Compare and contrast mountains and volcanoes.  (1 point)

Responses

Both mountains and volcanoes are formed by the same process of movement of tectonic plates.  However, volcanoes can grow to be much higher than mountains because they also grow from pockets of magma that rise up during eruptions.

One point to consider in comparing and contrasting mountains and volcanoes is their formation process. Both mountains and volcanoes are formed due to the movement of tectonic plates, however, volcanoes also grow from pockets of magma that rise up during eruptions. This process allows volcanoes to potentially grow much higher in elevation than mountains. Additionally, the outward appearance of mountains and volcanoes may be similar, but their formation processes set them apart. Overall, while both geological formations share similarities, their differences in formation processes and potential heights distinguish them from each other.
