There are several ways. It depends on what sort of mountain your talking about.

Mountains form due to the movement of tectonic plates under the earths crust. for example there is a compresional plate boundary where the plates move together. --><--

This will form a cone mountain/volcano. Mountains can also form from erosion or water. If a stream is created, then after years it will disintegrate dirt and could leave a higher mound, which over a large amount of time, could create a mountain.

at convergent boundaries two plates move toward each other, and, if they have the same density, they will crumple together making mountains
