What geological forces might be responsible for this range of mountains?

Mountains are built by tectonic processes that cause portions of the Earth's crust to rise. These processes are fueled by the escape of heat from the interior of the Earth, causing crustal uplift by volcanic activity and by movement along faults that, in turn, is responsible for the formation of mountains.
