Many different things can happen. The mountain could originally have been a volcano, and the lava cooled and hardened to form more layers of stone on the volcano until the volcano is no longer over a hot spot. Another thing that could happen, as in the case of India and the Himalayas, a tectonic plate could collide with another tectonic plate, causing the denser of the plates to go under the less dense plate, raising the plate it moved under. Also, if they both are of the same density and they collide, both plates will be raised to form mountains. The Himalayas are actually still rising. In prehistoric times, what is today called India, was not connected to Asia. It all depends on what type of mountain you are talking about.

What boundary creates mountains?
Mountains are created by the collision of tectonic plates, which are large pieces of the Earth's crust. When two plates push against each other, the land is forced upward, forming mountains.
What geographical boundary creates mountains?
Mountains are created by tectonic plate boundaries where plates collide, causing the Earth's crust to fold and push upwards, forming mountain ranges.
What creates mountains?
Mountains are typically formed through the process of tectonic plate movements, where two plates collide, causing one plate to be forced upwards and form a mountain range. Volcanic activity can also contribute to the formation of mountains when magma pushes through the Earth's crust and forms volcanic mountains. Additionally, erosion and weathering can shape and carve the mountains over time.
How do the volcanic mountains form?
Volcanic mountains form when molten rock (magma) erupts onto the Earth's surface through a vent or opening in the Earth's crust. This magma cools and hardens to form lava flows, layers of volcanic ash, and other volcanic materials that build up over time to create a mountain. Continued eruptions can further build up the size of the volcanic mountain.
What plate boundary creates mountains?
Mountains are created at convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide and push against each other, causing the Earth's crust to fold and uplift, forming mountain ranges.
Why are mountains cunstructive?
The building of mountains creates new land on the surface of the Earth.
What happens to earth's crust when mountains are eroded?
The Earth's crust becomes weathered, and this can affect the landscape over time.

What would happens when two of the plates of the earth's crust are colliding together?
I pretty sure that is creates an earthquake.

What are the types of mountains?
There are three main types of mountains. block mountains formed by sections of the earth's crust that have been tilted or lifted up by the movement of two close fault lines, large cracks in the earth's surface. These are usually smaller than other types of mountains and are often separated by valleys. Volcanic mountains are formed by magma that is pushed out of the earth through a crack or weak place in the earth's crust. Fold mountains are formed when rock is "squeezed" together. When plates collide, the rock along the edges crumples, creating a huge zig-zag pattern in layers of the earth's crust. Upwarped mountains are formed when magma pushes up the earth's crust without breaking the surface. This creates a rounded mountain that gently slopes toward the surrounding land.

What creates the hymaliya mountains?
two plate boundaries .

How many mountains does mercury have?
Yes. Mercury is a planet covered by a rocky landscape with mountains and craters.
