Answer:

By mapping the surface area of mountains against their elevation scientists have found that most mountains can be classified into four different shapes when looked at in profile – diamond, pyramid, hourglass and inverse pyramid.People commonly perceive mountains as pyramid-shaped masses that steadily narrow as they slope upward. But researchers have found they actually have four principal shapes. Not only are pyramid-shaped mountains in the minority, but most ranges increase in area at higher elevations.
