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.

What type of mountain is form by upward movements by ckunks of earths crust?

Fold mountains are formed by the upward movements of chunks of the Earth's crust. This occurs when tectonic plates collide, causing horizontal compression and the crust to buckle and fold, leading to the formation of fold mountains like the Himalayas.

Where are mountains found in earths layer?

Mountains are typically found in the lithosphere, the outer layer of the Earth that includes the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The formation of mountains is often associated with tectonic plate movements and interactions, such as when plates collide, causing rock to be forced upwards to form mountain ranges.


How mountains were made?

Mountain were made by huge segments of the earth's crust also know as tectonic plate. Over millions of year of volcanic activity under the earths crust forced these plates to shift. When to plates meet, the force of the volcanic pressure and the to plates may be pushed upward and create mountains.
