Mountains are formed when 2 continental plates continents collide, thus deforming the surface and pushing it further up. They usually stop forming when the plates are fully sutured together. They are then destroyed by erosion overtime, as was the case with the Grenville Orogeny in Canada. If a mountain still exists, it means that the mountains are still forming, or have not fully eroded yet.
