Domed mountains are mountains that are formed from magma pushing rock upwards. Folded mountains are mountains that are formed from two rock masses pushing against each other.
They form because of stresses put on the continental plate, forcing it to crumple. The effect of rising is furthered by the oceanic plate forcing it upwards, and by the melted material also pushing upwards, which is why these ranges also tend to be volcanic. An example is the Andes
Mountains are formed when two plates collide,They both push upwards and create a mountain.
Fog frequently forms in mountainous regions due to air being forced upwards by the mountains themselves. This causes the air to cool and condense its moisture into fog and clouds. This is called orographic fog.
Yes, but usually very slowly,such as the Himilayas, which are getting higher due to ongoing plate collision and uplift. Sometimes uplift is balanced or exceeded by erosion and weathering. Sometimes they can change size violently, such as Mt. St Helens, when much of its side blew off. Volcanism generally increases the height and width of mountains,though.

When one tectonic plate presses into another it can either force it upwards or downwards. If it is upwards, then mountains are formed as the plate pushes up the surface of the earth above it.
They form by plates pushing upwards

When the two plates collide, they fold. causing both plates to move upwards trying to get around one another. Over time when the plates move upwards, mountains form. This is exactly how Everest was formed.

The tectonic plate that holds India collided into another tectonic plate which caused the ground to gradually move upwards causing mountains.
A constructive plate boundary, as it pushes land upwards (which formed the mountains)
one way is when two plates push against each other they fold up against each other called 'fold mountains' an example being the Himalayas. they are continually growing as the plates continue to be pushed upwards and the plate rises up forming mountains.

They are not getting higher. They are in fact getting smaller. The Rocky Mountains do not lie on a fault line and thus there is no force to drive them upwards. Sorry, its as big as they will get.
