Mountains can be formed by volcanic activity (volcanoes such as Mauna Kia or Kilimanjaro) Mountains can be formed when two continents bump into one another as a result of plate tectonics (such as the Himalayas, Alps or Rockies) Mountains can be formed by block faulting when ground around the mountain sinks into the earth (such as the Rwenzori Mountains or the Black Forrest mountains) Mountains of hard rocks can be left as the result of erosion of softer rocks around them (such as the mountains in the English lake district or Monument Valley in the US). Mountains can be made as the result of a meteorite impact (such as those to be seen on the Moon)
