The five types of mountains include:
1). Fold Mountains
2). Volcanic Mountains
3). Dome Mountains
4). Fault-block Mountains
5). Plateau Mountains.
Explanation:
- Fold mountains are described as the types of mountains that are formed through the colliding of two tectonic plates of the Earth together.
- Volcanic mountains are formed when the molten rock erupts from the deep earth and accumulates on itself.
- Dome Mountains are formed when the hot molten magma comes forward through the Earth's mantle into its crust which forces the sedimentary rocks lying over it to cause a 'dome' shape.
- Fault-block mountains are created due to the motion of huge crustal blocks when the pressures in the crust of the Earth tow it apart.
- Plateau mountains are formed due to the erosion of glaciers lying among the mountain ranges.
