What types of mountains are formed by volcanic activity?
Volcanic activity can form fold mountains or block mountains. Fold mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide. Block mountains are formed when fault block shifts.

What are the four types of mountain?
fault block mountains, volcanic mountains, fold mountains, dome mountains
What two types of mountains form by volcanic activity?
Volcanic activity can form fold mountains or block mountains. Fold mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide. Block mountains are formed when fault block shifts.
Which two types of plate boundary forms volcanoes?
Fault Block mountains such as the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and Fold & Thrust Mountains such as the Himalayans.
What is the difference between folded mountains and volcanic mountains and fault block mountains?
volcanic mountains can increase in size but fold mountain cant
What do you call mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault?
Fault-block mountains. These are created when rocks along a fault are uplifted and tilted, forming steep mountain ranges with prominent peaks and valleys. An example of such mountains is the Sierra Nevada in California.
Major types of mountains?
The major types of mountains are fold mountains, fault-block mountains, and volcanic mountains. Fold mountains form from the folding of rocks due to tectonic forces, while fault-block mountains are created by the movement of large blocks of the Earth's crust along faults. Volcanic mountains are formed from the accumulation of volcanic materials such as lava, ash, and debris.
What is a example of a fault-block mountain?
The Sierra Nevada mountain range in the United States is an example of a fault-block mountain. This range was formed by the tectonic forces that caused the hanging wall to rise and the footwall to drop along a normal fault. The distinctive block-like shape of the Sierra Nevada is a result of this movement.
How do folded and fault block mountains differ?

Are the Alps folded volcanic or fault block?
Fault Block. That is wrong, they are fold mountains, they were formed on a weakening in the plate, and millions of years ago the plate was under pressure and then it buckled and the Rockies were formed.
What are the 5 basic types of mountains in the world?
The five basic types of mountains in the world are fold mountains, fault-block mountains, dome mountains, volcanic mountains, and plateau mountains. Fold mountains form through the folding of rock layers, fault-block mountains result from the movement of tectonic plates, dome mountains are created by the uplifting of rock layers, volcanic mountains form from volcanic activity, and plateau mountains are elevated flat surfaces.
