I don't know exactly what you mean.
If you are asking about specific mountain ranges, some are:
The Organ Mountains in Brazil
Some of the Rocky Mountains in the West US
If you are talking in general, the mountain ranges made of igneous rocks are the ones formed from volcanoes. For example: most of the mountains in Hawaii are made of igneous rock because the island themselves are formed by volcanoes.

Are mountains made out of limestone?
They can be. Most mountain ranges form when the land is thrust upward by tectonic activity, so the type of rock present depends on what rock is present to begin with. The cores of mountain ranges, though, are often made of granite and gneiss. Volcanic mountains are not made of limestone.
Crustal rock is uplifted by the intrusion of an igneous mass?
a dome mountain is formed
Where rocks came from?
Molten magma cooled to become igneous rocks. Igneous rock eroded to become sediment which washed down into lakes and seas, became compacted and formed sedimentary rocks. Tectonic plate movements created mountain ranges which buried igneous and sedimentary rocks deeply to form metamorphic rocks.
What process changes a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock can change intometamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rockcan change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals.
What kinds of rocks are mountains made of?
Mountains are made up of many different types of rocks. It also depends on the where the mountain is located and how it formed. For example, mountains formed by recent volcanic activity will be mostly composed of Igneous rock. Though most mountains and the like are made up of a combination of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock.
What is a common intrusive igneous rock that formed the core of many mountain ranges?
granite
What are the mountain ranges made up of cordillera?
The Andes in South America, the Rockies in North America, and the Alps in Europe are examples of mountain ranges that are part of the Cordillera system. These mountain ranges are characterized by their long, continuous chains and high elevations.
What type of landform is stone mountain?
it is made out of igneous granite
Are igneous rocks made up of igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
What stone are the Andes mountain made of?
The Andes are made form a variety of sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rock types.
Are there igneous rocks in Georgia?
Stone Mountain is one huge igneous rock.
What is Igneous rock made?
Igneous rock is made of cooled and hardened lava or magma.

What type of rock is tuff igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
Go to gore Mountain(search) .zoom out and click on the red X next to mountain. What is being mined
What type rock is stone mountain made of?
Stone Mountain in Georgia is composed of quartz monzonite, granite and granodiorite--all closely-related igneous rocks.
Extrusive igneous rock are made from?
Extrusive Igneous rock is made from lava. Intrusive Igneous rock is made from magma. Magma and Lava are similar but magma is inside earth and lava is on the outside.
Does igneous rock come from mountains?
Igneous rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of magma and lava. Volcanic mountains and underwater mid-ocean mountain ridges would contain igneous rock, as well as uplifted igneous intrusions.
