How are volcanic mountains formed? Give examples.

Solution

Volcanic mountains are formed as a result of volcanic activities on the surface of the Earth. The magma inside the Earth erupts out as lava through the cracks on the Earth's surface. This cools down repeatedly to form volcanic mountains.

Example: Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Fujiyama.
