What is the most common type of mountain?

The most common type of mountain is the seamount.Therre are more of them  on the bottom of the sea than regular mountains on the surface of the earth.So,we regular folk don't see them because we can't afford the sub fare.

Mt Mckinley has the greatest rise from surrounding plain to peak, I think.  Mt Everest is the highest.

Mt. Elbrus\n\nElbrus has two summits, the east summit being the lower of the two at 5,621 meters, both of which are dominant volcanic domes.

It's because the tops of mountains has colder temperature than the bottom, that warm air rise up from the earth's heat to the air where they condense, form into clouds around the tip of the mountain is the land which is most coldest. At that position, it is a spot where clouds can be seen most often.

please do not do this for a science project.  too common.  but if you really want to know...most ppl get a small coke bottle and mould clay around it to get the mountain shape.

This depends a bit on what we call a "mountain range". However;\nThe big ranges (Andes, Himalaya, Alps etc) are all very young, most uplift in the past 30 million years and much in the past 3-5my\nThe mountain belt including the Scandinavian peninsula, the Scottish Highlands, English Lake District and Wales were part of an "Andean" type range about 400my ago.  The Apalachians in the US are actually part of the same chain, "broken off" so to speak.\n\nSome parts of the Scottish Highlands, in the north west, were formed in the core of a much older range, up to 2,500my, but it is debatable whether you can call that a "mountain range".\n\nThe very ancient granites and gneisses (>4,000my) in Canada, Australia, Southern Africa and Greenland were likewise probably part of a mountain building episode, though the Plate Tectonics that formed later mountains probably hadn't kicked in then.  And these days, those areas are mostly rather level and eroded.  The South Africa/Swaziland border where some of these rocks are found is pretty rugged, but whether you could call it a "mountain range" is again debatable.\n\nPart of the problem is that there are ancient rocks within some very young mountain ranges - the rocks are old but the uplift forming the mountains is recent.\n\nIf we call a mountain range a "linear feature of land with steep and rugged terrain significantly higher than the land either side" , and an old range is one that has always been relatively high, not recently pushed up, then we need to find such a feature made of Pre-Cambrian rocks to meet the definition of "oldest mountain range".\n\nOff the top of my head, I'd plump for parts of the Appalachians.  The main range is "only" a few hundred milion years old, but the Pre-Cambrian blocks within were probably standing as elevated mountain blocks when the plate collision forming the range began.  So there has been an elevated upland in that area for perhaps a billion years.

A mountain is an elevation in the earth's surface. The elevation, or altitude, of a mountain is given as the height of the summit above sea level. Mountains are much bigger than hills. Most of the time they are made up elongated ranges. It is rare when a mountain stands alone.\n\nWhat is the difference between tallest and highest? Tallest: the top is the furthest away from the base. Highest: the top is the furthest away from sea level. There are three ways of measuring the height of a mountain. So which mountain is the tallest? One way to measure a mountain is by measuring from sea level. The second way is by measuring from base to peak. The third way is by measuring the distance from the center of the earth to the peak of the mountain.\n\nMt. Everest, on the Nepal-Tibet border in the Himalayas, is the highest mountain on earth. It is about 8,850 meters above sea level. height was confirmed in December 1983 during a surveillance mission by the space shuttle Columbia. Mauna Kea, or "White Mountain"a volcano of the "Big Island" of Hawaii, is the tallest mountain on earth. It measure about 10,200 meters from base to summit. Chimborazo is a volcano in the Andes of Ecuador. It measures about 6,310 meters above sea level. When height is measured from the center of the earth, Chimborazo is tallest since it is located nearly on the equator, where the earth bulges the most.

YES IT IS TRUE THAT THE MOUNTAINS YOU HAVE MENTIONED ABOVE HAVE A GREAT MAGNETIC POWER. THIS HAS A SIMPLE REASON.\nA MOUNTAIN CONTAINS LOTS OF METALS AND NATURAL MAGNETS.\nTHE MAGNETIC AREA CAN BE SEEN WITH A CAMERA WHICH SEES MAGNETIC FIELDS.

That's not really easy to answer, as the older mountains get, the more they diminish and blend with the surrounding land.  So many places where you see large, rolling hills or even flat land may have once been mountains.  If you do a Google search, you will find at least three different mountain ranges that people say are the oldest (Blue Ridge Mts. in Georgia, some Indian mountains, and the above-mentioned Australian mountains).  I would personally say that they're all wrong, and the oldest mountains are probably something very unimpressive that we don't even call mountains.

There are about 450 mountain peaks over 7000 meters (430 peaks over 23,000 feet) tall. Most of these are located in the following mountain ranges: Himalaya, Karakoram, Kunlun, Hindu Kush, Hengduan, Pamir, Tanggula, Nyain'a. All of these ranges are in Asia, specifically in Nepal, China, India, Pakistan, Bhutan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.\n\nIn fact, the tallest mountain peak outside of Asia is Aconcagua in Argentina that is 6959 meters (22,831 feet). That puts it at about 485th of the world's tallest peaks. \n\nThe highest peak in the whole world is Mount Everest at 8850 feet.

Mount Elbrus is the highest mountain in Europe. It is part of the Ural mountains which are considered to be the border between Europe and Asia. \n\nCheck out this link for more info :-)\nhttp://www.elbrus.org.uk/

Varied.  There are mountains, and there are sandy plains.  There are raging volcanos, and quiet deserts, fertile expanses, and deep unexplored crevices.

There is no "why" to mountains -- but there is a "how did they come about" :)\n\nPlate tectonics.  The earth's crust is made up of many plates that float around on underground magma like icebergs on the ocean.  These plates bump up against each other, and when they do, often one gets pushed under the other -- raising the latter one (in whole or in part), and creating mountain ranges.  That the tallest mountain range in the world (the Himalayas) exists at the plate boundary where India is ramming into the Asian mainland should come as no surprise :)

Mount Everest. Its summit ridge marks the border between Nepal and China. The mountain is approximately 8,848 m (29,028 feet) high. \n\nThe mountain K2 comes in second at 8,611 m (28,251 feet) high.

I think it's.... in fact I'm certain it's Blue Mountain or Cold Mountain by Allessandro Jordorowsky.\n\nHe also did EL TOPO.
