they form where the crust is crumpled and pushed upward by the movement of plates
The people used to think that the mountains and valleys were formed by the cooling and heating of the crust
by volcanoes getting errupted
yes
Plate tectonics
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
Tectonic plates can be formed when two land masses collide over time (also how mountains can be formed). In this case however one land mass slides over the other. This can be very unstable though which is why earthquakes happen.
The formation of the Hawaiian Islands
Mountains are formed when the plate tectonics overlap

Plate tectonics
Mountains first formed when plate tectonics first began to move. Which caused uplifts of collision of the plates.

Mauna Kea is a Shield volcano (a hotspot). Fold mountains are formed by thrust tectonics.
Mountains are formed according to the rules of plate tectonics. Specific mountain ranges are formed at different times and different events. You will need to ask about specific ranges by name. Bet Wiki would have it once you have the range names.

The theory of plate tectonics is used to understand geological processes, such as ridges forming, volcanoes, earthquakes, mountains forming, and also to predict and minimize damage done by some of these natural disasters. Using plate tectonics to study earthquakes can help scientists predict roughly when an earthquake will occur, and also the severity of it. This is done by studying the outline of the plates involved. Plate tectonics also explains the Mid Atlantic Ridge in Iceland, which formed because plates separated, leaving magma to rise and cool. Mountains are formed when plates of similar strength and thicknes collide but do no buckle, and so formed mountains as they press together upward. Volcanic islands are formed by gaps in the boundaries of plates, and as the magma spews forth and cools, the buildup eventually creates an island.
