Q1: How does a volcanic mountain form?

[Answer]

Almost all volcanoes are mountains (but many mountains don't contain active volcanoes).

Some volcanoes stand on their own and make tall conical mountains. We call these mountains volcanic cones.

Most volcanoes form part of mountain chains and simply rise up above the main ranges.

You will see more about these in section 7.
