Types of mountains and how they are formed

Показать описание
Mountains can form through folding, volcanism, and faulting.
Folded mountains form when rock layers are squeezed together and are pushed upward.
Many folded mountains occur at convergent boundaries where continental crust collide
The Himalayas stretch through the borders of China, Nepal, India, and Pakistan is the most towering mountain range on Earth,
Volcanic mountains are created when melted rock erupts onto the earth’s surface. Many volcanic mountains occur at convergent boundaries. Most of the active volcanoes on earth are concentrated around the edge of the pacific ocean.
Fault block mountains form when tension causes the lithosphere to break into normal faults.
At normal faults, the lithosphere drops down. The pieces left standing form fault-block mountains.

Nice Video. I like the minimalistic approach of the video. Saved me a lot of time trying to figure out again what was taught to me at school.
