What are the processes involved in the formation of mountains?
the process involved is formation of rocks and sediments
Which process is responsible for the formation of the bud?
mitosis
The dating process that places geologic events in proper sequence is?
Relative dating is the process that places geologic events in the proper sequence.
How can rocks on high mountains have fossils?
The material on the mountains was not always up there. Mountains are generally created by what is called uplift. And places that were under water and then had remains laid down and fossilized can be uplifted through long periods of time to create mountains. The fossils are then found up there in the mountains. The geologic process is fairly well understood and modeled by geologists.
What geologic process is related to caldera formation?
Calderas are formed by huge explosive volcanic eruptions. The magma chamber completely empties and the surface of the earth above it caves in forming a huge crater.
Which phenomena is responsible for the formation of the highest mountains?
The phenomenon responsible for the formation of the highest mountains is Tectonism. This is caused mostly as a result the collision movements of various lithospheric plates. The process of formation of the mountains is termed Orogeny.
Which of phenomena is responsible for the formation of the highest mountains?
Orogeny (mountain building process) is responsible for formation of high mountains. Tectonism also helps in facilitating the activities of orogeny.

What process creates a formation geology?
Formations are created by geologic processes such as sedimentation, erosion, volcanism, and plate movements.
What geologic process is responsible for building Up a River Delta?
The deposit of water born silt at the river's mouth.
What chemical weathering process is responsible for cave formation?
In most caves this process is the dissolution of calcium carbonate.
What process is most responsible for the formation of Grand Canyon?
erosion by wind and water
What physical process is MOST often responsible for island formation in the Pacific Ocean?
Volcanism, plate movements, and erosion could separately and in combination be responsible for island formation.
What are roche mountains?
A roche moutonnee is a rock formation that is created from the process of passing glaciers. This type of rock formation is usually found in in the Cairngorm.
