Notes:
Volcanic mountains are only one type of mountain formed from plate movement. While they are formed by subduction, other mountain ranges are formed by the collision of plates. Fault block mountains, like these in Grand Teton National Park, occur in places where the earth's crust has been broken up into large blocks by faulting. When crustal movement occurs from plate tectonics, some of the blocks are lifted or tilted while others sink.
