A volcanic mountain is a mountain formed by volcanic action. It is usually cone-shaped with a depression on top, which is where the crater is, or was, in the case of extinct volcanoes. Volcanic mountains rise up as a result of movement of the tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust, which allow the magma to rise up from the mantle underneath.

Ancient volcanic mountains may have misshapen and craggy-looking upper portions. These are the volcanic plugs left behind after centuries of erosion have worn away the soil from around the plug.
a volcanic mountain is a mountain that is able to erupt.
