Domed Mountains

Domed Mountain-the result of a large amount of melted rock pushing up under Earth's crust. THere is little folding or faulting but many peaks and valleys.

EXAMPLES:

Torres del Paine-formed near a convergetn plate boundary, result of subduction








El Capitan-formed near a convergent plate boundary, result of subduction
