The Formation of Mountains and Their Geological Processes

This video explores how mountains form, focusing on geological processes like plate tectonics. It covers different types of mountains: fold mountains formed by tectonic plate collisions, volcanic mountains created by magma eruptions, and block mountains resulting from tectonic activity. Examples include the Himalayas, Mount Fuji, and the Sierra Nevada. The video concludes with a summary of these processes.
