Fold Mountains- Fold mountains are the most common type of of mountains. The world's Largest mountain ranges are fold mountains.
These are formed when the plates collide against each other forming folds on Earth's surface. The Upward folds are known as anticlines, and the downward fold are known as Synclines. The Himalayan mountains in Asia, The Alps in Europe, The Andes in South America and The Rockies in North America are some young fold mountains.
Fault block Mountain- The place where two tectonic plates meet forms a weak line called a fault line. As the name suggests fault block mountains or block mountains are formed when large blocks of rocks move up or down at faults in Earth's Surface.
Volcanic mountains-as rocks deep inside the earth melt, they form magma. The movement of the magma and the pressure from the gases in the magma trigger an eruption through an opening or vent.This is called volcanic eruption. Magma is called lava when it flows out of the Earth's crust. Overtime, the rocks and lava cool and pile upon the the surface to form volcanic mountains.
