Answer:
There are five basic kinds of mountains are:
- Fold Mountains (Folded Mountains): Fold mountains are created where two or more of Earth's tectonic plates are pushed together.
- Fault-block Mountains (Block Mountains): Block Mountains are formed when two tectonic plates move away from each other causing cracks on the surface of the Earth.
- 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 form a “dome” shape.
- Volcanic Mountains: Movements of tectonic plates create volcanoes along the plate boundaries, which erupt and form mountains. A volcanic arc system is a series of volcanoes that form near a subduction zone where the crust of a sinking oceanic plate melts. A hotspot volcano is center.
