1. Fold Mountains:
* Description: Formed when tectonic plates collide, causing layers of rock to buckle and fold. These mountains are often characterized by long, parallel ranges and valleys.
* Example: The Himalayas in Asia.
2. Fault-Block Mountains:
* Description: Formed when sections of the Earth's crust are uplifted or dropped along faults. These mountains tend to have steep, blocky slopes and flat summits.
* Example: The Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, USA.
3. Volcanic Mountains:
* Description: Formed when molten rock (magma) erupts from beneath the Earth's surface, building up over time. These mountains can be cone-shaped or have complex structures depending on the type of eruption.
* Example: Mount Fuji in Japan.
