Yes, the eruption of Mount Pelée in 1902 resulted in the death of approximately 30,000 people in the city of St. Pierre in Martinique. It is considered one of the deadliest volcanic eruptions in the 20th century.

Olympus Mons, the highest mountain in the solar system, is on Mars.

These down-dropped blocks of crust are called grabens. Grabens are formed by the extensional forces that cause the crust to stretch and create space for the down-dropped blocks between the steeply dipping normal faults.

yup. near austrailian-indian plate and eurasian plate

Fault Block.

That is wrong, they are fold mountains, they were formed on a weakening in the plate, and millions of years ago the plate was under pressure and then it buckled and the Rockies were formed.

The Black Hills are primarily made up of igneous rocks that were intruded into older sedimentary rocks. They are formed from a combination of volcanic activity and uplift and erosion of the land. The area also contains some faulting due to the regional tectonic activity.

Popocatepetl is 43 miles from Mexico City.

Yes, the mountains in northern Ethiopia are part of the Ethiopian Highlands, which are considered to be fold mountains. These mountains were formed by the movement of tectonic plates, resulting in the folding and uplifting of the Earth's crust.

There are 28 states and 8 Union territories in India, but in terms of cultural or linguistic regions, there are numerous distinct regions across the country.

The warm wind that blows off the Rocky Mountains and causes snow to melt is called a Chinook wind. This type of wind can rapidly raise temperatures and melt snow, providing relief from cold winter conditions in the region.

The Rocky Mountains play a crucial role in shaping the rivers in their region by capturing snowmelt and precipitation, which then feeds into the rivers. The steep slopes of the mountains also lead to fast-flowing rivers with rapids and waterfalls, making them important sources of water for various ecosystems and human activities. Additionally, the Rocky Mountains act as a barrier, causing rivers to flow around or through them, creating unique landscapes and habitats.

No, not every island is the top of a volcano or mountain. Some islands are formed by coral reefs, drifting land masses, or sediment deposits. The origins of islands can vary depending on geographical and geological factors.

Mount Bachelor is named after the Bachelor Butte, which is a prominent feature on its southeastern side. The mountain was once known as "Brother Jonathan's Mountain," but the name was eventually changed to Mount Bachelor in honor of the volcanic cone's distinct shape resembling a bachelor's hat.

Mt. Masherbrum.....the 22nd highest Mt. in the World. Originally named K1 as it was one of several prominent peaks a British Engineer noted from a position some 130 miles to the south. Since there were so many mountains in this part of the World the English only gave names to a few(Mt Everest, for instance, was called Peak #15 until people realized that it was -the- highest in the world), but if a certain peak had a local name, that name would be used in place of letters and numbers. "K1", simply meant the first prominent peak in the Khartoum range that the engineer was surveying(k2 being the second). There are several other "K" mountains , but only a few still are called by their -K- name.

When the British later found that K1 already had a local name, they switched it to that....Mt. Masherbrum.

A region near the equator can only have snow at altitudes above around 4,500 metres or 15,000 feet.

However, because of the lack of seasonality in temperature and limited seasonality in precipitation at the equator, once one reaches an altitude high enough for snow to stay on the ground for a day, it will become permanent and form glaciers. This is why the snow line actually decreases between the Tropics and the equator from around 6,000 to around 4,500 metres. No glacier exists closer to either Tropic than on Iztaccíhuatl (near Mexico City about 470 kilometres from the Tropic of Cancer) yet numerous glaciers exist closer to the equator in the Andes, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and a few African mountains.

True. Mountains can form when parts of the Earth's crust are uplifted along fault lines due to tectonic forces, such as when two tectonic plates collide or slide past each other.

No, the mountains on the moon are primarily formed by impact craters or volcanic activity, rather than plate tectonics. The moon does not have tectonic plates like Earth, so the geological processes that shape its surface differ from those on Earth.

August 27th, 1883. Series of blasts on the Island of Krakatoa blew the island apart and was one of the largest eruptions in history. The hot gases and rock (Pyroclastic flows) consumed ships as far as 40 kilometers away. The eruption generated tsunamis as high as 40 meters high that devestated nearby coastlines. The final death toll was 36,417. The sound of the final explosion was heard over 4,500 kilometer away and covered 1/13th of the Earth's surface.

The nearest city to Mount Teide is Puerto de la Cruz, located on the northern coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

In the Western Cordillera, you can enjoy activities such as hiking in the Rocky Mountains, exploring caves in British Columbia, skiing or snowboarding in Whistler, visiting hot springs in British Columbia, and taking scenic drives along the Pacific Coast Highway.

Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica is considered dormant. It last erupted in 2010, but is closely monitored for any signs of reactivation.

Mount St. Helens stood at approximately 9,677 feet (2,950 meters) above sea level before its catastrophic eruption on May 18, 1980. The eruption caused the mountain's summit height to decrease by about 1,300 feet (396 meters).

A mountain is taller than a hill. Mountains are typically taller, steeper, and have more prominence compared to hills, which are smaller and less elevated.

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world, with an elevation of 29,032 feet (8,848 meters) above sea level.
