Fold Model (Demo Model)
Stratigraphic Layer Differentiation facilitates the identification of chronological sequences and sediment displacement, supporting the Geology Module 202 requirements for stratigraphic interpretation.
Cross-Sectional Relief Profile: Enables students to analyze internal structural stress points (Anticline vs. Syncline geometry), advancing the "Evaluate" stage of tectonic study within geomorphology labs.

Quick answer: The Fold Model (Demo Model) is a hands-on teaching aid that demonstrates how rock layers bend into folds under compressional tectonic stress, helping students visualize a process that is otherwise only described in diagrams.
Folding is one of the fundamental ways the earth’s crust responds to tectonic forces, producing features such as anticlines and synclines in layered rock. A physical fold demonstration model lets students see and often manipulate a simplified layered structure to observe how compression creates these bends, making an abstract structural-geology concept concrete. It is typically used in physical geography, geology and earth-science classes alongside other structural and tectonic teaching aids.

Care & Handling
- Keep away from direct sunlight and damp conditions to preserve model materials and labelling.

- Wipe down with a soft, dry cloth; avoid solvents on printed or layered surfaces.
Why Choose LabEquip
LabEquip’s structural-geology range covers the main ways the earth’s crust deforms, not just a single isolated demonstration. Related aids include our Fault Model (Diastrophism) for fracture-based deformation, our Fault Folding Demo for a combined fault-and-fold view, and our Plate Tectonics model for the driving forces behind both. Browse the full range in our Educational Science Models category.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a fold model demonstrate?
It shows how layered rock bends into folds such as anticlines and synclines when subjected to compressional tectonic stress.
How is this different from a fault model?
A fold model shows rock bending without breaking, while a fault model demonstrates rock layers fracturing and displacing along a break.
What does the product include?
Exact contents and whether parts are movable are not specified for this listing – confirm the details with our sales team.
What grade level is this suitable for?
Suitability by grade level is not specified for this listing – please confirm with our sales team based on your curriculum.
How should this be cared for?
Keep it away from sunlight and moisture, operate any parts gently, and store it where it won’t be crushed.
Does this pair well with other geology aids?
Yes – it complements fault models, plate tectonics and other structural-geology aids used in an earth-science classroom.
