There are three types of
mountains fold mountains,
volcanic mountains,
And fault and block
mountains.
Hills:
They usually have rounded
peaks. They have softer

Plateaus are areas of high

land with flat, level tops.
They are actually blocked
mountains also known as
table mountains.

a) By the pushing and

folding of plates
(fold mountains)
b) By volcanic activity
(volcanic
mountains)
c) By land rifting (fault

mountains)

Fold mountains
. Fold mountains are formed
when two convergent
continental plates push into
each other. The land is
pushed up in folds forming
mountains. The Himalayas,
Andes, and Alps are fold
mountains.
Volcanic mountains
Volcanic mountains are
created in different ways.
Lava is molten rock from
the mantle of the Earth.
Plate movement forces the

lava to come out through
cracks in the crust or
through volcanoes. When
this lava piles up, cools and
hardens, it forms rocks and
volcanic mountains. Some
islands are actually the
peaks of underwater
volcanoes.
Fault and block
mountains
Fault and block mountains
are formed when two plates
move apart and a block of
land is pushed up.
Hills
High areas of land which
are lower than 300 meters
are called hills. They
usually have rounded peaks.
They have softer edges and
a rolling appearance and are
usually covered with wild
flowers, trees, shrubs, and
grasses.
Plateaus
Plateaus are areas of high
land with flat, level tops.
They are actually block
mountains and are also
called table mountains
because of their appearance.
The teacher will read and
discuss the classification of
plateaus. Plateaus are
classified on the basis of
their surroundings and how
they are formed.

the highest plateaus of the
world. They are found
between mountains or
surrounded by mountains
on all sides. The Tibetan
plateaus, and the plateaus of
Bolivia, Peru, and Mexico
are intermundane plateaus.
Piedmont plateaus have
mountains on one side and a
plain or sea on the other.
The Colorado plateau is one
such plateau.
Continental plateaus are
usually found near coastal
plains, away from
mountains. The Deccan
Plateaus and the plateaus of
Spain and Australia are
continental plateaus.
The lava from repeated
volcanic plateaus. The lava
spreads over a large area
and hardens over time. The
plateau of Columbia is a
volcanic plateau.
a) Some plateaus are a
result of the erosion
of mountains by
Running water,
usually river and
b) Glaciers. Examples
of such plateaus are
the plateaus of
Russia, Brazil,
Finland, Greenland,
and Antarctica.
Wind erosion is another
cause of plateaus formation.
