Mountain rocks stay strong because they are typically composed of hard and dense materials like granite, basalt, or quartzite that are able to withstand the forces of weathering and erosion. Additionally, the weight and pressure from the layers of rock above help hold the mountain rocks in place, maintaining their strength. Finally, the slow rate of tectonic activity in mountainous regions also contributes to preserving the strength of the rocks.

Is the worlds largest single rock mt Augustus?
No, Mt. Augustus is a Mountain, Ayers is a rock so it is the largest. A mountain is made from volcanoes, they are simply just not active (dead basically). So Mt. Augustus is not a rock, it was not originally made of rock, it came up from the ground my earthquakes makes the platelets rub against each other causing force to make a hole in the earths crust. The molten lava comes up from the earths core which is when the volcano explodes. A dead volcano is when it has been basically when the hole is clogged up, which then they are called mountains. So The largest single rock Is Ayers Rock. Answer by Boog613 ( Hannah Hale)

What do you know about a rock layer found on a mountain if you find a seashell fossil?
If you find a seashell fossil in a rock layer on a mountain, than you know that the rock layer was formed at a time when that area was submerged under water. This is because the seashell lived and died underwater, so it would have been fossilized there as the rock layer formed. Millions of years later, the water drained away, and forces within the Earth's crust pushed the rock layer and the layers above it upward, forming mountains. Of course, the rock layer would have been buried deep within the Earth by that point, but as the mountains formed, weathering and erosion would have worn away the newer layers, exposing the ancient rock layer with the seashell.
