Do volcanoes and mountains have differences?

Question

i mean is there any difference between the two.?

Answer 1

Yes!

Answer 2

Yes.  A volcano erupts or has erupted previously.  A non-volcanic mountain has never erupted.

There are five different types of mountains and they are categorized based on the way they are formed.  Those types are:

Dome Mountains

Fold Mountains

Fault-block Mountains

Volcanic Mountains

Plateau Mountains

As you can see one of the types of mountains is formed by a volcano.

Answer 3

Yes, of course.

MOUNTAINS are highlands which do not erupt or spew lava. It has a pointed top which volcanoes doesn't have.

VOLCANOES are landforms which spew lava and erupt. It has a hole on the top (crater).

I conclude that volcanoes and mountains are both highlands but volcanoes have craters while mountains doesn't. :-)

I hope this resolves your question. Good Luck!! =)

Answer 4

Yes,there are plenty of differences but the main ones are:

1. The most obvious one is that volcanoes spew fire , lava and gases into the atmosphere while mountains do not.

2.Mountains are formed due to internal as well as external proceeses of the Earth while volcanoes are a result of internal process of pressure building up inside the Earth's crust due to magma.

Answer 5

most mountains started out as volcano's, mountains are formed when tectonic plate boundaries push up against a land mass which causes the land to crumble up and then it pushes the land up word this forms mountains and when they are new they are most likely volcanic.
