Mountains is a generic term which can include Volcanoes (which are formed by the eruption and cooling at the surface of molten magma) eg Mt Etna, Fold mountains which are formed by the destructive collision of Earth's tectonic plates - eg the Himalayas, Horsts which are formed by the action of faulting within continental plates - eg the Rwenzori Mountains, Erosion flowing uplift - eg Monument ValleyColorado and finally Impactors from space such as the mountain ranges seen on the Moon.
