Discuss classification mountains based on their periods and mode of origin
Mountains are formed due to large scale movements of the earth's crust and the collision of the tectonic plates. Over the history of earth - 9 such movements have taken plates which have resulted in formation of large mountains and mountain ranges.
On the basis of of their mode of origin, mountains are classified into 2 broad categories:
Original or Tectonic Mountains: These mountains are formed due to larege scale movements in the tectonic plates and the resulting collision and folding of plates. These mountains are further classified into Block mountains, Fold Mountains and Volcanic Mountains.
-
Volcanic Mountains:
- These mountains are formed due to collision of tectonic plates and movement along the plate boundaries which erupt to formed mountains i.e volcanic activity results in formation of these mountains
- Molten lava, volcanic bombs, cinders, ashes, dust and liquid mudare tha main components of the mountains
- Most important types of Volcanic Mountains are : Composite cones or Stratovolcanoes and Shield Volcanoes.
- Mount Fiji and Khilimanjaro are Stratovolcanoes while Mauna Loa on Hawaii is a Shield Volcano.
-
They are common in the Circum-Pacific belt.
-
Fold Mountains:
- These are formed due to large scale collision of tectonic plates which results in subduction and folding to form mountains
- Himalaya, Rockies, Andes, Balkan Mountains, Jura, Zagros mountains are some examples
-
Block Mountains:
- These are formed When a fault block is raised or tilted.
- Higher blocks are called horsts and troughs are called grabens
- Examples include Vindhya Range, Satpura Range, Sierra Nevada Range, Rhila Rhodope mountain range etc.
Residual Mountains:
- Residual mountains are formed as a result of erosion of an existing elevated area. These are the remnants of old fold mountains derived as a result of denudation (strip of covering).
- Examples include the Aravalli Range, Nilgiri Mountains, Eastern and Western Ghats.
On the basis of of their period of origin, mountains are classified into 3 broad categories:
Since the formation of earth nine very major mountain movements have taken place. However we will mostly discuss only about the most recent 3 movements and the mountain ranges.
- Precambrian Mountains were formed during the pre-cambrian period which extended for 4 billion years. They were subjected to upheaval, denundation and metamorphosis due to which they now appear like residual mountains. Examples include Laurentian Mountains
- Caledonian Mountains (430 million years and 380 million years ago ) were formed due to large scaled tectonic movements. Examples include Appalachians, Aravallis, Mahadeo
- Hercynian Mountains (approximately 340 million years and 225 million years ago ) include ranges like Ural Mountains .
- Alpine Mountains (65 million years to 7 million years ago) are the most recent formations and are therefore slightly rugged. Examples include rockies, Alpine, Himalayas etc.

Can anyone take admission in graduation after 10th
Hello,
In order to pursue graduation, it's mandatory to pass class 12th from a recognized board, for example you may pursue diploma courses after 10th but they aren't equivalent to graduate degree, let's say you pursue diploma in engineering and after completion of the course you can pursue BTech through lateral entry, BTech is a graduate degree, there are many courses such as BPP offered by IGNOU which is for six months duration for candidates who don't have 10+2 qualification but want to pursue graduation though you may pursue this course, but it's always recommended to follow a traditional path in the sense that if you plan to pursue higher studies or even government jobs if that requires a graduation then it's graduate degree only, also in many courses candidates who haven't followed the traditional route of 10+2 qualification aren't allowed to pursue the graduate course as prescribed by the authority.
I got 91.2%age in 10th , 75.2%age in 12th and 9.1 cgpa in graduation, If I score high about 99+ in CAT ; Can I get into IIM B or due to my 12th low marks I cant?
