Answer 2

Answer:

When plates and the continents riding on them collide, the accumulated layers of rock may crumple and fold like a tablecloth that is pushed across a table, particularly if there is a mechanically weak basal layer such as salt.

Block mountains are created when large areas or blocks of earth are broken and displaced vertically. ... A volcanic mountain starts out as a simple crack in the Earth called a volcanic vent. Magma erupts out of the ground as lava flows, clouds of ash, and explosions of rock.

Block mountains are formed due to faulting which is caused when the horizontal movements within the earth's crust move away from each other. Fold mountains are formed due to folding which occurs when the horizontal movements within the earth's crust move towards each other.
