as the air rises to cross the mountains it is cooled and is able to hold less moisture
so it drops in the form of rain. when the air reaches lower areas there is more moisture to make less rain.
Rocks and pebbles are made out of bits of rock that has been cut down from mountains etc.
Generally, volcanic mountains are made up of undeformed rocks due to the solidification of volcanic lava and ash. These mountains form from the accumulation of volcanic material over time, without significant tectonic forces deforming the rock layers.
It is made of old, flat lying sedimentary rocks (it is the flat area of a large open syncline fold), which define the flat table top and the feature was formed as a remnant as the continents split either side of Africa and drifted away. In other words the other bits of the geological formation are now on other continents.
No, the Three Sisters in Oregon are not made of metamorphic rock. They are volcanic peaks formed from volcanic activity in the area. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have undergone changes due to heat and pressure over time.
The first hard layer is the Lockport Formation, which is made from limestone. The secound is softer, and is the Rochester Formation, and is made from shale and some very thin limestone bits. The third layer is underwater, and is Queenston Formation, which is made from shales and fine sandstone.
Mountains are made of many different rocks. Such as sedimentary, ingenious and metamorphosis rocks.
Igneous rocks, Sedimentary rocks Metamorphic rocks.
they are made of different species of rocks
Mountains are made of rocks and dirt. They have high, bumpy tops, and they are high in elevation.
rocks lava magma
Mountains formed from large rocks that have been uplifted and moved along fault lines are called fault-block mountains. These mountains are created when tectonic forces cause the earth's crust to break and move in different directions, resulting in the formation of distinct mountain ranges. The movement along faults can result in steep cliffs and rugged terrain characteristic of fault-block mountains.
Rocks and pebbles are made out of bits of rock that has been cut down from mountains etc.
Mountains are made up of many different types of rocks. It also depends on the where the mountain is located and how it formed. For example, mountains formed by recent volcanic activity will be mostly composed of Igneous rock. Though most mountains and the like are made up of a combination of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock.
coz when god made them he had his period ;)
Metamorphic rocks are formed by continental plates colliding. These are Himalayan or Alps mountains. Sedimentary rock is also made into mountains when it is pushed up where tectonic plates collide.
