weathering reduce the height of mountains through million of years because of weathering like wind, rain and people because its like they are migrating from one place to other.
Actually, weathering does not reduce the height of a mountain...erosion does. The rate of mountain erosion depends on the nature of the mountain material rate of weathering and the climate primarily. Some disappear in thousands of years or less while other take millions of years to go.If orogenic-isostatic uplift is faster than the weathering/erosion rate, then there will be mountain growth instead of height loss.(c) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070807161730AAtVNtr@maybdeleon.follow me )Rate This Answer
by the wind over millliion of years and it breaks down
Yes
According to me the same phenomenon that have lead to the current height of the Himalayas. The crusts are continuously pushing each other leading to the increase in height of the mountains.
Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soil, and minerals. Mountains are broken down by harsh weather and turned into stone, sand, and eventually soil.

Weathering and erosion
The temperature of the atmosphere reduces with height. Mountains are high, thus cooler.

Yes

Height from sea level.
no!,it will not affect heigh!
The Appalachian Mountains are millions of years older than the Rocky Mountains. Geologists believe the Appalachian Mountains once had active volcanoes because of the types of rocks found but these went extinct long ago. Because of erosion, wind, and time, the Appalachian Mountains are now more rounded and less in height.
The Appalachian Mountains are belived to have been the highest mountains on earth roughfly 466 million years ago. The mountains are divided onto a series of ranges, with the individual mountains averaginf from a height of 3,000 feet (900 m). The highest of the group is Mount Mitchell at a height of 6,684 feet, (2,037 m)
