\nFold mountains are formed when tectonic forces compress layers of rock, causing them to buckle and fold. The Alps in Europe, the Andes in South America, and the Rockies in North America are all major mountain ranges formed by folding. Mount Fuji, located in Japan, is not a fold mountain; it is a stratovolcano (composite volcano), formed by successive layers of volcanic ash and lava.
\n<\/section>\n
\nMountains are formed through various geological processes, including folding, faulting, and volcanism. Fold mountains are a result of crustal compression.
\n<\/section>\n
\nOther types of mountains include fault-block mountains (formed by faulting and uplift), volcanic mountains (formed by volcanic activity), and dome mountains (formed by upward pushing magma). Mt. Fuji is an active volcano and a prominent example of a volcanic mountain.
