Types of mountains

1. Fold Mountains (Folded Mountains)-Fold mountains are formed when two plates move together (a compressional plate margin). The movement of the two plates forces sedimentary rocks upwards into a series of folds.
2. Fault-block Mountains (Block Mountains)-Fault-block Mountains are formed by the movement of large crustal blocks when forces in the Earth's crust pull it apart. Some parts of the Earth are pushed upward and others collapse down. ... The surface of the Earth can move along these faults, and displace rock layers on either side.
3. Dome Mountains- Dome Mountains are formed from hot molten material (magma) rising from the Earth's mantle into the crust that pushes overlying sedimentary rock layers upward to  from a “ dome” shape. Unlike a volcano, the magma typically does not reach the Earth's surface.
4. Volcanic Mountains- As the name suggests, Volcanic Mountains are formed by volcanoes.Volcanic Mountains are formed when molten rock (magma) deep within the earth, erupts, and piles upon the surface. Magna is called lava when it breaks through the earth's crust. When the ash and lava cools, it builds a cone of rock.
5. Plateau Mountains-Plateau Mountains are formed by Erosion. These are large areas of high levels of flat land, over 600 meters above sea level formed due to earth's internal activity. Over billions of years, the rivers can cut deep into a plateau and make tall mountains.
