Upwarped mountains are generally the result of broad arching of the crust or sometimes great vertical displacement along a highangle fault. The Black Hills in South Dakota and the Adirondack Mountains in New York are upwarped mountain ranges. Volcanic mountains are the accumulations of large amounts of volcanic lavas and pyroclastic material around the volcanic vent, such as seamounts and stratovolcanoes. The Hawaiian and Aleutian Islands are volcanic mountains. Fault-block mountains result from tensional stress.
The Hawaiian Islands are part of the Emporer Seamounts. This is a chain of underwater (most of it) mountains under the ocean. It is caused by two things. One, there is a plume in the mantle that is continuously welling up from below.Two, the pacific plate rides over this plume.he big island of Hawaii is the youngest of all the Hawaiian islands. Many 1000's of years from now a new island southeast of the big island will form above the ocean's surface. At present it is growing under the oceans surface. Source(s):
