theories of mountain construction

so here is your answer...
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.
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.
hope it will help you.

plate tectonic is a competitive theory which offers for various relief features and tectonic events viz. mountain building folding and faulting Continental drift vulcamity seismic events(earthquake) etc....it envisage the formation of Mountain due to Collision of plate boundaries.
