Do all mountains are said to be volcanoes?
No. Most mountains are created by tectonic plates pushing inot each other.
How was Annapurna formed?
Annapurna, like all other mountains in the Himalayas, were formed by tectonic forces pushing landmasses upwards.
How was mt Annapurna formed?
Annapurna, like all other mountains in the Himalayas, were formed by tectonic forces pushing landmasses upwards.
What kinds of mountains are formed by plate tectonic motions?
All of them. Every mountain there is.
What is created from an earthquake?
Mountains, hills, faults, ditch, and volcano.
Why are earthquakes mountains and volcanoes in the same classification?
They are all natural things caused by tectonic plates
Are all mountains alike?
No. All mountains are not alike. Some are created by volcanic activity. Some are created by continental plates crashing together. Others by faulting.
What are the internal forces that created Himalayas?
Erosion, Wind, And Weathering are all the forces. Not sure though
What is the relation between tectonic plates and mountains?
Mountains are formed by plae tectonics. It happens when 2 plates collide and 1 plate is pushed up. The resulting upwards force makes a mountain range. The Rockies, Andes, and the Himalayas are all examples of this.
What direction plates tectonic move in?
The earth's plates move in all directions: up, down, and sideways. That's why we have mountains and subsidances and earthquakes and volcanoes and all sorts of stuff!
Are there any earthquakes in the mountain ranges?
Yes, they are, as the mountains are formed by the tectonic plates meeting head on, and being driven upwards. Which causes the ground to shake, which is what we call an earth quake. Mountains are fond all along the tectonic plate boundrys as well as valleys, which is when the land is moving apart also due to the tectonic plates below pulling away from each other.

What is the Earth's surface like?
Earth's surface is almost not flat at all. Its surface is composed of different, broken up pieces called tectonic plates. All of Earth's tectonic plates are always moving. Sometimes too slowly for it to be detected without instruments such as a seismograph. However, the forces of the tectonic plates are extremely great. Two tectonic plates moving in the same direction push the surface upwards, creating mountains or folded mountains. If two tectonic plates are moving in opposite directions, then it could create a trench in the ocean. Rivers and streams also play a role in shaping Earth's surface. The rivers and streams flow over land and erode the underlying surface. The water may carry small particles of eroded rock which would collide with a surface and increase the amount of erosion. Some create huge valleys or canyons. For example, the Grand Canyon was eroded by water travelling through the created gap. It eventually became the size it is today, but ,over time, gradually becomes bigger due to weathering, erosion, and abrasion.
