They are or were called "fold mountains" but I've not seen the term used much now because it's taken as read.
Essentially all mountains composed of sedimentary rocks above the continental basement (as I think you mean) are formed in this way, with the uplifting, folding and faulting being parts of the whole result.
The cause is the Continental Collision part of Plate Tectonics.
