Answer:
- A mountain is a landform that sharply protrudes above its surroundings and is characterized by steep slopes, a condensed peak area, and substantial local relief.
- Hills and mountains are frequently compared in size. Based on their height, time of creation, and mode of origin, mountains are divided into various categories.
Explanation:
The following categories are used to categorize mountain formations:
- Volcanic Mountains
- Fold Mountains
- Remaining Mountains
- Dome Ranges
1. Volcanic Mountains:
- Mountains are generated when volcanoes erupt and tectonic plates shift, creating volcanoes. Due to the low viscosity of the ejected material, mainly basalt, a shield volcano has a gently sloping cone. With a slope of 4°–6°, Mauna Loa is a prime example.
2. Fold Mountains:
- Fold mountains form when two or more tectonic plates on Earth are forced together. Rocks and other debris are bent and folded into mountain ranges, hills, and rocky outcrops at these interacting, compressing limits.
3. Block Mountains:
- Block mountains develop as a result of a fault block being raised. Horsts and grabens are terms for higher and lower blocks, respectively. Spreading the surface apart causes tensional forces to build up, and when these tension forces separate, the center block falls. The United States Sierra Nevada Range serves as an illustration of this.
4. Residual mountains:
- These mountains are created as a result of an elevated area eroding. These structures might also be referred to as mountains of denudation. Examples of residual mountains are the Balkan Peninsula, the Scandanavian Mountains, and the Scottish Highlands.
5. Dome mountains:
- Dome mountains are created when massive lava globs rise from the crust's interior and push up nearby rocks, causing a spherical swelling. When magma cools, a substantial dome of harder rock forms beneath the surface, which is occasionally exposed by erosion.
