There are no mountains at the North Pole - the 'land' at the North Pole is all under water. There is only surface ice.

What are the types of mountains?
There are three main types of mountains. block mountains formed by sections of the earth's crust that have been tilted or lifted up by the movement of two close fault lines, large cracks in the earth's surface. These are usually smaller than other types of mountains and are often separated by valleys. Volcanic mountains are formed by magma that is pushed out of the earth through a crack or weak place in the earth's crust. Fold mountains are formed when rock is "squeezed" together. When plates collide, the rock along the edges crumples, creating a huge zig-zag pattern in layers of the earth's crust. Upwarped mountains are formed when magma pushes up the earth's crust without breaking the surface. This creates a rounded mountain that gently slopes toward the surrounding land.
What would happen if EM waves did not come to earth from the sun?
The earth would be a cold, dark place. This would be the situation if the sun became a black hole, for example.
Why do mountains often occur thousands of km long?
They were pushed up from the earth underneath in the ages of the Continental drift. Two masses of land colliding together will make for extra terrain to seep up through the cracks forming mountains
Where does a glacier begin?
Glaciers formed during the ice age when earth was so cold that water in the coldest places just became frozen mountains, called icebergs.
What would happen if more of the suns heat became trapped in earth's atmosphere and less heat was released into space would the earth get hotter or colder?
If more of the sun's heat became trapped, it would be like putting a heavy blanket over the Earth. Everything would become warmer.
What changes on Earth's surface do you think will happen next?
There will be more mountains and volcanoes
What would happen if the earth's orbit suddenly became smaller?
The earth's water would evaporate.
Do mountains keep the earth stable from shakes for example during earthquakes?
No ,mountains do not keep earth from shaking ,greatest earthquakes happen around the mountains like in Himalayas also mountains are created by the movement of the tectonic plates which create earthquakes.Just because the mountains are themselves stabilized by isostacy does not mean that the mountains stabilize the earth or the crust by isostacy. Prof David A Young.No self respecting geologists would claim that mountains keep earth from shaking.
Earth's period of rotation became faster what would happen on?
23,934 hours
What might happen if the radiation balance became unequal?
The earth would end
Why do mountains move?
Mountains move by the plates under the earth moving. When plates move, often tsunamis and earthquakes happen. Mountains move 1 cm per year when the plates move!
What is erosion where does it happen how does it happen?
Erosion is the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water,wind, etc. Erosion happens mostly on mountains.
What happen when plate on earth crust push together?
under land: Mountains, earthquakes, tsunamis, ....Look up the 'wilson cycle'
What does movement of the earth's crust in which very large portions of rock metamorphose usually result in?
earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains
What purpose did the mountains serve in the Middle East?
True. Mountain move land to certain degree. Movement of crust create mountains.What suddenly all mountains on earth wiped out. What you think will happen?
How many mountains are there on earth?
There are no exact amount if mountains on Earth. Some are even forming now, so you wouldn't now how much mountains there are on Earth.
How is a depositonal mountain different from an erosional mountain?
Depositonal Mountains are formed by accumulation of rocks on the earth's surface, these materials may be volcanic or carried by wind or glaciers. Esrosional Mountains(or Residual Mountains) are mountains that were carved out by extensive erosion, usually from a plateau.
