name any three types of mountains and give a chracteristic and an example of each
Answers
Answer:
There are three main types of mountains: fold mountains, fault-block mountains, and volcanic mountains. They get their names from how they were formed. Fold mountains - Fold mountains are formed when two plates run into each other or collide.
Mountain formation refers to the geological processes that underlie the formation of mountains. These processes are associated with large-scale movements of the Earth's crust (tectonic plates).Folding, faulting, volcanic activity, igneous intrusion and metamorphism can all be parts of the orogenic process of mountain building.
The formation of mountains is not necessarily related to the geological structures found on it.The understanding of specific landscape features in terms of the underlying tectonic processes is called tectonic geomorphology, and the study of geologically young or ongoing processes is called neotectonics.
