magma pushes up against the crust without ever breaking through.
these mountains also form along convergent boundaries where one plate subducts, or slides under, the other plate.
a collision creates multiple rows of mountains like ridges appearing when pushing a tablecloth from the edge of the table.
mountains form when the crust breaks up into large pieces along faults.
the sierra nevada mountains in california are an example of these steep and jagged mountains.

the himalayan mountain range, formed when the indian plate moved northward into the eurasian plate, are examples of these mountains.
- Fold mountains: The Himalayan Mountain range is formed when the Indian Plate moved northward into the Eurasian Plate. This is characteristic of fold mountains which form at convergent boundaries when two plates press head - on against one another.
- Dome mountains: Enchanted Rock in Texas is an example of dome mountains. Dome mountains are formed when magma pushes up against the crust without ever breaking through.
- Fault - block mountains: The Sierra Nevada mountains in California are an example of fault - block mountains. Fault - block mountains form when the crust breaks up into large pieces along faults.
- Volcanic mountains: These mountains may sometimes be recognized because they form craters (like half of a ball). Volcanic mountains are formed from volcanic activity.
