    Study Notes

    Global Mountain Types

    Fold Mountains

    • Formed when two tectonic plates collide, causing the Earth's crust to fold and buckle
    • Can be thousands of meters thick and hundreds of kilometers wide
    • Example: Himalayan mountain range, Rocky Mountains
    • Characteristics:
      • Folded rocks
      • Thrust faults
      • Uplifted and eroded terrain
      • Often have a central core of ancient rocks surrounded by younger rocks
    • Formation processes:
      • Continental collision
      • Oceanic-continental convergence
      • Continental rifting

    Volcanic Mountains

    • Formed by volcanic activity, such as eruptions and lava flows
    • Can be highly variable in shape and size
    • Example: Hawaiian Islands, Mount St. Helens
    • Characteristics:
      • Volcanic rocks, such as basalt and andesite
      • Volcanic cones, calderas, and lava flows
      • Often have a distinctive conical shape
    • Formation processes:
      • Magma rising to the surface
      • Eruption of lava and ash
      • Accumulation of volcanic rocks and deposits
