A mountain that breaks through the surface of the water typically forms an island. Bora Bora is an excellent example of this.

Where does mountain spring water originate from?

Mountain spring water originates from natural underground sources within mountains, where the water is filtered through layers of rock and soil before emerging at the surface as a spring.


A seamount is what?

A seamount is a mountain rising from the ocean seafloor that does not reach to the water's surface (sea level), and thus is not an island.


Why a tin lid floats in a bowl of water but when it is crushed into a ball it sinks?

The surface tension of the water stops it from breaking the surface so long as it does not cut through it. The irregular shape and weight of a metal ball made from the same thing cuts the surface tension and breaks the electronic bond that exists between the water molecules at the surface.

What breaks on water but not on land?

The answer is "waves." Waves break on the surface of water, causing them to crash and break, but this does not occur on land.


Why an air bubble in water burst as it emerges on water surface?

An air bubble in water bursts at the surface due to a decrease in surface tension. As the bubble rises, the water surrounding it is dragged along, stretching and thinning the surface layer. When the bubble reaches the surface, this thin layer breaks, causing the bubble to burst.


How Weathering and erosion effect mountain?

Weathering breaks down rocks on a mountain into smaller pieces through processes like freeze-thaw cycles and chemical reactions. Erosion then transports these smaller pieces downhill through agents like water, wind, or ice, gradually wearing away the mountain over time. Together, weathering and erosion can reshape and reduce the size of a mountain.
