The type of age of rocks found in mountains typically indicates the geological history and processes that shaped the region. For example, older rocks suggest that the area has undergone significant tectonic activity, metamorphism, or erosion over time. The presence of younger rocks might indicate more recent geological events, such as volcanic activity or sediment deposition. Overall, the ages of rocks can reveal insights into the mountain's formation, the environmental conditions at the time, and the geological timeline of the area.

What does jurassic mean?
"Jurassic" refers to a geologic period that occurred approximately 201 to 145 million years ago, known for the dominance of dinosaurs and the emergence of early mammals and birds.

What is a landform that is formed when horizontal rock layers are squeezed together from opposite ends?
They are or were called "fold mountains" but I've not seen the term used much now because it's taken as read. Essentially all mountains composed of sedimentary rocks above the continental basement (as I think you mean) are formed in this way, with the uplifting, folding and faulting being parts of the whole result. The cause is the Continental Collision part of Plate Tectonics.
What does a porous rock mean?
porous rocks are rocks through which water etc. can seep or pass through.
Types of Igneous rocks?
The most common types of igneous rocks are andesite, basalt, diorite, gabbro, granite, pegmatite, peridotite, porphyry, pumice, rhyolite, syenite, and trap.Igenous rocks are rocks that melt and become molten lava, then harden.
What does fautl mean in geology?
In geology, a fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred, resulting in displacement of rocks on either side. Faults play a key role in the formation of mountains and earthquakes.

What processes found at hot spots will help form the following rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are formed by continental plates colliding. These are Himalayan or Alps mountains. Sedimentary rock is also made into mountains when it is pushed up where tectonic plates collide.

Can rocks from the sea form mountains?
Yes, rocks from the sea can form mountains through the process of plate tectonics. When oceanic plates collide with continental plates, the oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges such as the Andes in South America.
