Best Answer

Mountains become steep through a combination of tectonic forces, erosion, and other geologic processes. Tectonic movements can uplift large landmasses, creating steep slopes. Erosion by rivers, glaciers, and other natural processes can further sculpt mountains into steep terrain over time.
