Answer:

Briefly, mountains are created by the movement of the Earths plates resulting in the folding and faulting of rock.This is due to the collision and/or subduction of plates.

Volcanoes are the result of magma from the Earths mantle being ejected to the surface of the earth’s crust. Types of volcanoes include: shield volcanoes, composite cones, cinder cones, all the result of pyroclastic eruption and flow.
