Detailed explanation-1: -There are two main types of volcanic mountains: volcanoes and dome mountains. Volcanoes are formed when magma erupts all the way to the surface of the Earth. The magma will harden on the Earth’s surface, forming a mountain. Dome mountains are formed when a large amount of magma builds up below the Earth’s surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mountains form where two continental plates collide. Since both plates have a similar thickness and weight, neither one will sink under the other. Instead, they crumple and fold until the rocks are forced up to form a mountain range. As the plates continue to collide, mountains will get taller and taller.
Detailed explanation-3: -Volcanic Mountains. Fold Mountains. Block Mountains. Residual Mountains. Dome Mountains.
