Mountain ranges are typically formed by the movement of Earth's tectonic plates, either through collision or divergence. The collision of plates can result in the folding and uplifting of rock layers to form mountain ranges. Erosion and weathering also play a role in shaping the final appearance of a mountain range.
The Smoky Mountains, which are located in the Appalachian Range
The Appalachian Mountains in eastern North America have rock layers that are folded due to tectonic activity. This folding occurred millions of years ago during the collision of continents that formed the mountain range.
Cradle Mountain in Tasmania, Australia is primarily made up of dolerite rock, which is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of magma beneath the Earth's surface. Dolerite is known for its columnar jointing and rugged appearance, making it a prominent feature of the landscape in the Cradle Mountain area.
The Earth's texture varies depending on the surface features. For example, land surfaces can range from smooth desert sands to rough mountain terrain. The ocean floor can be flat or rugged with underwater mountains and valleys. Overall, Earth's texture is diverse and dynamic.
Rock moves upward along faults to form a mountain range.

The Rakaposhi Mountain in Pakistan is a rock mountain. It is a part of the Karakoram mountain range, and is a popular climbing mountain during the summer months.
These mountains form when faults or cracks in the earth's crust force some materials or blocks of rock up and others down. Instead of the earth folding over, the earth's crust fractures (pulls apart). It breaks up into blocks or chunks. Sometimes these blocks of rock move up and down, as they move apart and blocks of rock end up being stacked on one another.
A cone-shaped mountain formed from rock thrown up from inside the Earth is called a volcano.

Ayers Rock, or Uluru, does not lie between any mountain ranges. Some distance to the west is the Peterman Range.
