One way a mountain can form is through volcanic activity, where magma pushes through the Earth's crust and forms a mountain as it cools. Another way is through tectonic activity, where two tectonic plates collide and push against each other to create a mountain range.
The Earth's tallest mountain ranges are formed at convergent plate boundaries.
A mountain is a sharpened peak formed by the glacial actions of three cirques on a mountaintop. Since we know that a cirque is a bowl-shaped basin formed by EROSION and a mountain horn is formed by three CIRQUES it becomes clear that mountain horns are formed by erosion.
Pine Mountain was formed by the tectonic forces associated with the collision of the African and North American plates. The intense compression caused by these forces resulted in the uplifting and folding of the rock layers that make up Pine Mountain.
Cradle Mountain was formed through geological processes millions of years ago, primarily by the uplifting of ancient sedimentary rocks and subsequent glacial erosion. The distinctive shape of Cradle Mountain is a result of the erosion caused by glaciers during the last Ice Age.
Erosion and Surface Runoff
Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.

what formed when a dome mountain was exposed
The type of mountain that is formed by colliding continents is the upward mountain.
One way a mountain can form is through volcanic activity, where magma pushes through the Earth's crust and forms a mountain as it cools. Another way is through tectonic activity, where two tectonic plates collide and push against each other to create a mountain range.
the andes mountains were formed by a continental collision
An alpine glacier is a glacier that FORMED on a mountain. It doesn't have to BE on a mountain, just formed on one.
Comparatives are formed in what two ways?

A volcanic mountain.
Pine Mountain was formed by the lifting and folding of the earth's surface that occurred when the continents collided.
