However , there are different types of mountains ,one  type is called a fold mountain, which is formed by the earths land  folding on top of each other  to create a mountain.  There are also more mountain types of one being a block Mountain caused by when a slab of line breaks of the Earth and is pushed together by tectonic plates and pulled apart.
