What is a Mountain? A mountain is a large landform that rises above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally considered to be steeper than a hill. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism.
Mountain Formation Volcanic mountain It is form when molten rock from deep inside the Earth erupts through the crust and piles up on itself.

Mountain Formation Fault-block mountain It is form when stresses within and between the tectonic plates lead to cracking and faulting of the Earth's surface, which forces blocks of rock up and down.
