Folding pattern by the sea and Jupiter

Fluorescent limestone in red, calcite, in a folding pattern by the sea. Folding patterns in rocks are primarily created through plate tectonics, where the Earth's crust plates collide and compress the bedrock over millions of years. This process, called folding, occurs when rocks are subjected to enormous pressure and temperature conditions, causing them to bend and fold instead of cracking. 

In the sky, the planet Jupiter is seen next to the bright stars Castor and Pollux.
