Mountains

Yes, there are numerous glaciers on the mountain, which means there is snow and ice year-round. If you plan on visiting, there is typically still snow on the ground at Paradise during much of July, though this depends on the year. All roads are open in July, however.

False. Dome mountains are formed by the uplifting and folding of rock layers, not by normal faults. Mountains formed by blocks of rock uplifted by normal faults are called fault-block mountains.

Sierra Occidental- Western Mountain Range

Sierra Oriental- Eastern Mountain Range

the sierra oriental and sierra occidental are found in North America (new Mexico)

Fold-and-thrust belts are characterized by complex geological structures resulting from the compression of the Earth's crust. Fault-block mountains, on the other hand, are formed by the uplift of large blocks of crust along fault lines. While they can be related in the context of tectonic forces, they are not synonymous terms.

Yes, you can feel an earthquake on top of a mountain. However, the intensity of the shaking may vary depending on the distance from the epicenter of the earthquake and the height of the mountain. Generally, higher elevations can amplify the shaking during an earthquake.

The cities closest to Mount Adams are Trout Lake, Washington, and Hood River, Oregon. Trout Lake is located to the north of the mountain, while Hood River is to the south. Both cities provide access to recreational activities and viewpoints of Mount Adams.

Terracing is a farming method that involves creating and planting small flat areas on the sloping sides of hills or mountains. This technique helps prevent soil erosion and improve water retention, making it suitable for cultivating crops in hilly or mountainous terrain.

Yes, the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa do receive snowfall in winter, typically between June and August. Snow is most common at higher elevations of the mountains, such as in Lesotho where ski resorts are located.

The other name for the Western Ghats is Sahyadri. This mountain range runs parallel to the western coast of India and is known for its rich biodiversity and cultural significance.

Mount Shasta is a stratovolcano, which is a type of volcano characterized by a steep-sided cone shape and explosive eruptions due to volatile-rich magma.

Some plants found in Mount Rainier National Park include subalpine fir, Pacific silver fir, mountain hemlock, western red cedar, vine maple, wildflowers such as lupine, glacier lilies, and avalanche lilies, as well as various lichens and mosses. The diverse habitats in the park support a wide variety of flora.

Fold mountains are defined as mountains created by the bending of rock layers. Volcanic mountains are mountains created by breaks in the Earth's crust. In Canada, there are many examples. For example, the Appalachian Mountains and the Rocky Mountains are fold mountains. The Canadian Shield and the coastal ranges along the North American west coast are examples of volcanic mountains.

A mountain top is higher (greater) in altitude. That is the definition of altitude : height above a surface, or above sea level.

The locations of mountains, trenches, and volcanoes are primarily influenced by plate tectonics. Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and create uplift. Trenches are formed at subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath another. Volcanoes can occur at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and hot spots where magma rises to the surface.

This depends upon the viscosity (i.e. how runny the lava is ) and the composition (i.e. the percentage composition of silicon which determines the properties of the lava and how much gas is retained within the lava) of the magma greatly. In Iceland, Hekla is an example of a mountain/volcano and is classed as a shield volcano as it had long, gently inclined sides. However, in Peru where the Nazca plate is being subducted beneath the South American plate rhyolitic eruptions produce steeply sided mountains with thrust faults. The type of the tectonic plate margin determines the type of mountains produced as well as the viscosity and composition.

Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania, East Africa and closest to the Indian Ocean

volcanoes typically happen along earth's tectonic plates. the plates move and shift, creating both volcanoes and earthquakes. Volcanoes may also occur in the middle of plates or even over hot spots :D

The Himalayan Mountains are a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This collision has led to the uplift of the mountains through convergent tectonic processes. The movement of the plates continues to push the mountains higher over time.

Mountain ranges formed by the pushing together of tectonic plates are called fold mountains. Examples include the Himalayas and the Alps, where the collision of plates has caused the Earth's crust to fold and create towering mountain peaks.

Mount Schank is a volcanic cone formed by a series of eruptions around 5,000 years ago. The cone was created by layers of volcanic ash, scoria, and lava spewed from a central vent. Today, it is a dormant volcano located in South Australia.

Fold moutains are actually formed by crust which have been uplifted and folded by compressional forces. This occurs along convergent plate boundaries where 2 plates move towards each other, between continental plates or between an oceanic and a continental plate. The crust and the rocks get bent and crumpled, and massive layers of Earth's crust gets uplifted as a result, forming spectacular fold mountains.

More well-know examples of fold mountains are the Himalayas in Asia and the Andes in South America.

As you climb a mountain the air gets colder.

The eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 destroyed and scorched vegetation within a 230 square mile area around the volcano. The blast removed trees and plants, leaving behind a barren landscape of scorched earth and ash. Over time, the area has slowly been recolonized by plants and trees as part of the natural ecological succession process.

The nearest volcano to Florida is San Martin Tuxtla, located in eastern Mexico on the west side of the Bay of Campehe. It is about 900 miles from the westernmost of the Florida Keys, the closes point in Florida. This volcano last erupted in 1796.

The Ozark Plateau is a rugged highland region located primarily in Arkansas and Missouri, with parts extending into Oklahoma and Kansas. It is characterized by its dissected terrain, deep valleys, and karst topography. The area is known for its scenic beauty, diverse wildlife, and outdoor recreational opportunities.
