In a way, yes. Erosion of the mountain rock by wind, water, ice and gravity makes the mountain lighter. The loss of mass will cause it to rise due to the effects of isostatic equilibrium. If the mountain is rising due to plate tectonic collision, erosion may not be great enough to prevent a rise in elevation. However, if the plate collision effects are reduced or halted, the entire mountain will rise from uplift, but be reduced in elevation due to erosion. In this manner, a mountain could eventually be uplifted and reduced in elevation to sea level.
What else can I help you with?
The removal of material by erosion will cause earths crust to?
rise
What is 2 examples of a landform?
Two examples of landforms are mountains and valleys. Mountains are elevated landforms that rise prominently above their surroundings, often characterized by steep slopes and peaks. Valleys are low-lying areas typically located between hills or mountains, often formed by erosion or the movement of glaciers.
What cause sharp rough mountains to become rounded and smooth over time?
Weathering, Erosion
As erosion removes the tops of mountains the crust will rise upwards This is an example of what?
This is an example of isostasy, which is the concept that the Earth's lithosphere (crust) floats on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. As material is eroded from the top of mountains, the lithosphere readjusts to maintain equilibrium, resulting in the rising of the crust.
What do underwater mountains become when the rise out of the water?
Underwater mountains that rise above the surface of the water are called islands. These formations are the result of volcanic activity or tectonic movements that cause them to breach the water's surface.
Does wind cause erosion in the region mountains and basins?
yes indeed. erosion happens everywhere.
As erosion removes material from tops of mountains the crust will rise upwards this is an example of?
Isostatic uplift, where the uplifting of the Earth's crust occurs in response to erosion removing material from the top of mountains.
Can mountains cause erosion?
No, it is they that are eroded by such things as rain, rivers and glaciers.
The removal of material by erosion will cause earths crust to?
rise
What are two natural occurrences common in the Andes that cause the mountains to rise and the coast to sink?
What are two natural occurrences common in the Andes, that cause the mountains to rise and the coast to sink?
What feature is not caused by differential erosion?
The formation of mountains is not caused by differential erosion. Mountains are primarily formed through tectonic processes such as plate collision or volcanic activity, rather than erosion. Erosion can shape and modify mountains after their formation, but it is not the primary cause of their creation.
How does erosion affect mountains?
Erosion affects mountainous areas because erosion may flatten one area of our planet, but other areas rise to keep a balance. Hope this helps.
Does a meteor cause erosion on mountains?
if it gets hit yes(stuff blastes out)
How does deposition affect mountains?
Deposition and erosion can wear down a mountain and cause it to shrink.
What makes land rise?
the shifting of earths plates can cause land to rise and slowly make mountains
How does mountain grow and Why does mountain grow?
Mountains grow through geological processes such as tectonic plate movements, volcanic activity, and erosion. Tectonic plates colliding or pulling apart can cause the Earth's crust to rise and form mountain ranges. Volcanic eruptions can also create new mountains by depositing magma and ash. Erosion from wind, water, and ice can shape and lift mountains over time.
What type of tectonic plate movement can cause the formation of mountains trenches or volcanoes?
weathering and erosion
