mountains occur where tectonic plates collide
When they rub against each other
Plus it could be caused by two continental plates colliding as well.
they occur mostly where 2 tectonic plates of the same crust (Continental or oceanic) met together at a conservative boundary (at a boundary where they both collide and go upwards) this is why mountains keep on growing, because the plates don't stop pushing.

Where are 95 percent of all tornadoes in the US located?
95% of all tornadoes in the US occur in an area known as Tornado Alley, which includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. Additionally, tornadoes can also occur in other regions of the US, such as the Southeast and Midwest.
What effect do mountains have on storm activity?
Mountains can influence storm activity by forcing moist air to rise and cool, leading to cloud formation and precipitation. This can result in more intense storms and localized heavy rainfall on the windward side of the mountains. On the leeward side, a rain shadow effect may occur, leading to drier conditions.
Where do valleys occur?
Valleys occur between mountains and hills, typically formed by water erosion from rivers and streams over time. They are geographical low-lying areas that are usually longer than they are wide, with varying depths and widths.
Names of 3 Fold Mountains?
Rocky Mountains, Andes Mountains, Alps, Himalayan Mountains, Appalachian Mountains
How do the location of mountains support wegeners idea about how mountains formed?
The distribution of mountain ranges across different continents, such as the Appalachian Mountains in North America and the Caledonian Mountains in Europe, supports Wegener's idea of continental drift. These mountain ranges were once connected when the continents were part of a supercontinent, and their alignment provides evidence for the movement of land masses over time. Additionally, the presence of similar geological features and rock formations on separate continents suggests a shared history of mountain building.
Mountains that do NOT occur in mountain chains are?

What are the atmospheric processes that occur in mountains?

Why do you need mountains?
Mountains stop clouds and it rains there, mountains play very important role for rain to occur.
What happens during which mountains and variations occur?
Mountains and variations occur due to the land moving and changing gradually over time. Mountains and variations can effect the way that land sits and moves.

Can mountains live on desert?
Mountains do not 'live' anywhere. They are inanimate objects. They can occur in deserts, however.
