Are the Alps folded volcanic or fault block?
Fault Block. That is wrong, they are fold mountains, they were formed on a weakening in the plate, and millions of years ago the plate was under pressure and then it buckled and the Rockies were formed.
Which two types of plate boundary forms volcanoes?
Fault Block mountains such as the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and Fold & Thrust Mountains such as the Himalayans.
What type of mountains are formed when molten rock erupts onto earth surface?
volcanic mountains
Very small fine particles of lava that can block out sunlight?
volcanic Ash
If a fault occurs on an area where rock layers have folded what kind of fault will it be?
A fault that occurs on folded rock layers is likely to be a thrust fault, where one block of rock is pushed up and over the other. This type of fault is common in areas where horizontal compression forces have folded the rock layers.
Match mountain range with its type of formation?
Folded mountain range - Appalachians Fault-block mountain range - Sierra Nevada Volcanic mountain range - Andes Dome mountain range - Black Hills

What is the difference between folded mountains and volcanic mountains and fault block mountains?
volcanic mountains can increase in size but fold mountain cant
How are the three types of mountains different?
The three types of mountains are volcanic mountains, folded mountains, and fault-block mountains. Volcanic mountains are formed from volcanic activity, folded mountains are created from tectonic plate movements and compression, and fault-block mountains are the result of faults in the Earth's crust causing blocks of land to move up or down.
What are the three most types of mountains?
The three most common types of mountains are fault-block, folded, and volcanic mountains.
What are the types of hills called?
The main types of hills are classified based on their formation and shape. These include: volcanic hills formed from volcanic activity, erosional hills created by erosion, fault-block hills resulting from the movement of tectonic plates, and residual hills formed from the weathering and erosion of surrounding land.

Are the Himalayas a folded or residual or block mountain?
Folded Mountain range.
Are the Rocky Mountains folded fault block volcanic or dome?
it depends on which mountain in the rocky mountains
How do folded volcanic and fault block mountains differ?
Folded mountains form when tectonic plates push against each other, causing the Earth's crust to buckle and fold. Fault block mountains, on the other hand, result from the displacement of large blocks of crust along fault lines. Fault block mountains tend to have steep cliffs on one side and a more gently sloping side known as a "fault scarp."
