What material forms most mountains at subduction zones?
how should you know
How much do mountains rise with each addition of 1000 meters of crustal material?
200 meters
What happens when buoyant mantle material gets near earths surface?
The buoyant mantle material will not subduct under Earth's continental crust. Instead, it will form mountains.
What is it called when erosion removes material from the tops of mountains and the mass of mountains decreases?
This process is known as Degradation. And if the soil is deposited on a certain place and there is an increase in the high of that area then it is called Aggradation.
How can rocks on high mountains have fossils?
The material on the mountains was not always up there. Mountains are generally created by what is called uplift. And places that were under water and then had remains laid down and fossilized can be uplifted through long periods of time to create mountains. The fossils are then found up there in the mountains. The geologic process is fairly well understood and modeled by geologists.
What mountains form by molded materials?
Volcanic mountains are formed by molded material
What is it called when you put something together out of existing material?
Recycling :-)
If molten magma oozes out of the ocean floor and creates additional crustal material what will happen if there comes a time when there is too much crust?
New crust sometimes rides over existing crust, burying it, and sometimes it folds up, creating mountains.
What happened to rock material on adirondack mountains that are now gone?
sharp peaks formed over the rock material
What material forms most mountains at subduction zones?

What builds volcanic mountains?

Why were these south African traditional materials used?

What does formed in nature mean?
