Well, mountains are formed mostly with folding and sometimes with volcanic eruptions. MOUNT EVERST was formed by the folding of the ocean. Folding is when the earth's crustal plates start to push together to form a mountain.
What else can I help you with?
What forms the elevated part of the earths crust?
continental crust
What do folds in Earth's crust form mostly?
Folds in Earth's crust mostly form due to tectonic plate movement and the resulting compression or stretching of the rocks. The type of fold that forms depends on the direction and magnitude of the force exerted on the rocks. Fold structures can include anticlines, synclines, and monoclines, among others.
What forms valcanoes?

Where do fine grained igneous rock form?
Well that will be intrusive igneous rocks, extrusive forms inside the earths crust
Forms inside Earth's crust?
Some common forms inside Earth's crust include igneous intrusions like dikes and sills, metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and schist, and folds and faults created by tectonic forces. These structures provide insights into the geological history and processes that have shaped the Earth's crust over time.
The oceanic crust is made up mostly of dense rock called what?
The oceanic crust is mostly made up of basalt, which is a dense volcanic rock that forms from the cooling of lava at the Earth's surface.
