Non-volcanic mountains are caused when continental plates converge.
Volcanic Activity
Mountains formed by magma that reach the Earth's surface are called volcanic mountains or ridges.
It is molten rock that forms volcanic moutains.

Volcanic activity can form fold mountains or block mountains. Fold mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide. Block mountains are formed when fault block shifts.
