Key Facts and Vocabulary
There five types of mountain:
Plateau mountain
Fold mountain
Volcanic mountain
Dome mountain
Fault-block mountain
A mountain is a landform that rises high above its sur-
roundings. Taller than a hill, it usually has steep slopes
and a rounded or sharp peak. Mountains are rarely
found alone. Groups of mountains are called ranges.
Lines of ranges form mountain belts
Some mountains were formed by the activity of
volcanoes; others were formed by movements
within Earth’s surface, or crust.
Most geologists classify a mountain as a
landform that rises at least 1,000 feet (300
meters) or more above its surrounding
area.
