Mountains

Rajastan and gujarat are drought-prone because the monsoon winds which are completly drained by the time they reach them. the leeward side of the western ghats is drought prone as the western ghats block the rain bearing winds from reaching it.

A skier at the top of the mountain has potential energy, which is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. As the skier moves downhill, potential energy is gradually converted into kinetic energy, the energy of motion.

Yes, Ojos del Salado is considered an active volcano, although it has not erupted for many thousands of years. It is one of the highest volcanoes in the world, located on the border between Chile and Argentina.

The mountains on Hawaii were formed through volcanic activity. As the Pacific tectonic plate moved over a hotspot in the Earth's mantle, magma rose to the surface and formed new land. Over time, repeated volcanic eruptions created the mountainous landscape we see today on the Hawaiian Islands.

The windward side of a mountain is typically the west side of the mountain, receiving the various weather as weather moves west to east. The leeward side of a mountain opposes the windward side, making it the east side of the mountain, receiving little weather, blocking weather (rain) and warming air rapidly as it moves down this side of the mountain. The leeward side of mountains causes deserts, dry places, little rain, etc., for it releases warm air unto these places, and blocks weather (rain) from moistening them (I.E. Las Vegas, etc. on the eastern side of the mountain ranges).

As the air is forced to rise over the mountain range, it undergoes adiabatic cooling, leading to the condensation of water vapor and the formation of clouds and precipitation on the windward side of the mountain. This process is known as orographic lifting and can result in enhanced rainfall on the windward side and a rain shadow effect on the leeward side of the mountain.

...some mountains that I am trying to find out what they are called using this website and I can't seem to find it. I think I just found it on a map though; and I think they are called the Atlas Mountains, but I am not sure. I do know that scientists say that Africa collided with Europe millions of years ago and it's named after that guy they say holds the world on his shoulders. Also it's highest peek is Mount Toubka. Hope that helps.=]

Yes you can. The fact that one is in Japan and Mount Everest is in Nepal or close to the Himalayas. Another big thing is that Mt. Fuji has never killed anyone according to recorded evidence. the only main simalarity of the two that I know of is that both are really big.

Mount McKinley in Alaska's Denali National Park and Preserve is the highest mountain in North America. The latitude of Mount McKinley is 63 degrees, 4 minutes, and 10 seconds North. The longitude of Mount McKinley is 151 degrees, 27 seconds West.

The Caribbean Plate subducted beneath the North American Plate, leading to the volcanic eruption of Mount Pelée in 1902 on the island of Martinique. This event resulted in one of the deadliest volcanic eruptions in the 20th century, devastating the town of St. Pierre and killing nearly 30,000 people.

Mount Kilimanjaro is snow-capped year-round due to its high elevation, which reaches over 19,000 feet. The high altitude creates a cold climate at the summit despite its location near the equator. Additionally, the mountain's glaciers receive moisture from the surrounding clouds, allowing them to persist even in the warmer months.

The weight of a stone at the top of a mountain is less than at its bottom because the gravitational force decreases with distance from the center of the Earth. Therefore, at higher altitudes, the force of gravity pulling the stone towards the center of the Earth is slightly weaker, resulting in a lower weight reading on a scale.

Mount Washington is known for having some of the strongest and most erratic winds on Earth. The peak experiences frequent hurricane-force winds, with the highest recorded wind speed of 231 mph (371 km/h) in 1934. Wind gusts exceeding 100 mph are common, making it a challenging environment for climbers and researchers.

Mount Pelee Volcano is located on the island of Martinique, which is an overseas region of France in the Caribbean Sea. It is known for its devastating eruption in 1902 that destroyed the town of Saint-Pierre.

Living in fold mountains provides access to stunning natural landscapes and opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, and mountaineering. These regions often have unique biodiversity, offering a chance to experience diverse flora and fauna. Additionally, living in fold mountains can provide a peaceful and tranquil environment, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The first recorded ascent of Mauna Kea by a Westerner was in 1823 by James Macrae, a Scottish botanist. However, it is important to note that Mauna Kea has been a sacred site for native Hawaiians long before Western contact.

The largest forest in Slovenia is the Kočevje Forest, which covers an area of about 58,000 hectares in the southern part of the country. This forest is known for its diverse wildlife and pristine natural environment.

Oregon's highest elevation is on top of Mt. Hood with an elevation of 11,240 feet (3,426 meters) based on a 1993 scientific expedition of the mountain, and Mt. Hood it situated about 50 miles (80.5 kilometers) east-southeast of the Oregon's most populous city, Portland.

People continued living near Mount St. Helens due to economic reasons (jobs, livelihoods), lack of immediate danger perception, attachment to their homes, and optimism that the volcano wouldn't erupt again. Additionally, some people may not have had the means or resources to relocate.

The only survivor of the Mount Pelee eruption in 1902 was a prisoner named Ludger Sylbaris. He was in a poorly ventilated and windowless cell at the time of the eruption, which protected him from the deadly pyroclastic flow.

The land between the Coastal Plain and the Appalachian Mountains is called the Piedmont region. It is characterized by rolling hills and valleys, and is known for its fertile soil and diverse ecosystems.

Atmospheric pressure is a measure of the amount of air pressing down on the earth. This would be highest at the surface of the earth. At 5000 meters, there are 5000 meters of air below you, so that is considerably less air.

The Appalachian mountains were formed by the collision of the North American plate and the African plate during the formation of the supercontinent Pangaea. This collision resulted in the uplift and folding of the crust, creating the mountain range.

Mount Llullaillaco is located in the Andes mountain range on the border between Chile and Argentina. It is one of the highest peaks in the Andes, reaching an elevation of 22,110 feet (6,739 meters) above sea level. The mountain is known for its significant archaeological findings, including the highest ancient burial site in the world.
