Best Answer

Yes, the Blue Ridge Mountains formed by destructive force when the tectonic plates pulled apart during the break-up of the Super Continent. As well, geologists believe the Appalachian Mountains--which include the Blue Ridge Mountain Range--once included active volcanoes. The plate forces folded the land, making the mountains, while volcanic forces created igneous rocks etc. This was many millions of years ago. The Appalachian mountains, Allegheny Mountains, and Blue Ridge Mountains are much older than the Rocky Mountains.

How do you form a mountain?

In short: you don't. Mountains are formed by geological processes. The Himilayas are fold mountains where two continental crusts have collided. The force crumples the rock into mountains. The Andes are formed at a destructive plate boundary where the force of the plate moving under it forces the ground up.
