Erosion from wind and rain. It might take a million years or more but the weather can turn a sharp peak into a rounded peak.
Stone Mountain in Georgia is a good example. Rounded over the top, bet a few million years ago, it was assumed that it was a craggy peak.
yes...but the right way (and easier) is to scrape off the "hard-rounded little bumps"
Rhinal.
becoz it can easily pierce through anything...(when it is sharp)
On the American lobster you might be familiar with, that has the large front claws (not the spiny lobster with the giant antenna but tiny claws) there is a larger claw and a smaller one. The bigger one is for crushing prey and has rounded bumps; the smaller is a cutter and has sharp inside edges used for holding and tearing prey.
Normally, your character automatically makes sharp turns. If you choose Manual, you'll have to rely on your skills to make sharp turns, but every time you make a sharp turn, you get a slight turbo. Imagine using a mushroom after turning.
As mountains go, they are relatively new, and have not weathered.
sharp peaks formed over the rock material
The rounded peaks of the Ural Mountains are a result of millions of years of erosion from glaciers, weathering, and other natural processes. Over time, these forces have worn down the sharp peaks that may have existed in the past, resulting in the rounded shape we see today.
this is because the ranges get worn down due to erosion
because older mountains are more exposed to the elements such as rain and storms which wear down the jagged points. Actually, the sharpness or bluntness of the peaks of a mountain indicates the strength of the rock from which they are formed, and says nothing about their age.
Old mountains become rounded due to the process of erosion, where wind, water, and ice wear down the sharp peaks and ridges over time. This gradual process smooths out the rocky surfaces and gives the mountains a more rounded appearance.
Yes
Eventually, natural weathering (over an extremely long time) will wear the rounded peaks into sharper edges. Most extreme weathering occurred during the ice-ages. Glaciers scoured out 'U' shaped valleys, shaved the sides of the mountains, sharpening the mountains into their present shapes.
Two processes that could cause high mountains with rounded peaks are erosion and glaciation. Erosion from wind, water, or ice can wear down sharp peaks over time, creating a more rounded appearance. Glaciation, where glaciers move over the landscape, can also smooth out mountain peaks as the ice grinds and shapes the rock.
Old mountains tend to have _____.
Weathering, Erosion
Young mountains are characterized by sharp, rugged peaks, steep slopes, and active geological processes like earthquakes and volcanic activity. Old mountains have smoother, more rounded peaks, gentler slopes, and exhibit less intense geological activity due to millions of years of weathering and erosion. Old mountains are often lower in elevation compared to young mountains.
