What kinds of landforms do wind and glaciers form?
They generally form mountains.
What are two kinds of mountains?
Two kinds of mountains are volcanic mountains, which form from volcanic activity, and fold mountains, which form from tectonic plate collisions causing the Earth's crust to fold and create mountain ranges.
What mountains form from pools of magma that accumulate underground and push up on crustal plates?
dome
What natural occurrences causes mountains to form or disappear?
Mountains form due to tectonic plate movements, such as colliding or shifting plates, that push the Earth's crust upwards. Mountains can also be caused by volcanic activity. Erosion, weathering, and geological processes like subduction can contribute to the natural disappearance of mountains over time.
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.
What type of mountain is form by upward movements by ckunks of earths crust?
Fold mountains are formed by the upward movements of chunks of the Earth's crust. This occurs when tectonic plates collide, causing horizontal compression and the crust to buckle and fold, leading to the formation of fold mountains like the Himalayas.
How do mineral deposits form and become buried underground?
Mineral deposits form when minerals dissolve in water and then solidify in cracks or spaces in rocks. Over time, these deposits can become buried underground through processes like sedimentation, volcanic activity, or tectonic movements.
When i am hot i am a liquid. when i am cool i am a solid i can make mountains and destroy towns inspend most of my time underground what am i?
You are lava. Lava is molten rock that flows as a liquid when hot and solidifies to form mountains when cooled. It can erupt from volcanoes to destroy towns and often resides underground in magma chambers.
The major forces that form folded mountains are?
The major forces that form folded mountains are tectonic plate movements, specifically convergent boundaries where two plates collide. The immense compressional forces generated during this collision cause the Earth's crust to buckle and fold, leading to the formation of mountain ranges. Over millions of years, continued plate movements can further deform and uplift these folded mountains.
How is the way volcanic mountain form different from the way other mountains form?
Mountains can be formed in a couple of different ways. Different kinds of mountains are formed different ways. There are four different kinds of mountains: Volcanic, erosional, fault-block, and folded. Volcanic mountains, also known as volcanoes, can be standing alone or be part of one big chain of volcanoes. Volcanoes are areas in which lava and magma move to the surface and burst through the crust. Igneous rocks are formed here. Sometimes, hot molten rock spews out of volcanoes. This is earth's way of releasing its internal heat

Where are the Amarillo mountains?
The so named Amarillo Mountains are a range of granite mountains that run from northwest to southeast thru the Amarillo, TX area. They lie completely underground and are covered by younger layers of rock. They form the basis of the Texas Panhandle oil and gas fields.
