A upwarped mountain is a mountain consisting of a broad area of the Earth's crust that has moved gently upward without much apparent deformation, and usually containing sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks
Mountains can be formed through several different ways. Uplifted mountains are formed At Fault lines when one block of earth lift up over another block of earth. The result is uplifted mountains and eroded materials in the valley.
folded mountains are like rock layers that are folded like a rug that has been pushed up against a rock. upwarped mountains form when blocks of Earth's crust are pushed up by forces inside Earth. As the rocks erode they form the peaks and ridges. From my science book.
Uplift is the tectonic process in which structural highs in Earth's crust are created. Mountains are uplifted areas of the Earth's crust and therefore, are formed by uplift.

they are different in the way that they are formed.
False. These are called Horst mountains.
No, only reverse faults can cause a mountain.

Upward mountains are mountains that are formed when blocks of Earth's crust are pushed up by forces inside the Earth
Folded mountains are large mountain ranges that form through the folding of rock layers due to tectonic plate movements. These mountains typically have long ridges and valleys, with the rock layers appearing bent and folded. Examples include the Himalayas and the Appalachians.

The Porcupine Mountains were able to formed, even though not even close to any tectonic plates, because of ancient, hard volcanic basalt that was uplifted. The ridges are pieces of once-towering mountains. The Porcupine Mountains were also formed by glaciers during the ice age.
