What are the four types of mountains and some examples of them?
Fault-block mountains formed by section of the earth's crust that have been tilted or lifted up by the movement of two close fault lines, large cracks in the earth's surface. these are usually smaller than other types of mountains and are often separated by valleys. other types of mountains are unwarped and volcanic. Volcanic mountains are formed by magma that is pushed out of the earth through a crack or weak place in the earth's crust. examples: East African Rift, Death Valley
Fold mountains are formed when rock is "squeezed" together. When plates collide, the rock along the edges crumples, creating a huge up and down pattern in layers of the earth's crust. examples: Jura mountains, Ridge and Valley Appalachians
Dome mountains are formed when magma pushes up the earth's crust without breaking the surface. This creates a rounded mountin that gently slopes toward the surrounding land and the magma under hardens. examples: Navajo Mountain in Utah, Bear Butte in South Dakota
Volcanic mountian starts out as a simple crack in the Earth called a volcanic vent. Magma erupts out of the ground as volcanoe flows, clouds of ash, and explosions of rock. This material falls back to Earth around the vent, and piles up around it. Over time (and sometimes quite quickly) a volcanic mountain builds up, with the familiar cone shape. examples: Mt. Fuji, Mt. Vesuvius (I hoped this helped)
