Fold mountains are mountains formed mainly by the effects of folding on layers within the upper part of the Earths crust. In the time before either plate tectonic theory developed, or the internal architecture of thrust belts became well understood, the term was used for most mountain belts, such as the Himalayas. volcanic mountains or A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in the surface or crust of the Earth or a planetary mass object, which allows hot lava, volcanic ash and gases to escape from the magma chamber below the surface. erosion volcanic mountains - these are single mountains or a group of mountains that have been formed by the erosion of streams. Fault-block mountains Fault-block mountains often result from rifting, another indicator of tensional tectonic forces. These can be small or form extensive rift valley systems, such as the East African Rift zone. Death Valley in California is a smaller example. Two types of block mountains are lifted and sloped. Lifted type block mountains have two steep sides exposing both sides scarps, leading to the horst and graben terrain seen in northern Europe, including the Upper Rhine valley, a graben between two horsts, the Vosges mountains (in France) and Black Forest (in Germany). Another graben is the basin of the Narmada River in India, between the Vindhya MT. MANAPHAG (MT. PAN DE AZUCAR)/TRAVERSE Pan de Azucar Island, Concepcion, Iloilo Entry point: Brgy.
