During the Amorican foldings
No, the Catskills are not really mountains, because they are really plateaus that have been eroded by rivers. These are also known as dissected plateaus which after being eroded form peaks very closely related to mountains. But don't be fooled... they are NOT mountains!
Above 100,000 feet altitude (20 miles).
It is 87 km of altitude.
The higher the altitude the lower the temperature.
the mountains formed by folding cause of tectonic plates
Folding is caused by compressional stress.
Alps
Mountains
rocky mountains
folding.
Altitude Trekking is only used for high mountains like in Himalaya, India. Altitude basically represents the height from the sea level, as u go high, you will trek on more high altitude mountains.
The alps were caused by folding

During the Amorican foldings
Folding and faulting in mountains occurs because of the movement of lithospheric plates as described in the theory of plate tectonics. Continent to continent collision compresses the crust and its sedimentary cover rocks, displacing and distorting them upwards (folding) and fracturing them (faulting). Folding and faulting can also occur in oceanic crust-continental crust collisions, in areas above subduction zones.
