Do mountains last forever

Answer 1

Yes, but usually very slowly,such as the Himilayas, which are getting higher due to ongoing plate collision and uplift. Sometimes uplift is balanced or exceeded by erosion and weathering. Sometimes they can change size violently, such as Mt. St Helens, when much of its side blew off. Volcanism generally increases the height and width of mountains,though.

Answer 2

They DO! Mountains are formed at destructive plate boundaries. As plates move towards each other, land is pushed upwards, causing a mountain to form. [http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/geography/platetectonics/plateboundaryrev2.shtml] As long as the tectonic plates continue to move towards each other, the mountains should continue to rise. Perhaps they do not appear to rise forever because the plates do not move that quickly. [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/everest/earth/birth.html]

Answer 3

Mountains are constantly being shaped by geological processes like weathering, erosion, and tectonic activity. While mountains may last for millions of years, they are not permanent features and can eventually erode away over time.

Answer 4

They would have grew to the fullest, to make them stop growing.

Answer 5

Yes. erosion and plate tectonics makes every mountain disappear through the course of millions of years.

Answer 6

No. Erosion wins in the end.
