Technically, a volcano is a type of mountain.
Mountains are formed by two continental tectonic plates colliding. The compressing plates forms folds in the crust, and if no or a small amount of erosion has occurred to wear down these folds, they continue to rise and break to form a mountain, which build on top of each other and form mountain ranges. (Lots of mountains)
Volcanoes are formed by a continental plate and an oceanic plate colliding, where the denser oceanic plate undergoes 'subduction' and slips under the less dense continental plate. The heat and pressure from the oceanic plate causes uplifting of magma from the earth's mantle, which rises to the surface, therefore creating a volcano.
There has to be a crack in the crust so a volcano can form and for the magma to rise through, while mountains are the crumpling of two landmasses. However, volcanoes may also later become mountains if they become completely dormant and no more lava (magma ).

you guys are idiots
mountains do not produce lave volcanoes do
A composite volcano.

The difference between a mountain range and a mountain chain is that a mountain chain is a row of mountains and a mountain range is lots of mountains in one area.

There is no difference, mount is just an abbreviation of mountain.
is that mountain are only little but not that little and escarpment are just between the mid range of a mountain
