How many years a mountain can exist before it is washed to the sea?
It depends on what the mountain is made of and whether or not it is still being uplifted. The schist rock at the bottom of the Grand Canyon was once at the bottom of island mountain. In that sense, the mountain still partially exists. The age of the rock--between 1.8 and 2 billion years old.
What are two types of mountains that can form far from plate boundaries?
fault-block mountains and uplifted mountains
What is the responsible for the formation of exfoliation domes?
Granite forms plutonsof igneous rock several kilometers below the surface as magmaslowly cools and crystallizes. The granite is under great overhead pressure.Then, granite is uplifted to the surface during a mountain-building event. During the mountain building process, the overlying rock iseroded as the granite is uplifted, and the pressure on the granite reduced. The granite expands and forms fractures or sheet joints parallel to the surface. The granite then erodes in concentric layers (similar to how an onion peels) forming rounded masses called exfoliationdomes.

What are some similarities between volcanic and uplifted mountains?

A Dome Mountain
In science terms what is folding?
Folding is when formerly flat sedimentary layers of rock are uplifted and literally tilted and folded in the mountain building process.
True or false a mountain formed by blocks of rock uplifted by normal faults are called dome mountains?
False. These are called Horst mountains.
