Mountains came from flat land. Flat land came from Submerged areas. Mountains also originated from small islands.

Here are some of the ways that mountains form:
Two plates can press against each other until the land is lifted and folded over itself.
One plate can push on top of another one. As one plate slides downward into the earth, it begins to melt. The melted rock rushes upward along cracks and weak spots, bursting out as fiery volcanoes. You can see a huge “ring of fire” where volcanoes circle the Pacific Ocean.
Plates can stretch until they crack and slide, forming fault-block mountains.
In the ocean, great underwater mountains are formed when plates spread away from one another, and melted rock pushes up through the gap.
