What else can I help you with?
Mountains are jagged because the moon has no?
atmosphere or tectonic activity to break down sharp edges and peaks like on Earth. As a result, mountains on the moon retain their jagged appearance from their initial formation through impacts and volcanic activity.
What range of mountains with jagged peaks?
Can anytone tell me the range of mountains with jagged peaks - i - r - a Sierra
Why are mountains jagged?
Mountains are jagged because that is how they are formed. As they get older, erosion will begin to smooth them out so they appear rounder.
What is a Jagged ridge that forms in the mountains?
Arêtes
How do jagged mountains turn into smooth mountains?
Wind and water erosion makes the mountains smooth.
Mountains are jagged because the moon has no what?
Because just like the earth, the moon has been bombarded by meteors for billions of years. The reason you see very few craters on earth is because the walls of earthly craters erode inward leaving a nice shallow depression that is barely noticeable from the surface. The lack of atmosphere on the moon leaves craters virtually untouched other than by other impacts. Erosion occurs on the moon from several sources; solar wind, and spray from the creation of new craters. There is also a very small amount of erosion due to expansion and contraction as a result of the extreme temperature differences between the lunar night and day.
How can jagged mountains peaks become more rounded?
Jagged mountains peaks become more rounded by the process of weathering. This occurs as wind and rain slowly eat away at the mountain, removing tiny bits of the rocks at a time until the mountains look more rounded than jagged.
How would you expect the mountains on the moon to be different from those on Earth?
Mountains on the moon would likely be more jagged and rugged compared to those on Earth. They would also lack vegetation and erosion features seen on Earth's mountains due to the moon's lack of atmosphere and water. Additionally, lunar mountains may have been formed by different geological processes than those on Earth.
Why the Applatiation mountains smooth and rockys are jagged?
The Appalachian Mountains are older and have undergone more erosion, giving them a smoother appearance. The Rocky Mountains are younger and have experienced more uplift and tectonic activity, resulting in their jagged peaks and rugged terrain.
How did weathering help to shape the Appalachian Mountains?
Weathering rounded the mountains by breaking down jagged peaks.
The mountains of western Canada are?
tall and jagged, creating magnificent scenery
What does the word siera mean?
A sierra is a long jagged chain of mountains.
