what do you mean by MOUNTAINS ?
A mountain is any natural elevation of the earth surface. The mountains may have a small summit and a broad base. It is considerably higher than the surrounding area.

Mountains, plains, and buttes (like these) are all landforms. A landform is a feature on the Earth’s surface that is part of the terrain. Mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains are the four major types of landforms. Minor landforms include buttes, canyons, valleys, and basins
The surface is being lowered by the process of erosion and rebuilt by the process of deposition
The wearing away of the earth’s surface is called erosion.
External Processes (or) Exogenetic Processes The forces that act on the surface of the earth due to natural agents like running water, glacier, wind, waves, etc., are called External processes or Exogenetic processes. These external processes tear the landscape down into relatively low elevated plains.
A proven way to improve your internal processes is to think about a product or service that you provide from the perspective of a customer. Imagine that they are standing outside your organisation looking in at the various steps required to deliver the product or service to them.
Constructive forces include plate tectonics and deposition.
Heat convection inside Earth drives volcanoes and earthquakes that formed the oceans and the continents. Igneous rocks form when lava cools down. Plate tectonics and volcanoes form mountains. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller components like pebbles and dirt.

These external processes tear the landscape down into relatively low elevated plains and shapes the landform created by Endogenetic process.
Plate motion is caused by a combination of forces. Thermal energy from Earth’s interior drives plate motion in a process called convection. As plates move and interact along plate boundaries, forces like slab pull, ridge push, and friction also contribute to the process.
