Mountain Formation:
1. Faultblock Mountain- These form when parts of the
earth’s crust move upward and other parts move
downward.
2. Fold Mountain- These are formed when two tectonic
plates collide.
3. Dome-shaped Mountain- these are formed when
Magma pushes up on the surface of the earth.
4. Volcanic mountain- magma from inside the earth
pushes through, causing lava and ash to flow and
build as it cools and hardens.
