1.The Tectonic plates are always moving.One day they separate.

2. The separation leaves some land below.The lava pushes the land below the gap created by the 

separation.

3.When lava pushes the land below the gap  upward a big cone is formed.

4.To make the the mountain not go too high, gravity pushes it downward.

5.With lava pushing it upward and gravity pushing it downward the mountain stays balanced

and this is how a mountain is formed.

Fun Fact-Tectonic plates move up to an inch per year.
