And how do these effect the environment of fold mountain ranges? Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. The impressive terrain formed by fold mountains offer opportunities for farming, forestry, mining, hydroelectric power and tourism. In the European Alps, forests have been cultivated for fuel, while in the Andes extraction of natural resources has created a large mining industry. Fold mountains' steep slopes and fast-flowing water provide the means to produce large amounts of hydroelectric power. Mountain terrain attracts tourists too, offering winter sports, hiking and climbing activities to visitors. A Twig Context Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum. Twig’s context films show abstract concepts in action in the real world.\n
