Earthquakes. Usually small and unnoticeable ones.
Well, actually , its the cracks in the ground that the earthquakes make, then if they accidentaly hit each other, they will form a mountain.
Take the question somewhat seriously please. If you are interested in plate tectonics you know that the continents and sub-ocean plates are in motion. These can cause earthquakes, but that does not cause the mountain to form, just a symptom. For instance the Indian sub-continent is pushing northward into Asia and meeting resistance. The result is uplift and the Himalayan Mountains are formed and still growing. Some mountains are formed when volcanic activity develops as in the Hawaiian Islands.

When plates push together compression causes the ground to form what mountain?
stromboli mountains
Do mountain breezes form during the day or night?
Mountain breezes typically form during the night. As the sun sets, the air in the valley cools more quickly than the air on the mountain, creating a temperature difference. This temperature difference causes the air to flow from the mountain down into the valley, creating a mountain breeze.
Is a mountain convergent divergent or transform?
A mountain is typically formed at convergent boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide. This collision causes intense pressure that forces the Earth's crust to uplift and form mountain ranges.
What causes mountains ranges to form?
Mountain ranges form through tectonic processes such as plate tectonics, where the movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates causes rock to be pushed upwards and folded. This leads to the accumulation of material that eventually forms mountain ranges through processes like folding, faulting, and volcanic activity. Erosion and other geological forces also play a role in shaping mountain ranges over time.
What causes folded mountains to form?
Folded mountains form when tectonic plate movement causes compression and folding of the Earth's crust. This compression leads to the bending and buckling of rock layers, creating the distinctive folded structures seen in mountain ranges like the Himalayas. Over time, erosion may expose these folded layers, revealing the mountain's geological history.
What can form when a compression squeezes rocks at a convergent place boundary?
Mountains
