Earth's mountains form and erode from erupting and by shifting plates.
What else can I help you with?
What type of mountains are the adirondack mountains?
These are upwarped mountains. They form when blocks of Earth's crust are pushed up by forces within Earth. Over time, the soil and sedimentary rocks at the top of Earth's crust erode, exposing the hard, crystalline rock underneath. As these rocks erode, they form the peaks and ridges.
Can rivers move mountains?
They can erode mountains.
How are the mountains form?
earth quakes
Why are the largest mountains the youngest mountains?
the younger the mountains have not yet eroded.the mountains don't erode until they are old
How do upwarp mountains form?
Upwarped Mountains form when forces inside Earth push up the crust.
How are residual mountains form?
Residual mountains are formed by the plates in the earth moving
When three or more cirques erode into a mountain summit they form a?
When three or more cirques erode into a mountain summit, they form a horn. This distinctive landform is characterized by steep, sharp peaks, often seen in famous mountains like the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps.
What are two ways in which glaciers erode earth's suface?
Glaciers erode Earth's surface through abrasion, where the ice and sediments grind against the rock, wearing it down. They also erode through plucking, where the glacier freezes onto rock and plucks or pulls it away as the glacier moves.
What can water damage?
it damages metal by rusting it Water in its purest form can dissolve rocks and minerals. It can erode mountains and cut through solid rock.
What are forces that erode mountains are called constructive or destructive forces?
constuctive
What is up warp?
Upwarped mountains are mountains that form when forces inside Earth push up the crust.
Why did a volcano like Olympus Mons form on Mars but not on Earth?
Excellent question, and perhaps someday we'll learn that. We do know that large volcanoes do form on Earth, but on Earth the forces of wind and water can erode the mountains and wear them down. On Mars, there is very little atmosphere, and very little water, so there's not much weathering.
