Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Volcanism can create mountains through localized events without necessarily increasing the regional crustal thickness. The material that forms these mountains includes scoria, ash, lava flows, debris flows, and mudslides. The size of these volcanic mountains can vary widely, from small cinder cones to large shield and composite volcanoes. Therefore, all the provided options are correct descriptions of mountains created by volcanism.
