Formation of Mountains

What is a volcanic mountain?

• A volcanic mountain is formed by the erosion of sedimentary rocks.

• A volcanic mountain is formed by the movement of tectonic plates.

• A volcanic mountain is formed by the deposition of glacial ice.

• A volcanic mountain is formed by the accumulation of volcanic materials.

Name one famous volcanic mountain.

How are volcanic mountains formed?

• Volcanic mountains are formed through volcanic eruptions.

• Volcanic mountains are formed by the erosion of existing mountains.

• Volcanic mountains are formed by the accumulation of sedimentary rocks.

• Volcanic mountains are formed through tectonic plate movements.

What are the main types of mountains?

• plateau mountains, block mountains, and erosion mountains

• tectonic mountains, rift mountains, and uplift mountains

• sedimentary mountains, igneous mountains, and metamorphic mountains

• fold mountains, fault-block mountains, dome mountains, and volcanic mountains

How are fold mountains formed?

• Two tectonic plates collide and the crust is compressed and folded

• Fold mountains are formed by erosion and weathering

• Fold mountains are formed by volcanic activity

• Fold mountains are formed by the movement of glaciers

What are some examples of fold mountains?

• Great Dividing Range, Pyrenees, Carpathian Mountains

• Himalayas, Alps, Andes, Rockies

• Kilimanjaro, Mount Everest, Mount Fuji

• Appalachian Mountains, Ural Mountains, Sierra Nevada

What are the three main processes involved in the formation of mountains?

• erosion, deposition, and weathering

• tectonic plate movement, erosion, and deposition

• volcanic activity, weathering, and erosion

• folding, faulting, and volcanic activity

What is the difference between a volcano and a mountain?

• A volcano is made of lava, while a mountain is made of rocks.

• A volcano is taller than a mountain.

• A volcano is formed by volcanic activity, while a mountain can be formed by various geological processes.

• A volcano is always located near the ocean, while a mountain can be found anywhere.
