FOLD MOUNTAINS Most of the mountains we see

today are fold mountains. They are higher when compared to other mountains. Eg. Mt. Everest

Block mountains The block mountains are formed

as a result of uplift by land forms due to faulting.

Eg: Black forest

Relict mountain Due of the different weathering processes of prolonged

duration, the rocks that are not very resistant get disintegrated and only those resistant part remain. These mountains are called relict mountains. Eg: The Aravalli ranges and Nilgiris in India.

Volcanic mountains Volcanic mountains are caused when

molten rock flows out onto the earth is surface through fissures that are caused due to the movement of plates.

Eg: Mt. Fujiyama in Japan
