2. Mountain formation:  refers to the geological processes that underlie the formation of  mountains. These processes are associated with large-scale movements of the Earth's crust (tectonic plates). 1] Folding ,  faulting ,  volcanic activity ,  igneous intrusion  and  metamorphism  can all be parts of the  orogenic process  of mountain building. 2]The formation of mountains is not necessarily related to the  geological structures  found on it . 3 ] The understanding of specific landscape features in terms of the underlying tectonic processes is called  tectonic geomorphology , and the study of geologically young or ongoing processes is called  neotectonics . 4] From the late 19th century until its replacement by  plate tectonics  in the 1960s  geosyncline theory  was used to explain much mountain-building .

3. TYPES OF MOUNTAINS Volcanic: Folded: Dome: Fault-Block With a partner, predict how each mountain is formed.

4. TYPES OF MOUNTAINS Volcanic: Shield and composite; magma rises from asthenosphere and breaks through the surface of Earth

5. Fault-block: normal faulting and tension

6. Folded: reverse faults and compression

7. Dome: Magma rises through the mantle but does not break through the surface.
