Mountains

A rain shadow is a dry area on the lee side of a mountain range caused by air being forced to rise and cool as it moves over the mountain, leading to precipitation on the windward side and a lack of moisture on the leeward side. This phenomenon results in one side of the mountain receiving more rainfall while the other side experiences a drier climate.

Sedimentary rocks generally suffer from weathering more quickly than other types of rocks due to their composition, which can include minerals that are easily broken down by water and air. The layering and porous nature of many sedimentary rocks also make them more susceptible to weathering processes such as erosion and chemical breakdown.

The 'hole' in question may refer to a disussed railway tunnel that linked Abedare to Quakers Yard and was built through the base of the Mountain. The tunnel is now in pretty poor condition and largely innaccesible.

The Glass House Mountains in Australia were named by Captain Cook during his 1770 voyage, as their peaks reminded him of the glass furnaces back in his home country of Yorkshire, England. These volcanic plugs are striking formations that rise abruptly from the surrounding landscape.

Mount Etna is an active volcano located on the Italian Island of Sicily. It is in the Sicilian Apennine mountain range.

the largest moutian range on earth is i think mount everest because it said it on the other question i asked

Actually, volcanic mountains are formed like so.
They start out as cracks in the earth's surface called a volcanic vent, and when magma erupts out of the ground as lava flows, clouds as of and explosions of rock gather. Material falls back to Earth around the vent and piles up around it.

sorry i don't know how many towns were distoryed i know that 17 million people died and that on the first day about 72 houses were distoryed and 3 Buddhist temples, and i do know that the damage was about 2.5 trillion dollars.

I HOPE THAT HELPS.=)

57 people were reported to have died as a result of the Mount St. Helens eruption in 1980, while approximately 200 people were injured. Many of the survivors were evacuated before the eruption occurred, which helped minimize the number of casualties.

No. Most mountains along the edge of a continent are the result of the crust being compressed and thrust upward by converging plates. Volcanoes can occur in these locations as well, but they will account for a minority of the mountains.

An avalanche.

That area is called a rain shadow. It occurs when moist air rises over a mountain, releases moisture on the windward side, and descends down the other side, resulting in a drier climate on the leeward side.

The Alps are primarily made of sedimentary rocks, which include limestone, dolomite, and sandstone. These rocks were formed through processes like compression, folding, and erosion over millions of years. Additionally, the Alps also contain some metamorphic and igneous rocks due to tectonic activity in the region.

The Central Plateau (Mesa Central) separates Mexico's two main mountain ranges: the Sierra Madre Occidental in the west and the Sierra Madre Oriental in the east. The Central Plateau is a large, flat area that lies between the two mountain ranges and is home to Mexico City.

A fault mountain is a mountain that is formed due to the movement along a fault line in Earth's crust. As the tectonic plates shift and create stress along a fault, it can result in the uplifting and tilting of the land, forming a fault mountain. These mountains often have steep slopes and can be found in areas with active tectonic activity.

The Barberton Greenstone Belt in South Africa is one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world, estimated to be over 3.5 billion years old. The Canadian Shield in North America is another ancient mountain range, dating back over 4 billion years.

I don't think it would be possible to accurately answer this question because it is very hard to define exactly what a "mountain" is. Plus, you have multiple peaks that could either be said to be just that, or possibly defined as separate mountains.

Then there's the whole issue of the massive mountain ranges underneath the sea. Not all of these have been mapped - or probably even discovered.

An easier question might be how many major mountain RANGES there are on earth. But I'm sure you would get disagreement even there because some of them flow into each other without much of a break.

Interesting question, though.

Most high mountain ranges are composed of a mix of different types of rocks, including granite, limestone, and sedimentary rocks. The specific composition can vary depending on the geological history of the region and the processes that formed the mountains.

No, folded mountain ranges are typically found in areas of continental collision, where tectonic plates are pushed together and the crust is folded and uplifted. Mid-ocean ridges are divergent plate boundaries, where plates are moving apart and new oceanic crust is being created, so folded mountain ranges would not be expected there.

It covers the south half of Missouri The Ozarks are a physiographic, geologic, and cultural highland region of the central United States. It covers much of the south half of Missouri and an extensive portion of northwest and North central Arkansas. The region also extends westward into northeast Oklahoma and extreme southeast Kansas. An upland region of the south-central United States extending from southwest Missouri across northwest Arkansas into eastern Oklahoma.

God created mountains before we were made. God made mountains with earthquakes and volcanos. He did it before he created us because if he did we think about what would happen. Earthquakes and volcanos would be going off all around the world.

In the beginning the fourth day of creation God(*Jehovah) Through Jesus Christ made Great Sea monsters, these grew to be immense as well as the creastures that flew and walked were immense after being thousands of years old. but whe He flooded the earth in Noah's day all the creatures were killed, drowned, many tried to continue breathin as the water levels rose these all were petrified over the years as it took nearly 135 years for the waters to recede when it did all these creatures were left with silt on them and some has washed off. if you look close every mountain has eyes on it somewhere you just gotta find em to see what kind of a creature it was.

Mountains are formed through tectonic processes, such as the collision of tectonic plates or the uplifting of the Earth's crust. This can result in the folding, faulting, and uplifting of the land, creating the distinctive features of mountains over millions of years. Erosion and weathering also play a role in shaping and sculpting mountains into their final form.

What is the oldest mountain range in the world?

my guss is that it's own weight would crush it and it would start to sink into the earth's crust.

i think that to existance of mountain on earth pressure of mountain should be less than elastic limit of earth ................
