Let’s look at each picture and match it to the correct type of mountain from the list:
Block Mountain, Volcanic mountain, Fold mountain
---
First picture (top):
This shows layers of rock that are bent or wavy — like when you push a rug from both ends and it wrinkles. That’s how
fold mountains form — when tectonic plates collide and squeeze the land upward in folds.
→ So this is a
Fold mountain
---
Second picture (middle):
This shows blocks of land moving up and down along cracks (faults). One block goes up while others go down. This is called faulting, and it creates
block mountains.
→ So this is a
Block Mountain
---
Third picture (bottom):
This shows lava erupting from underground, building up a cone-shaped mountain with smoke and fire. That’s clearly a volcano!
→ So this is a
Volcanic mountain
---
Final Answer:
Top: Fold mountain
Middle: Block Mountain
Bottom: Volcanic mountain
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of types of mountains worksheet.
