wrong section

Answer 2

this belongs in earth science

Answer 3

ok so there is when two convergent plate converge (come together) and instead of one plate subducting (going under) under another and forming a volcano they both push up and form mountains. That was how Mount Everest was formed and Mount Everest is still growing because both of the plates are still pushing up. This process is called folding.

but to sum it up

Fold mountains are formed when two plates collided head on, and their edges crumbled.

Fault-block Mountains form when faults or cracks in the earth's crush force some materials or blocks of rock up and others down. Instead of the earth folding over, the earth fractures and blocks are stacked.

Volcanic Mountains are formed when molten rock, or magma deep within the earth, erupts, and piles upon the surface.

Dome mountains are the result of a great amount of melted rock pushing its way up under the earth without folding or faulting resulting in a rounded dome. As the dome is raised above its surroundings erosion occurs, and as a result of erosion, peaks and valleys are formed.

Plateau Mountains are mountains that are really plateaus that have worn down from erosion.
