Yes- two plates collide, one goes down the other 'up' into a mountain. Or they can collide and fold together mutually going up- imagine paper in your fist as you tighten your hand.
In addition, mountains can be old/ dominate / active volcanoes (molten lava rising up to the surface).

Mountains are almost the same as volcanoes.They are made by two colliding or passing plates coming together and pushing up rock.

Why yes they are. When the plates crush together, they force rock up, and this creates the mountains.

Plate tectonics and volcanic activity.

Yes. Mountains are formed when two convergent (destructive) plate boundarys collide. Subduction also normally occurs.

yes
when plate tectonics come together the pressure builds and they cave upwards and over a long period of time they eventually form mountains
hope i helped :))

yes sometimes, as well as products of volcano's too sometimes. Some were made by comets and/or meteors crashing into the earth, look at meteor crater in Arizona, for example. It is surrounded by mountains in a huge crater and it is not the only one.

LA, Yes, that's what i was told in science class.

That, glacial activity and volcanic activity and erosion.
