Question

three types of mountain its characteristic and example
​

Answer 1

Answer:

It can take millions and millions of years for mountains to form. 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Fold Mountains (Folded Mountains)
• Fold Mountains (Folded Mountains)Fault-block Mountains (Block Mountains)
• Fold Mountains (Folded Mountains)Fault-block Mountains (Block Mountains)Dome Mountains.
• Fold Mountains (Folded Mountains)Fault-block Mountains (Block Mountains)Dome Mountains.Volcanic Mountains.
• Plateau Mountains.

Fold mountains- Fold mountains are the most common type of mountain. The world’s largest mountain ranges are fold mountains. These ranges were formed over millions of years.Fold mountains are formed when two plates collide head on, and their edges crumbled, much the same way as a piece of paper folds when pushed together. Examples are -Himalayan Mountains in Asia,the Alps in Europe

Fault mountain- These mountains form when faults or cracks in the earth's crust force some materials or blocks of rock up and others down.Instead of the earth folding over, the earth's crust fractures (pulls apart). It breaks up into blocks or chunks. Sometimes these blocks of rock move up and down, as they move apart and blocks of rock end up being stacked on one another.Examples- the Sierra Nevada mountains in North America,the Harz Mountains in Germany

Dome mountains- Dome mountains are the result of a great amount of melted rock (magma) pushing its way up under the earth crust. Without actually erupting onto the surface, the magma pushes up overlaying rock layers. At some point, the magma cools and forms hardened rock. The uplifted area created by rising magma is called a dome because of looking like the top half of a sphere

Volcanic mountains- Volcanic Mountains are formed when molten rock (magma) deep within the earth, erupts, and piles upon the surface. Magna is called lava when it breaks through the earth's crust. When the ash and lava cools, it builds a cone of rock. Rock and lava pile up, layer on top of layer.Mount St. Helens in North America,Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines
