Mountains

Air pressure is greater at sea level compared to on a mountaintop. This is because the weight of the air above exerts more pressure at lower elevations. As you go higher in elevation, the air becomes less dense, leading to lower air pressure.

yes it was nicknamed "loo-wit" (meaning lady of fire) by the cowlitz people

At high altitudes like Mauna Kea, visitors may experience symptoms of altitude sickness such as headache, nausea, and fatigue due to lower oxygen levels. It is important to acclimatize gradually by spending time at lower elevations before ascending to the summit. Additionally, extreme weather conditions can pose a threat, so it is important to prepare with appropriate gear and dress in layers.

As a student climbs up a mountain range, atmospheric pressure decreases. This is because there is less air above them exerting pressure as they gain elevation. The change in pressure can lead to discomfort and even altitude sickness if the ascent is too rapid.

when two plates on the earth's crust diverge or get pulled apart , fracture appear on the earth's surface. these fracture are called faults.when two faults are formed along each other , large areas get displaced vertically along the two fault lines the land between the faults lines either subsides or rise these mountains are called block mountains

Air pressure decreases as you move from the bottom of a mountain to its summit. At higher altitudes, there is less air above pushing down on the air below, causing the air pressure to decrease. This decrease in pressure can lead to various physiological effects on the body.

As the air moves down the leeward side of a mountain, it gets compressed due to higher pressure at lower altitudes. This compression leads to increased temperature and decreased relative humidity, causing the air to warm up and dry out. This process is known as the Foehn effect.

In order for a folded mountain to form, two tectonic plates must collide and push against each other, causing the Earth's crust to buckle and fold. This process, known as orogenesis, typically occurs where two plates converge in a convergent boundary. The rocks in the crust are compressed and pushed upward, forming the folded mountain range over millions of years.

As you ascend a mountain, the temperature typically decreases at a rate known as the lapse rate. On average, the temperature drops by about 3.5°F for every 1,000 feet of elevation gain. This is because the air becomes less dense at higher altitudes, leading to less heat being retained.

Where the plate of the earth collide and pull apart.

The only other places volcanoes occur is above hot spots

The snow-capped mountains in South America are mainly found in the Andes mountain range, which runs along the western side of the continent. Some of the highest peaks with permanent snow cover include Aconcagua in Argentina, Huascarán in Peru, and Chimborazo in Ecuador.

Mount Kilimanjaro, located in Tanzania, is an isolated peak rising above the savanna. It is the highest mountain in Africa and a dormant volcano. Kilimanjaro is a popular destination for climbers and trekkers due to its unique position and stunning views from the summit.

The highest mountain in Iraq is Mount Halgurd, which stands at an elevation of 3,607 meters (11,834 feet) above sea level. It is located in the Zagros Mountains in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

The Acadian arc system impacted the North American Continent (Laurentia) along the eastern seaboard. This collision along with that of the earlier Taconic arc system resulted in the creation of the Appalachian and Ouachita orogeny's.

Yes, Cuyamaca Mountain can receive snow during the winter months. Snowfall levels can vary from year to year and typically occur at higher elevations. Be sure to check current weather conditions and snowfall predictions before visiting.

Some volcanoes similar to Mount Rainier in terms of being stratovolcanoes and having the potential for lahars are Mount Hood in Oregon and Mount Shasta in California. Both of these volcanoes are located in the Cascade Range like Mount Rainier and have a history of producing explosive eruptions.

The boot-shaped country in the Mediterranean Sea where Mount Vesuvius and Mount Etna are found is Italy. Italy is known for its volcanic activity, with Mount Vesuvius near Naples and Mount Etna in Sicily being two of its most famous volcanoes.

Yes it does at the tops and sometimes it even snows in summer. It snowed the night before my sister's wedding in August at Lake Louise.

The environmental lapse rate is used to calculate temperature changes as elevation increases. On average, the lapse rate is around 3.5°F per 1,000 feet gained in elevation. As you ascend a mountain, the temperature typically drops due to a decrease in air pressure, leading to the air expanding and cooling.

The force that makes it difficult to climb a steep mountain is gravity. Gravity is pulling you down towards the ground, making it harder to overcome the incline and requiring more effort to ascend the steep slope.

As the air moves slowly towards the leeward side of a mountain, it descends and warms up due to compression. This warming leads to an increase in temperature and a decrease in relative humidity, causing the cloud formation to dissipate. The warmer air is able to hold more moisture, preventing the clouds from forming or persisting.

No, Blanc is not the tallest mountain in the world. Mount Everest is the tallest mountain, standing at 29,032 feet (8,848 meters) above sea level. Blanc is the highest peak in the Alps, at 15,774 feet (4,808 meters) above sea level.

yes it is a composite because it is the one of active volcano here in the Philippines...

isn't correct.

Mount St. Helens remains a potentially active and dangerous volcano, even though it is now (1995) quiescent. In the last 515 years, it is known to have produced 4 major explosive eruptions (each with at least 1 cubic kilometer of eruption deposits) and dozens of lesser eruptions. Two of the major eruptions were separated by only 2 years. One of those, in 1480 A.D., was about 5 times larger than the May 18, 1980 eruption, and even larger eruptions are known to have occurred during Mount St. Helens' brief but very active 50,000-year lifetime. Following the most recent major eruption, on May 18, 1980, there were 5 smaller explosive eruptions over a period of 5 months. Thereafter, a series of 16 dome-building eruptions through October 1986 constructed the new, 270-meter- (880-feet) high, lava dome in the crater formed by the May 18, 1980 eruption.
