Forces form below the rock layers push upward, lifting portions of the rock layers up above the surface of the surrounding landscape.
Fold mountains are formed when two of the Earthâ??s tectonic plates push together. This process is called orogeny. The pressure of the colliding plates force the edges of the plates upward into folds. Fold mountains are the most common type of mountain. It takes millions of years to create a mountain range!

The process of subduction is responsible for the formation of the mountains of Central America and the western northern continent.
