The Earth is essentially a piece of shell on a giant turtles back. Like all creature, they will have dirt accumulated over time. Volcanoes are formed due to a build up of sebum and dirt by the giant turtle to form a giant pimple. Volcanoes erupt when this pimple sac is ruptured

What is the area that creates volcanic mountains?
There are two areas where volcanic mountains often form. They are subduction zones and hot spots.
How do the volcanic mountains form?
Volcanic mountains form when molten rock (magma) erupts onto the Earth's surface through a vent or opening in the Earth's crust. This magma cools and hardens to form lava flows, layers of volcanic ash, and other volcanic materials that build up over time to create a mountain. Continued eruptions can further build up the size of the volcanic mountain.
What type of boundaries creates volcanic mountains?
Volcanic mountain ranges are formed from oceanic-continental convergent-subduction boundaries, much like with volcanic islands. When a plate is subducted, the crust forming this plate is heated and melted creating magma which erupts from the crust and creates volcanic mountain ranges.
What creates mountains?
Mountains are typically formed through the process of tectonic plate movements, where two plates collide, causing one plate to be forced upwards and form a mountain range. Volcanic activity can also contribute to the formation of mountains when magma pushes through the Earth's crust and forms volcanic mountains. Additionally, erosion and weathering can shape and carve the mountains over time.
What two factors contribute to the formation of mountains?
Mountains are formed by two main factors: tectonic activity, such as the collision of continental plates that creates fold mountains, and volcanic activity, which results in the formation of volcanic mountains from lava and volcanic eruptions. Other factors, such as erosion and weathering, also play a role in shaping mountain landscapes.
Are the Rocky Mountains volcanic?
no the rocky mountains are not volcanic.
What type of boundaries creates mountains?
Volcanic mountain ranges are formed from oceanic-continental convergent-subduction boundaries, much like with volcanic islands. When a plate is subducted, the crust forming this plate is heated and melted creating magma which erupts from the crust and creates volcanic mountain ranges.
Does Oregon have volcanic mountains?
Yes. There are several volcanic mountains in Orgeon.
Are the Olympic Mountains volcanic mountains?
no
What do ocean-ocean convergence produce?
Parallel belts of folded mountains and volcanic mountains
What is the difference between folded mountains and volcanic mountains and fault block mountains?
volcanic mountains can increase in size but fold mountain cant
Are all mountains volcanic?
No, not all mountains are volcanic. Mountains can form through different processes such as tectonic plate movements, erosion, and volcanic activity. Some mountains are formed by the uplift of the Earth's crust or by the accumulation of sediments over time.
