No. The weathering process and snow accumulation would take most of the eroded rock pieces (soil) farther down the mountain. "Topsoil" is formed from accumulated dead plant material, and there are fewer plants that grow on top of mountains compared to valleys and plains.

Where would you expect to find a mountain range?

You would expect to find a mountain range in regions where tectonic plates collide, such as along plate boundaries like the Himalayas (where the Indian plate collides with the Eurasian plate) or the Rocky Mountains (formed by the North American plate and Pacific plate).

They thought that they would find woolly mammoths, erupting volcanoes and a mountain of pure salt.


If wind blows against a mountain from the south side then on which slope would you expect to find the precipitation?

You would expect to find the precipitation on the windward slope, which in this case would be the south side of the mountain. As the air rises and cools when it hits the mountain, it reaches its dew point and condenses into precipitation. This leaves the leeward side, or the north side in this scenario, in a rain shadow with less precipitation.


What type of mountain would you expect to find at a convergent boundary involving two oceanic plates?

You would expect to find a volcanic mountain range, known as an island arc, as a result of the subduction of one oceanic plate beneath the other. This process can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches, volcanic activity, and the uplift of magma, creating a chain of volcanic islands.

If winds blow against a mountain from the south than on which slope would you expect to find the least precipitation?

You would typically expect to find the least precipitation on the leeward side, which is the side opposite to the direction of the wind. In this case, it would be the northern slope of the mountain. As the air rises over the mountain, it cools and releases moisture on the windward side, leaving less moisture to fall on the leeward side. This phenomenon is known as the rain shadow effect.
