Question

What leads to the formation and shaping of mountains?

• A. Internal forces only
• B. External forces only
• C. Both internal and external forces
• D. Volcanic eruptions only

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both internal and external forces

The mountains are formed and shaped due to both internal and external forces. The internal forces cause the upliftment of land as well as volcanic eruptions and external forces shape the mountains by erosion and deposition, which leads to physical features like sharp peaks or flat peaks.
