Mountains are formed in several ways. ONe was is from volcanic activity. Another is the folding of the Earth's crust. A third way is intrusive rock which is volcanic activity that pushes upwards but never manages to break through the crust to form a volcano.
However there was a Welsh village that was just six inches short of being an official mountain (1000 feet high.) The villagers choose to add material to make their hill into a mountain.

What erosion forms sand dunes?
Sand dunes are not formed by the process of erosion, they are formed by the process of aeolian deposition.
How does hurricane affect erosion and deposition?
In a hurricane, the rocks that are hard get broken down so erosion takes the rocks away to another place. Deposition is when the settling of soil and rocks so deposition is when the broken rocks get settled down into the ground or break down further and become sand.
Are igneous rocks produced largely by the deposition and consolidation of surface materials like sand and mud?
No. The description in the question refers to sedimentary rock. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma.
Elements sand made of?
Sand is formed by the erosion of rocks, particularly silica-based rocks. Teh composition therefore varies from location to location.
Which of the following is a way in which erosion and deposition affect the oceans?
By forcing water into cracks in the rocks at the shoreline. And in Deposition, waves carry large amounts of sand, rock particles and pieces of shell.
What are dirt rocks or sand carried by a river called?
deposition
What erosion forms sand dunes?
Sand dunes are not formed by the process of erosion, they are formed by the process of aeolian deposition.
How is some of the sand on the ocean beach made?
erosion of other rocks and deposition of sand from other places.
What is mound formed on land by the winds deposition of eroded sand?
Dune
What are rocks called when they are formed by sand rocks and shells?

Where does the desert sand come from?

Are igneous rocks produced largely by the deposition and consolidation of surface materials like sand and mud?
No. The description in the question refers to sedimentary rock. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma.
What natural materials are rocks formed from?
they are formed from water and sand together
Is'nt the sedimentary rocks are form of pressure and heat?
No, sedimentary rocks are not formed from pressure and heat. They are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, over time. Pressure and heat are more commonly associated with the formation of metamorphic rocks.
