Types of Mountains

Mountains form due to movements in Earth's crust, resulting in five types: fold, fault block, dome, volcanic, and plateau. Fold mountains arise from plate collisions, forming ranges like the Himalayas. Fault block mountains result from plate movements creating cracks, exemplified by the Sierra Nevada. Dome mountains form from magma pushing up rock layers, seen in the Adirondacks. Volcanic mountains form from magma eruptions, as in Hawaii. Plateau mountains form through erosion, like the Catskills. These processes shape Earth's landscape.
