But mountain ranges on continents do sink into the soft asthenosphere! They sink more than their continent but they still float on the heavier material beneath. A large tall cruse ship (mountain) will sit much deeper in the water than a flat barge (a continent). Still, the large cruse ship will float in the more dense material underneath. Just as the water has a greater density than the large cruise ship, the asthenosphere still has a greater density than the mountain range.
What else can I help you with?
Is it cooler at the top of a mountain than at the bottom?
i dont know
Why does it get colder as you go up a mountain?
As you move higher up a mountain, the air pressure decreases, causing the air to expand and cool. This expansion of air leads to a drop in temperature with increasing altitude, known as the lapse rate. Additionally, as you ascend, you move away from the heat-retaining surface of the Earth, resulting in cooler temperatures.
Why do clouds tend to form above mountain peaks?
As air rises over a mountain peak, it cools and condenses, forming clouds. This process is known as orographic lifting. The moisture in the air is forced to condense into droplets as it encounters cooler temperatures at higher altitudes, leading to the formation of clouds.

What are the tallest mountain peaks and ranges?
It is Kilimanjaro. Because it maybe half way submerged in to water but it is still the highest peak that stands apart from the highest mountain ranges though.

Where is the nearest mountain range in Cairo?
The nearest mountain range to Cairo is the Eastern Desert, located to the east of the city. The Eastern Desert is a vast arid region with rocky plateaus and mountains, but it is not as pronounced or prominent as traditional mountain ranges.
What are pieces of evidence that support the theory of continental drift?
Fossil evidence of similar species found on continents that are now widely separated, matching mountain ranges across continents, similar rock formations and geological structures on different continents, and the fit of continents like puzzle pieces are pieces of evidence that support the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century.
How did Alfred wegener test his theory?
i dont think anyone couldve tested that theory since no computer models in the 1800s. it was supported by fossil and glaciation evidence though. and offcourse later supported furthur by plate tectonics
