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.

How is the way volcanic mountain form different from the way other mountains form .?

Mountains can be formed in a couple of different ways. Different kinds of mountains are formed different ways. There are four different kinds of mountains: Volcanic, erosional, fault-block, and folded. Volcanic mountains, also known as volcanoes, can be standing alone or be part of one big chain of volcanoes. Volcanoes are areas in which lava and magma move to the surface and burst through the crust. Igneous rocks are formed here. Sometimes, hot molten rock spews out of volcanoes. This is earth's way of releasing its internal heat
