Movements of tectonic plates create volcanoes along the plate boundaries, which erupt and form mountains.

When plates collide or undergo subduction, the plates tend to buckle and fold, forming mountains.

When a fault block is raised or tilted, block mountains can result.Higher blocks are called horsts and troughs are called grabens.

Fefers to the geological processes that underlie the formation of mountains.

Hotspots are supplied by a magma source in the Earth's mantle called a mantle plume.

Several movements of the Earth's crust that lead to mountains are associated with faults.
