Mountains formed by magma that reaches the Earth's surface are called volcanoes.
No, mountains that are formed when molten materials reach the earth's surface through a weak area in the crust are typically referred to as volcanic mountains. Fault-block mountains, on the other hand, are formed by the movement of tectonic plates along faults, resulting in blocks of crust being uplifted or dropped down.
False. Mountains that begin when molten material reaches Earth's surface and then cools and solidifies are known as volcanic mountains. Fault-blocked mountains are formed when tectonic forces cause the Earth's crust to be uplifted and tilted along faults.
Volcanic mountains are formed by the eruption of magma on Earth's surface. These mountains are built up from layers of lava, ash, and other volcanic materials that accumulate during eruptions. Some examples of volcanic mountains include Mount Fuji in Japan and Mount St. Helens in the United States.
Magma is newly formed hot molten rock that is forced upward from Earth's mantle through a vent or fissure in the crust. When this molten material reaches the surface, it solidifies and accumulates over time to form volcanic mountains.
Some examples of landforms that have formed on Earth's surface include mountains, valleys, plateaus, plains, deserts, canyons, and coastlines. These landforms are created through various geological processes such as volcanic activity, erosion, tectonic movements, and weathering.

intrusive rocks are formed within the earths surface from magma. extrusive rocks are formed from lava outside of earths surface
Volcanic mountains are formed when lava reaches the Earth's surface. The lava becomes viscous and cannot flow away readily. This then accumulates around the vent and as different layers pile up, a volcanic mountain is formed.
The Earth's surface has changed significantly over time due to processes such as plate tectonics, erosion, and volcanic activity. Continents have shifted positions, mountains have formed and eroded, and oceans have expanded and contracted. These changes have been ongoing for billions of years and continue to shape the Earth's surface today.

Magma is newly formed hot molten rock that is forced upward from Earth's mantle through a vent or fissure in the crust. When this molten material reaches the surface, it solidifies and accumulates over time to form volcanic mountains.
Volcanic mountains are not formed due to plate collision. Instead, they are created when magma reaches the Earth's surface, either explosively or through slow eruptions, building up layers of solidified lava that form the mountain.
