulation.
In geology, folds describe the bending of rock strata due to compressive forces within the Earth's crust.
