Mountains get the distinct cone shape because billions of years of tectonic plates sliding and crashing together has forced the earth to form up into mountains or the other way mountains were formed in deep see canyons millions of years ago and the imence presure of the water gives the mountains there distict shape sound silly I know but billions of years ago the world was more water than land just like it is now but back then all the continents were one huge continent and in time the split up also forming mountains with the distinct cone shape hope this answer helps :)
