What to Focus On

  • Geomorphology is the scientific study of landforms.

  • Mountains, plateaus, and plains are the major landforms.
  • Mountains rise considerably above the surrounding land.
  • Orogenesis is mountain building.
  • Mountains are classified into fold, block, and residual mountains.
  • Fold mountains are formed by horizontal crustal movements.
  • Anticlines are the upward folds and synclines are the downward folds.
  • Young fold mountains are high and rugged.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All mountains are formed in the same way.

Fold mountains are created by vertical movement of the crust.
