Upwarped mountains are formed.
The Earth is made of giant plates of the Earth's crust. When these push together, they form hills and mountains.
yes, mountains are the result of drifting of earths crust towards each other over millions of result... The Himalaya, Andes etc. mountains were made through this drifting process....
In science, the crust refers to the outermost layer of a planet, such as Earth. It is the thinnest and coolest layer, and it is where we find landforms such as mountains, valleys, and plains. The Earth's crust is made up of solid rock material.
Fault-block landforms (mountains, hills, ridges, etc.) are formed when large areas of bedrock are widely broken up by faults creating large vertical displacements of continental crust.These mountains are formed by the Earth's crust being stretched and extended by tensional forces. Fault block mountains commonly accompany rifting, another indicator of tensional tectonic forces.
Mountains and ocean basins are found on the Earth's crust, specifically on the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle and is divided into tectonic plates that interact with each other to create these landforms.
A mountain is made of, quite simply, earth. Mountains form where land has been forced upwards by pressure from the tectonic plates, and so they are made of much the same thing that regular land is made of (such as rock and minerals).Earth and rocks
Yes! Amazing isn't it! Mountains are formed by slow but gigantic movements of the earths crust. The Earth's crust is made up of 6 huge slabs called plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. When to slabs of the earth's crust smash into each other the land can be pushed upwards, forming mountains. Many of the greatest mountain ranges of the world have formed because of enormous collisions between continents.

=mountains are made from the earth in the ocean=
Earth's crust is made up of 5% (by weight) iron No. It's made out of pizzia.
The solid part of the Earth's surface is called the crust. The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth and is made up of various types of rocks and minerals. It is where we find continents, mountains, and ocean basins.
