No. Mountains are formed when the end of tectonic plates collide pushing one side up or both.
no
Often, since moving Earth plates are what forms most mountains.
near tectonic plates
Yes. A lot of the centre of Ireland is low and flat. Most, though not all, Of Ireland's mountains are near the coast.
Matale is near the centre with Kandy south of the centre
Continents and mountains are sometimes formed by volcanoes that occur on an arc near a subduction zone. The activity of the volcanoes can cause shifts in the plates that form mountains and lift continents.
because they can't form near the coast because of the different plates
Mountains are commonly found near convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide, causing crustal uplift and the formation of mountain ranges. Additionally, mountains can also be found at divergent plate boundaries where plates move away from each other, creating rift valleys and volcanic mountains.

The mountains near our community are called Appalachian mountains.
Mountains are mostly found in areas where tectonic plates meet, such as along convergent plate boundaries or at hot spots where magma rises to form volcanic mountains. They can also be found in regions with uplift caused by tectonic activity, such as the Himalayas due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
There are some mountains that are near the equator.There are many more mountains that are nowhere near the equator.
