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.

Fault Block. That is wrong, they are fold mountains, they were formed on a weakening in the plate, and millions of years ago the plate was under pressure and then it buckled and the Rockies were formed.
Fault Block mountains such as the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and Fold & Thrust Mountains such as the Himalayans.
No, the rocky mountains were not formed on a destructive plate. That is wrong, they are fold mountains, they were formed on a weakening in the plate, and millions of years ago the plate was under pressure and then it buckled and the Rockies were formed.
The major types of mountains are fold mountains, fault-block mountains, and volcanic mountains. Fold mountains form from the folding of rocks due to tectonic forces, while fault-block mountains are created by the movement of large blocks of the Earth's crust along faults. Volcanic mountains are formed from the accumulation of volcanic materials such as lava, ash, and debris.
Mountains made of crumpled and folded layers of rock are called fold mountains. The breaking down of materials of Earth's crust into smaller pieces is weathering.
Fold mountains are formed due to the collision of plates and earth movements.

the Himalayasi need a example of fault block mountains(The himalayas are NOT fault block mountains , they are fold mountains.)
The major types of mountains are volcanic mountains, fold mountains, block mountains, and dome mountains. Volcanic mountains are formed from volcanic activity, while fold mountains are created by the folding of rock layers. Block mountains result from the uplifting or faulting of large blocks of the Earth's crust, and dome mountains are formed by the uplift of a circular-shaped area of rock.
Fault mountains are formed when rocks crack down due to lines of weakness in the earths crust. This cause huge blocks to move forming block mountains. Fold mountains are formed when land is folded into wave like shapes because of the tectonic movements underneath the earth crust.
