Water was transported to the top of Sigiriya Mountain through an ingenious system of reservoirs and channels built by King Kashyapa in the 5th century AD. The engineering utilized the natural topography of the area, capturing rainwater from surrounding lands and directing it through a series of aqueducts. This system not only provided water for the gardens and pools on the summit but also demonstrated advanced hydraulic engineering for its time. The impressive water management contributed to the site's aesthetic and functional appeal.

If you go up a mountain will air pressure become less?
Yes, as you go up a mountain, the air pressure will become less. This is because the weight of the air above decreases as you gain elevation, resulting in lower atmospheric pressure.

What is a folded up mountain?
A folded mountain is a type of mountain that forms when tectonic plates collide, causing layers of rock to buckle and fold. This folding process can create long, ridged mountain ranges with distinctive folds and faults in the rock layers. The Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States are a well-known example of folded mountains.
When an air mass rises up a mountain sides?
It cools, and may loose its water content.
