Mountains

Alot of the Himilayas and the Andies I think. Sorry for the spelling ers.

Mount McKinley's elevation in meters is 6,194 meters.

The cambrian mountains get a lot of rainfall because they are near the coast of England so the water evaporates when it is warm and as it gets closer to the mountains it condenses and turn into clouds the rain mostly falls on one side of the mountain and less on the other this type of rainfall is called relief rainfall

Mountain formation can occur when tectonic plates collide, causing one plate to be pushed up and over the other. This process, known as mountain building or orogenesis, can create mountain ranges and other topographical features over millions of years. Additionally, volcanic activity and the accumulation of sediment can also contribute to the formation of mountains.

Most of the highest mountains are formed by the collision of tectonic plates, where one plate is forced under another in a process called subduction. This action pushes up the Earth's crust, creating mountain ranges such as the Himalayas and the Andes. Erosion and weathering also play a role in shaping these mountains over time.

Mountains change over time due to various factors such as erosion caused by weathering, water, and ice, as well as tectonic activity that leads to uplift and deformation. Erosion processes like landslides, rockfalls, and rivers reshape mountain landscapes, while tectonic forces continue to shape and lift them over geologic time scales. Human activities such as mining, deforestation, and infrastructure development can also have significant impacts on mountain morphology and ecosystems.

A seamount is a mountain under the ocean that can eventually rise above the sea surface and become a volcanic island through volcanic activity. Over time, as lava continues to build up on the seamount, it can breach the water's surface, forming a new landmass.

Frost wedging is the most common type of mechanical weathering in mountainous regions in middle latitudes. This process occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break apart. The combination of freezing and thawing cycles in these regions promotes rock breakdown through frost wedging.

Snow in the mountains may not melt due to lower temperatures at higher altitudes, limited exposure to direct sunlight in shaded areas, or the insulating effect of thick snowpack. Factors like altitude, slope orientation, and snow density can also affect how quickly snow melts in mountainous regions.

Skiing in Sierra Madre Occidental in July is generally not possible as it is summer in Mexico during that time, and the weather is usually warm. The ski season typically runs from late November to early April in this region due to the winter snowfall.

A volcanic mountain can have a crater at its summit, which may contain a volcanic vent, lava dome, or caldera. The top of a volcanic mountain can also be covered in ash, rock debris, and volcanic gases.

The volume of Stone Mountain in Georgia is estimated to be around 4.7 billion cubic feet. It is a large granite dome monadnock, which is a type of rock formation that protrudes from the surrounding landscape.

With less mass above sea-level to support, the buoyant root rebounds upward an amount that is exactly proportional to the density difference between the root and the underlying mantle.

Yes, continental-continental collisions can lead to the formation of mountain ranges through the process of crustal uplift and folding. The intense pressure and deformation generated during the collision cause the Earth's crust to fold, creating large-scale mountain systems like the Himalayas.

The Himalayan mountains are the result of the Indian tectonic plate pressing hard (among the fastest-moving plates in the world) northward into the Eurasian plate. The Himalayan mountains are folded mountains, as opposed to volcanoes; they are the result of the land being lifted up by the pressure between two plates.

You would typically expect to find the least precipitation on the leeward side, which is the side opposite to the direction of the wind. In this case, it would be the northern slope of the mountain. As the air rises over the mountain, it cools and releases moisture on the windward side, leaving less moisture to fall on the leeward side. This phenomenon is known as the rain shadow effect.

The mountain range that winds through Earth's oceans is called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It is a continuous underwater mountain range that is one of the longest mountain ranges in the world.

Gneiss is more likely to form at great depths where mountains are being pushed up. This is because gneiss forms through the process of high-grade metamorphism, which requires high pressures and temperatures found at greater depths in the Earth's crust. As mountains are pushed up, rocks are brought to these depths and subjected to the conditions needed for gneiss formation.

Upwarped mountains are characterized by their broad, gentle slopes and large surface area. They are formed when tectonic forces push large sections of the Earth's crust upwards, creating a broad uplifted region. Examples of upwarped mountains include the Adirondack Mountains in New York.

The Rocky Mountains and the Appalachians Mountains are the two largest mountain systems in North America.

The largest mountain range in North America are the Rocky Mountains.

The second Largest mountain range is the Appleachians.

Both constructive and destructive, constructive because it helps create the mountains, destructive because some of the areas around the mountain can collapse, crack, and damage other land forms.

At higher altitudes, the air pressure is lower, which results in less oxygen being available per unit volume of air. This reduced oxygen concentration can lead to symptoms of altitude sickness for individuals not acclimatized to such environments.

The Himalayas is a mountain range located on the continent of Asia. They are not a continent.

As the clouds move into a mountain range, they must do one of two things: either they hit the mountain and become fog or stop where they are, or they go higher as the weather tries to push them over.

But if they go over, they encounter much thinner air than say on the plains or at sea level. So, there cannot be as much water held in the air as at those lower altitudes. The water has to go somewhere, and when gravity is the only factor, that water goes downwards as rain.
