Correct Answer: Folded Structure


Solution : The correct answer is Folded Structure.

Nappe is a folded structure formed by the folding or faulting of rocks. When a rock moves by 2 km or more by folding over another rock, it forms a landform known as nappe. It is formed by the interaction of tectonic plates in which the rock material of one plate overlaps rocks over another plate having low inclination. Western Apls and Limestone Alps are some examples of Nappe landforms.
