Mountains form due to tectonic plate movements, which cause the Earth's crust to be pushed together, creating upward pressure. This occurs in specific regions where plate boundaries interact, such as convergent plate boundaries where plates collide or subduction zones where one plate slides beneath another. These processes lead to the formation of mountain ranges in certain areas of the Earth.

What type of rock can only form on or near earths surface?
Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that can only form on or very near Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from weathering processes that occur on Earth's surface.
What are the six children of mother earth called?
In Greek mythology, the six children of Mother Earth (Gaea) are the Titans: Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, and Cronus.
Which type of rock can only form on or very near Earth's surface?
Any type of extrusive igneous rock. (i.e. basalt, rhyolite, andesite...) Also, some sedimentary rocks form at the surface by the precipitation of minerals when solutions cool or the water evaporates out of them. Examples include travertine, a calcite-rich rock that forms in hot mineral spring as the water cools, and various evaporites.
Critique the generalization that mountain only form at convergent boundaries Explain how other process can produce mountain?
While it is true that mountains can form at convergent boundaries through the collision of tectonic plates, they can also be produced by other processes. For example, mountains can form at divergent boundaries through the upwelling of magma and volcanic activity. Additionally, mountains can also be formed by the folding and uplifting of rock layers due to forces like erosion, tectonic movement, or even asteroid impacts. Thus, mountains can be the result of various geological processes beyond just convergent boundaries.
What are 4 ways mountains can be formed?
4 ways that mountains can be formed are Volcanic,Erosional,Folded,and Fault Block.Some people believe that there are 3 and if they were they would be only Volcanic, Erosional,and Fault Block. But either one they are the same.
Why do people live on only a small part of the Earth?

What mountains are snowy?

There are many things to do in mountains not only leisure activities. Many people ton research on mountains and people even live on mountains. Mounatains are very interesting places!
Do hot springs only form in the mountains?
Hot springs can form in various locations, not just in the mountains. They can be found in areas where there is geothermal activity, such as volcanic zones, tectonic plate boundaries, or areas with thick crust that allows heat from the Earth's interior to reach the surface.
Where is the only place on Earth not on the north or south pole covered by an icecap?

Are glaciers only found in Antarctica?
No, glaciers are found on mountains on every continent on earth, including Antarctica.
If there was no geographic features what would happen?
Geographic features can be described as mountains, rivers, lakes, trenches, etc. Without these there would be alterations in temperature, as well as the rotation of the Earth. Ethnic groups at war would not have mountains to form boundaries and there would be no water on Earth. There would only be snow in the far north and far south and the equator would be scorching hot.
