When two tectonic plates converge, their edges can crumple kind of like an aluminum can does when you crush it. The result of these tectonic plates crumpling is huge slabs or rock being pushed up into the air. What are those called? Mountains, of course!
One other way mountains form is as the result of volcanic activity below Earth's surface. Sometimes molten rock called magma gets pushed up toward the surface. When that happens, it cools and forms hard rock. Eventually, the softer rock above it erodes to reveal a dome-shaped mountain below. If the magma actually breaks through to the surface, you get a volcano!

Mountains are formed as a result of Earth's tectonic plates smashing together as the Earth's crust is made up of multiple tectonic plates that still move today as a result of geologic activity below the surface.
