Mountains can be created by two processes on our planet. Some mountains owe their origin to vertical movements ... This model suggests that now and building involves three stages. The first stage involves the accumulation of sediments. In the second stage, tectonic collision causes rock deformation and crustal uplift.

Stage 1: Crust initially solidified as granitic plateaus and basaltic basins ... Where crust is thick (mountains), it sinks into the fluid layer until bouyancy provides support. Where crust is thin (oceans), fluid wells up underneath.

In summary, mountain belts need some sediemnt to make the mountains. The accumulation stage is when that happens. Mountain Belt Evolution; ... This model has three major stages: 1) the accumulation stage, 2) the orogenic stage, and 3) the uplift and block-faulting stage. The accumulation stage involves the accumulation of...

Accumulation. Many mountains contain sequences of sedimentary and volcanic rocks that reach thicknesses of 2,000 to 3,000 meters. Most of this material was deposited in a passive or active continental marine environment during the accumulation stage.
