Question

Can mountains become volcanoes?​

Answer 1

${\huge {\underline {\purple {\mathbb{ANSWER}}}}}$

Basically, tectonic plates push together and push upwards, and the elements erode away until a mountain-ish shape is formed.Magma under the crust gradually pushes up, so some mountains turn into volcanoes because the magma surfaces, and on the surface the magma is called lava.Jul 31, 2013

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Volcanoes are mountains but they are very different from other mountains; they are not formed by folding and crumpling or by uplift and erosion.

2. Instead, volcanoes are built by the accumulation of their own eruptive products -- lava, bombs (crusted over ash flows, and tephra (airborne ash and dust).

3. Some mountain ranges that exist once were volcanoes actually, the Appalachian mountain range was once volcanic in nature being conjoined with the Alps, which the Alps are still growing still and are still volcanic.

4. There were a plethora of stratovolcanoes and cinder cones as well. Depending on what area you look on the web, there has been suspicion that a couple, old and very ancient supervolcanoes may have existed on the east coast.
