Answer:

Mountains are classified into four main types: upwarped mountains, volcanic mountains, fault-block mountains, and folded (or complex) mountains.

1. Upwarped Mountains

Upwarped mountains occur when pressure inside the earth pushes the crust upwards in the center, forming gently sloped mountains.

2. Volcanic Mountains

Volcanic Mountains are formed when molten rock (magma) deep within the earth, erupts, and piles upon the surface. Magna is called lava when it breaks through the earth's crust. When the ash and lava cools, it builds a cone of rock.

3.Fault-Block Mountains

Tectonic plates are large slabs of the earth's crust that move according to the heating and cooling of liquid magma below the surface. These movements can form fault-block mountains.

hope it helps :))
