what is the difference between fold mountains,block mountains and residual mountains?
The difference between fold mountain, block mountain and residual mountain is as follows :
| Fold Mountains | Block Mountains | Residual Mountains |
| These mountains are formed when two plates collide with each other and wave like formation occurs in the tectonic plates. | These Mountains are formed due to movement across faults in the Earth's crust, it happens when rocks on one side of a fault rise relative to the other. | These mountains are formed when weathering and erosion for a long time lowers downs the height of an existing mountain. |
