Those landforms which have a height of 900 metres or more above sea level are called mountains.

Mountains have been dividedinto four on the basis of their origin.
MOUNTAINS
Fold Mountains
Block Mountains
Relict Mountains
Volcanic Mountains

FOLD MOUNTAINS Most of the mountains we see today are
fold mountains. They are higher when comparedto othermountains. Eg. Mt. Everest

Block mountains The block mountains are formed as a
result of uplift by land forms due to faulting.
Eg: Black forest

Relict mountain Due of the different weathering processes of prolonged
duration, the rocks that are not very resistant get disintegratedand only those resistant part remain. These mountains are calledrelict mountains. Eg: The Aravalli ranges and Nilgiris in India.

Volcanic mountainsVolcanic mountains are caused when molten rock
flows out onto the earth is surface through fissures that arecaused due to the movement of plates.
Eg: Mt. Fujiyama in Japan
