Definition of mountain man

Answer 1

There are mainly two kinds of mountains, namely fold mountains and block mountains. Fold mountains are formed when a continental plate collides with either another continental plate or an oceanic plate. One example of a continental-continental collision is the collision of the Eurasian plate and the Indo-Australian plate, forming the Himalayas fold mountains range which contains Mt. Everest and K2. One example of a oceanic continental collision is the collision of the Nazca plate and the South American plate, forming the Andes mountains. ---- Block mountains are formed when two plate diverge from each other and sink downwards, leaving a highland in the middle of them. That is a block mountain. You might find this useful, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountains.
