Mountains are formed by crustal movement. Generally, where the crust is very active, the plates are unstable. During the continuous movement of these plates, they will collide with each other or split, which will form large rifts and oceans, and the impact and compression of these plates will form mountains.

Generally, there are five basic types of mountains formed, including folding mountains, fault block mountains, dome mountains, volcanic mountains, and plateau mountains.

1. Folding mountains

It usually takes millions of geological changes to form. When two plates collide, a folding mountain will be formed, and their edges will be broken, just like a piece of paper folded when pushed together.

2. Fault block mountains

Fault block mountains are formed when faults or fractures in the earth's crust force some materials or massive rocks to rise while other materials go down.

3. Dome mountains

The dome mountain is the result of a large number of molten rocks pushing upward under the crust. During guniting, magma cools and forms hardened rocks. The uplift area generated by rising magma is called the dome mountain.

4. Volcanic mountains

Volcanic mountains are formed by volcanoes. When lava goes deep underground, erupts and accumulates on the surface, volcanoes are formed.

5. Plateau mountains

Plateau mountains are formed by erosion. Generally, they refer to areas with an altitude of more than 500 meters, and the experience time is relatively long.
