Mountains are made by movements in earths?

Yes! Amazing isn't it! Mountains are formed by slow but gigantic movements of the earths crust. The Earth's crust is made up of 6 huge slabs called plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. When to slabs of the earth's crust smash into each other the land can be pushed upwards, forming mountains. Many of the greatest mountain ranges of the world have formed because of enormous collisions between continents.
