These mountains form when faults or cracks in the earth's crust force some materials or blocks of rock up and others down. Instead of the earth folding over, the earth fractures and blocks are stacked. Examples include the Sierra Nevada mountains in North America and the Harz Mountains in Germany.

Yes, mountains are still forming today through processes such as tectonic plate movements, volcanic activity, and erosion. These ongoing geologic processes contribute to the growth and alteration of mountain ranges around the world.
The Himalayas are forming where the Indo-Australian plate is colliding with the Eurasian plate. This collision is causing the crust to be compressed and pushed upwards, resulting in the formation of the highest mountain range in the world.
Mountains are formed when 2 continental plates continents collide, thus deforming the surface and pushing it further up. They usually stop forming when the plates are fully sutured together. They are then destroyed by erosion overtime, as was the case with the Grenville Orogeny in Canada. If a mountain still exists, it means that the mountains are still forming, or have not fully eroded yet.
The Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate are currently colliding, forming the Himalayan mountain range.
Major mountain ranges are formed when crustal plates collide. The intense pressure and forces generated by the collision force the Earth's crust to buckle and uplift, forming mountain ranges.
How can you determine whether or not a mountain is still forming?i CAN TELL A MOUNTAIN IS STILL FORMING BY MEASURING HOW MUCH THE MOUNTAIN IS GETTING HIGHER

they don't know yet. they are still trying to figure it out
Yes, there are stars still forming in the universe. They form in nebulas.
Mountain building, continental drift.
All i know is a mountain goat, and i know that all of you know that a mountain goat lives in a mountain.
The mountain range forming the backbone of the United Kingdom is the Pennines.
Gander Mountain itself is the only place I know. Same thing with BabiesRUs. Don't understand why that it, they still get the money.
Maat mons is a volcano, but scientist don't know if its still active.
