About Yakima Fold Belt
The Yakima Fold Belt of south-central Washington, also called the Yakima fold-and-thrust belt, is an area of topographical folds raised by tectonic compression. It is a 14,000 km² structural-tectonic sub province of the western Columbia Plateau Province resulting from complex and poorly understood regional tectonics.
