Alps

Volcanic Mountains like Hawaii

Try Again!

This is a volcano and is formed over hot spots, convergent boundaries,

and divergent boundaries

Congratulations!

Folded mountains like the Himalayas and Appalachian are formed where two continental

plates converge or collide

Next Question

Which mountains form when two ocean plates collide?

A dome mountain like the Black Hills or Adirondack

An Island Arc like the Philippines, Japan, or

Aleutian Islands

Click on the correct image below

Try Again!

These are dome mountains and form when magma pushes

up layers of rock without erupting onto

the surface. These mountains form

wherever there is volcanic activity.

Congratulations!Island Arcs like the Philippines, Japan, and the Aleutian

Islands form where two ocean

plates collide.

Next Question

Which mountain forms when a continental and oceanic

plate collide?

A Coastal Mountain like the Cascade Mountain

Range

Congratulations!Coastal mountains form where ocean plates collide with continental plates.

An example of these in our country are

the Cascade Mountains in the

Pacific North West

Next Question

Which mountain is formed when sections of rock are

uplifted?

Fault-block mountain like the Teton’s or Sierra

Nevada's

A volcano like Mt. Vesuvius

This is a volcano and is formed over

hot spots, convergent

boundaries, and divergent

boundaries

Back

Congratulations!

Fault block mountains form at

normal faults where chunks of rock are pushed up along

fault lines creating mountains like the Sierra Nevada’s or

Teton Mountain RangeNext

Question

Which type of mountains form over a

hot spot?

A volcano like Hawaii or Yellowstone

A dome mountain like the Black Hills or Adirondack

Mts.

These are dome mountains and form when magma pushes

up layers of rock without erupting onto

the surface. These mountains form

wherever there is volcanic activity.

Back

Congratulations!

Volcanic activity is sometimes caused by hot spots. These areas

are thought to exist because of unusually

hot places in the mantle that melt the crust above, creating

areas of volcanic activity like

Yellowstone, Hawaii, and about 40 other locations around the

globe.Next

Question

Which mountain form when two ocean plates

diverge?

Folded mountains like the Himalayas, Rockies or

Appalachian

Under water volcanoes like the Mid-Atlantic

Ridge

Appalachian are formed where two continental plates converge or collide

Back

Congratulations!

Submarine or underwater volcanoes

like the mid-ocean ridge form where two ocean plates are separating.

New ocean crust is formed in these areas. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge

runs down the center of the Atlantic ocean and is

the longest mountain chain in the world. Next
