volcanic mountains are mostly associated with igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks at their slopes can be found due to weathering,but mountains such as fold mountains can contain igneous rocks,metarmophic ro cks and even sedimentary rocks at their slopes

Which rock type is associated with a high-energy environment?
The rock type that is associated with a high-energy environment is sedimentary. High-energy environments usually produce sedimentary rocks with larger grain sizes.
