No, they can be made from ice as well
Folded mountains. These mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide and the layers of rock are pushed together, creating folds and wrinkles in the Earth's crust. Examples include the Himalayas and the Alps.
False. Dome mountains are formed by the uplifting and folding of rock layers, not by normal faults. Mountains formed by blocks of rock uplifted by normal faults are called fault-block mountains.
uplifted mountains
Mountains are made of rocks and dirt. They have high, bumpy tops, and they are high in elevation.
They are made of limestone, I think.
Mountains are made up of many different types of rocks. It also depends on the where the mountain is located and how it formed. For example, mountains formed by recent volcanic activity will be mostly composed of Igneous rock. Though most mountains and the like are made up of a combination of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock.
They are made up of mostly crystalline rock.
the faul-block mountains are made of huge tilted blocks of rock that are separated from surrounding rock by fault
