catastrophism
False. Dome mountains are formed by the uplifting and folding of rock layers, not by normal faults. Mountains formed by blocks of rock uplifted by normal faults are called fault-block mountains.
Crust
a fault
Plutonic rocks, generally coarse grained, interlocking texture, high density. eg. Granite
Plateaus are formed over time by the uplifting of a large area of land, followed by erosion which flattens the surface. Mountains are formed by tectonic plate movement, where two plates collide, causing one plate to subduct beneath the other, resulting in the crust being forced upward to form a mountain range.

how do geologists think earths atmosphere is formed
Mountains formed by magma that reaches the Earth's surface are called volcanoes.

Mountains are formed through tectonic processes, such as the collision of tectonic plates or the uplifting of the Earth's crust. This can result in the folding, faulting, and uplifting of the land, creating the distinctive features of mountains over millions of years. Erosion and weathering also play a role in shaping and sculpting mountains into their final form.
Diamonds are usually formed in the mantle.
intrusive rocks are formed within the earths surface from magma. extrusive rocks are formed from lava outside of earths surface
It was about 4 billion years ago, that the Earths oceans formed
The Appalachians were formed by layers of sedimentary rock uplifting and folding. Basically North America collided with Europe and Northern Africa.
They were formed by the heat coming up from the earths centre
It is the result of how the earth was formed.
