How are fold mountains formed?
These mountains form when faults or cracks in the earth's crust force some materials or blocks of rock up and others down. Instead of the earth folding over, the earth's crust fractures (pulls apart). It breaks up into blocks or chunks.
Formed when molten rock (magma) deep within the earth, erupts, and piles upon the surface. Magma is called lava when it breaks through the earth's crust. When the ash and lava cools, it builds a cone of rock.
When two or more of Earth's tectonic plates are pushed together. At these colliding, compressing boundaries.
