What are the 5 basic types of mountains in the world?
The five basic types of mountains in the world are fold mountains, fault-block mountains, dome mountains, volcanic mountains, and plateau mountains. Fold mountains form through the folding of rock layers, fault-block mountains result from the movement of tectonic plates, dome mountains are created by the uplifting of rock layers, volcanic mountains form from volcanic activity, and plateau mountains are elevated flat surfaces.
What is the location of the fold mountains of the world?
The Jura mountains in France, and the Zagros mountains in Iran & Iraq are both examples of fold mountains.
