Volcanic activity on Earth's mountain ranges is caused by Mid Ocean Ridge Volcano due to plate tectonics, where magma solidifies into igneous rocks upon cooling, classified as volcanic rocks if cooled on the surface and plutonic rocks if cooled in the crust.
Different land forms are created when lava cools, with extrusive forms like shield and composite volcanoes on the surface, and intrusive forms like Betho, Lacolithus, lepo nith phacoliths, seals, and Dykes forming in the interior, each with unique characteristics based on their cooling and erosion processes.
