Yes it is very true. Due to enormous pressure build up by the volcanic material underground volcanoes are formed quickly. Mountains are formed slowly and gradually over a period of time and go on rising in inches and centimeters.

Why does it take a very long time for mountains to form?
Because the keep eroding and eroding and mountains are sometimes made out of volcanos after they have erupted many times. take Hawaii for instance it was formed by a volcano.
How does tectonic plate motion relate to the formation of volcanos?
because the tectonic plates converge and form mountains then the lava forms underground and erupts with burnin hot maga and lava
Can volcano form under water?
Volcanos CAN form under water. that is how land is formed.
Why volcanos do not form along the San Andrea's fault?
Because of the plates
Do islands form from volcanos?
Some islands are formed by volcanoes, but most are not.
Where and how do most mountains form?
mostly on techtonic plates by volcanos
How do mountains and volcanos form?
when to different plates push up to form a volcano
What types of land form cover most of Japan?
Volcanos and mountains cover most of japan
What type of volcano commonly develops to form large volcanic mountains?
Composite volcanos commonly develop to form large volcanic mountains.
Why does it take a very long time for mountains to form?

What are folded chain mountains?
plates of rocks beneath the earth's surface fold up and they have stones to help them since without them they will brake and form volcanos
How do volcanos form along ocean ridges?
Along rift valleys, lava pours out of cracks in the ocean floor, gradually building new mountains.
Where do most volcanoes from?
Volcanos form usually from thin spots in the Earth's crust where magma pipes may extend up to the surface. Magma flow may build up from these pipes resulting in the formation of volcanos. Also, plate tectonics may result in regions of upheval and the formation of mountains and volcanos.
How do volcanos underwater form?
they form by something
What kind of mountains form from hot spots?
Hot spot volcanos. As these age they can become island chains and eventually subsurface seamount arcs if the hot spot is in the ocean.
Where do coal beds form?
Volcanos
How does tectonic plate motion relate to the formation of volcanos?
because the tectonic plates converge and form mountains then the lava forms underground and erupts with burnin hot maga and lava
