I am formed when heat and pressure build up and push magma through a weak spot in the crust of Earth. As the magma reaches the surface it becomes lava and eventually cools helping me add to my surface area and grow in size.

Volcanic Mountain
I am formed when pressures within Earth push layers of rock inward from opposite sides. This causes the layers to bend and become wavy. I look similar to towels stacked up and pushed up against a wall.

Folded Mountain
I form when cracks in the earth's crust force some materials of rock up and others down. Instead of the earth folding over, the earth's crust fractures (pulls apart)

Fault-Block Mountain
I am formed when tremendous forces within Earth push up part of Earth's crust. I have sharp peaks and ridges.
