Answer:
The different types of mountains are: Fold mountains, Block mountains and Volcanic mountains.
Fold mountains: The Himalayan mountains and the Alps are young fold mountains with rugged relief and high conical peaks. The Aravali range in India is one of the oldest fold mountain systems in the world.
Block mountains: Block mountains are created when large areas are broken and displaced vertically. The Rhine valley and the Vosges mountains in Europe are examples of such mountain systems.
Volcanic mountains: Volcanic mountains are formed due to volcanic activity. Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa and Mt. Fujiyama in Japan are examples of such mountains.
