If the earth is round how do people on the opposite end to us stay upright?

Gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, so people on the opposite side are also pulled towards the center and stay upright due to the balance of forces acting on their bodies.


Do mountains always stay the same?

No, mountains are continuously shaped by various forces such as erosion, tectonic activity, and weathering. These processes can cause mountains to change in size, shape, and elevation over millions of years.


What are the 5 types of mountains?

The five types of mountains are fold mountains (e.g. the Rocky Mountains), fault-block mountains (e.g. the Sierra Nevada), volcanic mountains (e.g. Mount St. Helens), dome mountains (e.g. the Black Hills), and plateau mountains (e.g. the Colorado Plateau).


What mountains are examples of unwarped mountains?

The Appalachian Mountains, Black Hills, and Ouachita Mountains are examples of unwarped mountains. These mountains were formed by erosion and uplift, rather than tectonic forces that lead to folding and faulting.


What are the 5 basic types of mountains in the world?

The five basic types of mountains in the world are fold mountains, fault-block mountains, dome mountains, volcanic mountains, and plateau mountains. Fold mountains form through the folding of rock layers, fault-block mountains result from the movement of tectonic plates, dome mountains are created by the uplifting of rock layers, volcanic mountains form from volcanic activity, and plateau mountains are elevated flat surfaces.
