The Ural Mountains were formed by the continents of Europe and Asia joining together.
Europe and Asia are separated by the Caucasus Mountains. The range acts as a natural border between these two continents, with parts of the mountains belonging to both Europe and Asia.
Continents and mountains are sometimes formed by volcanoes that occur on an arc near a subduction zone. The activity of the volcanoes can cause shifts in the plates that form mountains and lift continents.
Crowders Mountain is part of the Appalachians, which formed during the Alleghenian Orogeny. The mountains formed when the continents of the time, Euramerica and Gondwana, collided to form the supercontinent Pangaea. The sections of the continents that collided correspond to the modern continents of Africa and North America.
