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.
If you are not standing on a mountain, you are probably looking at one. Some of Hawaii's mountains are even quite high. Mauna Kea and Mauna Lo â¦ a on the 'Big Island' of Hawaii both come in at a little under 14000ft, which is less than 1000ft shorter than the highest mountains in the lower 48 states.aleakala on Maui comes in at a hair over 10000ft, and is believed to have once been as high as 15000ft (or more) before the top was eroded away by wind, water, and glaciers. Other mountains are considerably shorter than these. But none of the larger islands is exactly flat.
