Mount Muhabura, part of the Virunga mountain range, is primarily composed of volcanic rock resulting from past volcanic activity. It is one of the eight volcanoes in the range, which is characterized by its steep slopes and conical shape. The region is a result of tectonic activity associated with the East African Rift System, leading to the formation of these prominent volcanic peaks. The mountain is also known for its rich biodiversity and is home to various endemic species.
Mountain formation refers to the geological processes that underlie the formation and metamorphism are all parts of the orogenic process of mountain building.

Dr. Seuss did not explain the formation of mountain ranges. He was a children's author and illustrator known for his whimsical stories and imaginative characters, not for scientific explanations. Geologists study processes like tectonic plate movements and erosion to explain the formation of mountain ranges.
Volcanic mountain.
Mountain formation can occur when tectonic plates collide, causing one plate to be pushed up and over the other. This process, known as mountain building or orogenesis, can create mountain ranges and other topographical features over millions of years. Additionally, volcanic activity and the accumulation of sediment can also contribute to the formation of mountains.
