Answer:

Mountain are considered to be an landmasss that rise from the sediments

Explanation:

  • Mountain is generally a steep hill, usually surrounded by landmass. Forming a relief feature and a geographic divide.
  • The types of volcanoes depend on the volcanic fold and block.
  • Volcanoes are formed when the plate is pushed below another plate in mid-oceanic ridges or hotspots. At the depth of 100kms.  
  • Fold volcanoes occur when plates collide, the plates of rocks move on their side some are deeply folded while others are marginal.
  • Block mountain or rift valley are caused by faults in the crust when rocks are raised forming a horst of mountain buildup.
