Volcanoes are formed when a plate is pushed below another plate, or at a mid-ocean ridge or hot spot. Fold mountains occur when two plates collides. Block mountains are caused by faults in the crust a seam where rocks can move past each other. When rocks on one side of a fault rise relative to the other, it can form a mountain. The colder climate on mountains affects the plants and animals residing on mountains. A particular set of plants and animals tend to be adapted to a relatively narrow range of climate.
