A very high, sharply rising rock formation is called a mountain. Some of the most famous mountain ranges in the United States include the Rocky Mountains, the Boulder Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains.
A very high and sharply rising rock formation.
blocks of rock are uplifted. This results in the formation of steep mountain ranges with one side rising sharply and the other side sloping more gently. Erosion can further shape the mountains over time.

Rising Sun Rock Festival was created in 1999.
Sedimentary rock is formed by the accumulation and consolidation of sediments, such as sand, mud, or organic material, usually in layers. This process does not involve high temperature and pressure that are typically associated with the formation of metamorphic rocks.
High pressure can cause the formation of the metamorphic rock slate from the sedimentary rock shale.
As rising superheated mantle rock nears the surface due to tectonic forces, the compression pressure from surrounding rock decreases, causes it to melt, forming magma. It's called decompression melting. The high pressures that keep the superhot mantle rock from melting in the first place are called lithostatic pressures.

sedimentary rock formation
If sedimentary rock melts and then cools, it can form igneous rock. This process involves the melting of the sedimentary rock due to high temperature and pressure, which leads to the formation of new igneous rock as it cools and solidifies.
Heat plays a key role in the formation of metamorphic rock by altering existing rocks under high pressure and temperature conditions. However, heat is not as critical in the formation of sedimentary rock, which primarily forms through the accumulation and compaction of sediment over time.
