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.
the Himalayasi need a example of fault block mountains(The himalayas are NOT fault block mountains , they are fold mountains.)
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.
The Jura Mountains and the Zagros Mountains are examples of the fold mountains. The fold mountain is formed as a result of the effects if the folding on layers within the upper part of the crust of the earth.
The Rocky mountains are, I believe, consisted of the Transform Fault movement.
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.
earthquakes often occur near fold mountains because fold mountains are formed on the earth's fault lines ( invisble lines in the earth's crust) and earthquakes happen when two fault lines crash together.
what are mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault
Fold mountains are formed due to the collision of plates and earth movements.
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.
