Without mountains, the Earth's topography would be much flatter and lower in elevation overall. This would impact weather patterns, biodiversity, and the availability of different ecological niches for various species. Additionally, the absence of mountains would likely alter ocean currents and the distribution of resources on the planet.
No ,mountains do not keep earth from shaking ,greatest earthquakes happen around the mountains like in Himalayas also mountains are created by the movement of the tectonic plates which create earthquakes.Just because the mountains are themselves stabilized by isostacy does not mean that the mountains stabilize the earth or the crust by isostacy. Prof David A Young.No self respecting geologists would claim that mountains keep earth from shaking.

For Earth to become a perfect shape, it would need to be perfectly spherical. This would require it to have a uniform distribution of mass and no geographical features like mountains or valleys. Achieving a perfectly spherical shape would mean Earth would have to be completely smooth and free of any irregularities.
Horst mountains are the type of mountains that form when large areas of Earth gradually uplift as a unit. This uplift occurs as a block of crust is forced upward between two parallel faults, resulting in a tilted plateau or range. This process can happen due to tectonic forces or the slow cooling and contraction of Earth's interior.
How much of the earth's surface do mountains cover? it is 99% of the earth
nothing, they just wouldn't have mountains
Geographic features can be described as mountains, rivers, lakes, trenches, etc. Without these there would be alterations in temperature, as well as the rotation of the Earth. Ethnic groups at war would not have mountains to form boundaries and there would be no water on Earth. There would only be snow in the far north and far south and the equator would be scorching hot.

Their would be no mountains.
ha ha well nothing would happen because there was no life on earth.
the earth would be destroyed
It would be like the rest of earth, mountains etc.
Earth would stay the same
Erosion is the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water,wind, etc. Erosion happens mostly on mountains.
we would be dead
you would be melted
earth would no longer exist
