GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Dome Mountains are formed from hot molten material (magma) rising from the Earth’s mantle into the crust that pushes overlying sedimentary rock layers upward to form a “dome” shape. Unlike a volcano, the magma typically does not reach the Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -Orogeny is a mountain building process that takes place at a convergent plate margin when plate motion compresses the margin. An orogenic belt or orogen develops as the compressed plate crumples and is uplifted to form one or more mountain ranges.

Detailed explanation-3: -Volcanic Mountains are formed when molten rock (magma) deep within the earth, erupts, and piles upon the surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fold mountains are created where two or more of Earth’s tectonic plates are pushed together. At these colliding, compressing boundaries, rocks and debris are warped and folded into rocky outcrops, hills, mountains, and entire mountain ranges. Fold mountains are created through a process called orogeny.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
