No, most mountains are formed from rocks squashed up as the continents move round the Earth furthermore, not every volcano is a mountain - for instance Yellowstone park is a volcano and it is not a mountain.

Why are volcanoes usually near hills?

volcanoes are usually the mountains,the plate boundaries colliding depend on where the volcanoes are formed so they are not purposely always formed by mountains.


How are volcanoes and mountains different?

Volcanoes are caused from eruptions from the mantle underneath the surface of the earth. Mountains are caused by the shift of tectonic plates amongst one another, causing n upward crease in the earth's crust.


Why are earthquakes mountains and volcanoes in the same classification?

Earthquakes, mountains, and volcanoes are all related to the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. Earthquakes occur due to the release of tectonic stress, while mountains are formed by the collision of tectonic plates, pushing crustal rocks upwards. Volcanoes are formed when magma from beneath the Earth's surface is released through openings in the crust, often associated with tectonic plate boundaries.


How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?

Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.


What do you call mountains hills and volcanoes?

Mountains, hills, and volcanoes are all types of landforms that rise prominently above the surrounding terrain. Collectively, they can be referred to as "topographical features" or "elevated landforms." Each type has distinct characteristics: mountains are generally steeper and higher, hills are lower and more gently sloping, while volcanoes are formed by volcanic activity and can vary widely in shape and size.

Mountains formed by magma that reaches the Earths surface are?

How are the mountains that are formed by subduction diffrent from mountains formed by continental crusts converging?

Subducting crust produces volcanoes and a narrow range of mountains (like the Andes). Continental convergence does not produce volcanoes and produces a wider range of mountains (Rockies or Himalayas).


What kinds of mountains are formed when magma rises to the surface and erupts?

Volcanoes.


Are volcano's mountains?

Not all volcanoes are mountains though most do form mountains. Some volcanoes form as simple fissures in the ground. There is a so-called supervolcano in Yellowstone that, does not take the form of a mountain. Kimberlite volcanoes also erupt too violently to form mountains.


Do the atlas mountains have volcanoes?

No, the Atlas Mountains do not have any active volcanoes. They are primarily formed by tectonic activity and uplift processes rather than volcanic activity.
