What makes uplifted mountains fault-block mountains and hot-spot volcanoes different from other mountains?
they are different in the way that they are formed.
True or false a mountain formed by blocks of rock uplifted by normal faults are called dome mountains?
False. These are called Horst mountains.
Is it true that Mountains formed by blocks of rock uplifted by normal faults are called dome mountains?
No, only reverse faults can cause a mountain.
What type of mountains are generally made up of undeformed rocks?
uplifted mountains
What is an upward mountain?
Upward mountains are mountains that are formed when blocks of Earth's crust are pushed up by forces inside the Earth
What is the definition of folded mountains?
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.
What makes uplifted mountains and fault block mountains different from other mountains?
they are different in the way that they are formed.

What are two types of mountains that can form far from plate boundaries?
fault-block mountains and uplifted mountains

How do mountains get uplifted?

The Adirondack Mountains in New York State are examples of?
uplifted mountains
When was Porcupine Mountains created?
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.
What type of mountains are generally made up of undeformed rock?
uplifted mountains
