How the mountains are formed?

Volcanic mountains are formed when a tectonic plate is pushed beneath another (or above a mid-ocean ridge or hotspot) where magma is forced to the surface. When the magma reaches the surface, it often builds a volcanic mountain, such as s shield volcano or a stratovolcano. read more

Mountains are formed by the movements of the Earth's crust and tectonic plates. Movements deep beneath the Earth's surface cause a variety of reactions, which results in different types of mountains. Mountains can form as a result of volcanic activity, the collision of two tectonic plates or movement along a fault line. read more

Movements of tectonic plates create volcanoes along the plate boundaries, which erupt and form mountains. A volcanic arc system is a series of volcanoes that form near a subduction zone where the crust of a sinking oceanic plate melts and drags water down with the subducting crust. read more
