What mountain range keeps moisture from reaching the Sahara desert?
The atlas mountains
How a mountain is changing?
The water cycle and how tiny rocks move with the flow of water so it keeps doing that.
How do upwarped mountains become sharp peaks?
I'm not sure I understand your "upwarped" description, but mountains have sharp peaks because of the fact that all the elements come from above. When rain, snow, or hail form, then they hit the top of the mountain first, and as they need to keep falling, they go to the edges, and slowly erode the edges so that they have a faster path to the ground (gravity). As the erosion keeps developing, it wears away more and more of the edges, making the peak into a cone shaped surface, which just keeps on getting thinner and thinner as the elements wear it away. 1.

What is the difference between artesian basin and artesian wells?
The difference between an artesian basin and artesian wells is that the basin keeps the water contained underground and the well has water in it that rises under its own pressure.

caffeine
What is the major mountains ranges of Canada?
A mountain range is a linear arrangement of mountain peaks and ridges surrounded by adjacent lower land or clearly separated from adjacent ranges by intervening valleys. The mountains of a range are commonly related to a single geological structure or rock formation. A group of related peaks with a circular rather than linear arrangement is called a massif. An array of mountain ranges, massifs and other topographic elements of related origin comprise a mountain system, and several systems a CORDILLERA. The Cordillera of western North America extends from Mexico to Alaska and includes about 20 mountain systems each composed of many mountain ranges. The Earth's major mountain systems lie along the margins of crustal plates where concentrated tectonic forces have caused uplift, deformation and igneous activity (see GEOLOGICAL PROCESSES; PLATE TECTONICS). Individual mountain ranges may be formed by volcanic eruptions or, more commonly, by differential EROSION of an uplifted terrane. When rapid uplift is accompanied by slow erosion, a plateau results. If erosion keeps pace with uplift, streams and GLACIERS erode away less competent rock, leaving more resistant rock standing as mountain ranges between the valleys.The long, narrow ranges of the ROCKY MOUNTAIN system of western Canada reflect the structure of resistant beds of folded and faulted sedimentary strata; the broader ranges and massifs of the Coast Range of BC were etched by water and glacier ice from an uplifted, granitic terrane of more uniform resistance to erosion. The relief and ruggedness of a mountain range depend on its age. The precipitous, very young ranges of the St Elias Mountains in the southwestern Yukon, where rapid uplift is still proceeding, include the highest individual peaks in Canada.Uplift of the somewhat less rugged Rocky Mountains began to decline after an episode of deformation about 70 million years ago. The subdued topography of the ancient Appalachian Mountains is the result of erosion during the 150 million years since the last major uplift and deformation in eastern Canada. Submarine mountain ranges, which rise from the ocean floor along mid-ocean ridges, such as the mid-Atlantic Ridge and East Pacific Rise, are of volcanic origin. On the moon and on planets that have little atmosphere, such as Mercury and Mars, circular or crescent-shaped mountain ranges around impact craters have survived for hundreds of millions of years without being destroyed by erosion.
What mountain range keeps moisture from reaching the Sahara desert?
The atlas mountains
Where in the dessert do geckos live?
Not all species of gecko come from the desert. Some species come from rainforest's, wetlands, grasslands, caves, mountain ranges and many other places! Most species of gecko that live in a hot and dry area, such as a desert will find some rocks to wedge in between to hide out, this also keeps them cool. They will also hang out in the areas with some shrubbery during the days to bask to speed up their metabolism.
How a mountain is changing?
The water cycle and how tiny rocks move with the flow of water so it keeps doing that.
What is same between distance and time?
Keeps on moving
What keeps material intact?
The bonds between atoms
What does a valcano look like?
it is a big mountain with hot rock in and out of it then it keeps going hig is formed aher and higher until a mountain and then when it is hot and big enogh it expldes and hot lava gets out
What is the mountain goats adaptation?
The goats white fur keeps it blending in with the snow so the predators can't see it and kill it.
How is a avalanche form?
When a mountain of snow comes clashing down and rolls down a hill and keeps getting bigger and bigger.
