What is the collapse of a mass of earth or rocks from a mountain called?

Why cant mountain get taller than 6 miles high on earth?
Mountains on Earth cannot get taller than about 6 miles high because at that height, the weight of the mountain causes the rock to flow like a liquid, ending any additional vertical growth. Additionally, the Earth's crust is not strong enough to support the weight of taller mountains, causing them to collapse under their own weight.
Crustal rock is uplifted by the intrusion of an igneous mass?
When an igneous mass intrudes into crustal rocks, it creates a force that uplifts the surrounding rock due to the expansion of the magma as it cools and solidifies. This process can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, as the uplifted rocks are pushed towards the surface. Over time, erosion may expose these rocks at the Earth's surface.
Dome-like mass of instrusive igneous rock?
A batholith is a dome-like mass of intrusive igneous rock that forms when magma solidifies beneath the Earth's surface. Batholiths are typically made of granitic rock and can cover large areas, often extending for hundreds of square kilometers. They are commonly associated with mountain-building processes and can be exposed at the surface after erosion.

What makes a hill a mountain?
