Mountains can be formed in many other ways. As a result of the earth’s tectonic plates colliding together many mountains were created.The Earth’s crust is made up by numerous tectonic plates that still move today as a result of geologic activity underneath the surface.
Mountain development refers to the geological methods that underlie the creation of mountains.These processes are associated with large-scale actions of the Earth’s crust (tectonic plates). Mountain formation is connected to plate tectonic,folding, faulting,volcanic activity,igneous intrusions and metamorphism, all parts of the orogenic process of mountain building.
When two plates collide, it forces one of the plates to go up and that creates a mountain.Mountains form over millions of years.Mountains belts streched for hundreds even thousands of kilometers, and their structures pass through deep into the earth.The understanding of specific design features in terms of underlying tectonic processes is called tectonic geologically young or continuing processes is called neotectonics.To understand mountains we must first know more.
In many mountain studies this is done: instead the rock designs inside the mountains are described in analyze with tacit assumption that whatever made the designs also made mountains this assumption is not warranted. There are three types of mountains, volcanic, fold and block. A more detailed. Organisations useful on a local scale predates plate tectonic and adds to the above categories
