An easy way to explain how mountains are formed is through geological activities. Most mountains are formed as a result of volcanic eruptions while others are formed through erosion and other activities.

Mount St. Helens in the United States, known for its catastrophic eruption in 1980. Mount Fuji in Japan, an iconic and symmetrical volcano that last erupted in 1707. Mount Etna in Italy, Europe's most active volcano with frequent eruptions.

Hawaii's mountains and Hawaii itself are made from volcanic eruptions. The volcanoes on Hawaii and surrounding it are active and are creating new islands today!
Vocanoes can be helpful because the earth's first oceans and atmosphere were formed from the gases given off by volcanoes. Volcanoes have also shaped the earth's landscape, many of our mountains, islands, and plains have been built by volcanic eruptions.

Volcanic activity can form fold mountains or block mountains. Fold mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide. Block mountains are formed when fault block shifts.
