Mountains

Forces inside the Earth pushing the crust upward form folded mountains. These mountains are created when rock layers are compressed and pushed together, leading to the formation of folds and uplifted mountain ranges. Examples of folded mountains include the Himalayas and the Appalachian Mountains.

Mount Shasta formed as a result of subduction, where the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate dives beneath the North American plate, causing magma to rise and create the volcano. It is a prominent feature in the Cascade Range due to its explosive past eruptions and steep slopes.

Wind on top of hills and mountains is caused by the difference in temperature and pressure between higher and lower elevations. As the air flows from high to low pressure areas, it speeds up due to the reduced friction at higher elevations. Additionally, topographic features can channel and accelerate the wind, creating stronger gusts on hills and mountains.

The higher the elevation the lower the air pressure. Sea level is considered the standard for air pressure measurement.

The man on the top of a mountain would have potential energy due to his elevated position. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy if the man moves down the mountain.

Mt.Rainer is yes a very violent volcano. hi i am Emily and i am eleven and i go to lake castle private school. i am young but i do know alot. people come on here and think they know everything. i don't mean to be a snob but they so.

if you do research like i did u would really know. i took the last four years researching this extraordinary volcano. i have been to Washington and have touched it it is cold not hot like i expected. the last eruption was December 1894 many people were killed by the ash and dust. but many were chocked to death because of the percentage of acid reflex in the air and the ash has take in over. this volcano is still active. so you would say this is a very violent valcaono. it is composite and it is a stratavalcano. it formed from other valcones building from there igneous rock and mud and clay to form this huge massive valcanao. you can tell it has erupted many times by its enormis size.

2000 houses weree killed or bulldozed :( :O

The gas in Sprite, Pepsi, and Cola is typically carbon dioxide, which provides the carbonation or fizz in the drinks. Mountain Dew also contains carbon dioxide, along with additional ingredients for its unique flavor.

Water flows in mountains due to gravity. When it rains or snows, the water collects at higher elevations and flows downhill, following the path of least resistance, forming streams and rivers as it travels. The steep slopes and rugged terrain of mountains provide ideal conditions for water to flow quickly and erode the landscape, creating valleys and canyons over time.

The Eurasian mountain ranges include the Alps, the Caucasus Mountains, the Ural Mountains, the Carpathian Mountains, and the Tien Shan Mountains. These mountain ranges span across Europe and Asia, providing diverse landscapes and habitats.

The five highest mountains in the world are:

Mount Everest 8,848m

K2 8,611m

Kangchenjunga 8,586m

Lhotse 8,516m

Makalu 8,485m

Mount Terror is a stratovolcano, which is a tall, conical volcano composed of layers of hardened lava, tephra, and volcanic ash. It is located in Antarctica and is part of the active volcano chain known as the Terror Rift.

The collision of the North American Plate and the African Plate helped create the Appalachian Mountains around 480 million years ago during the Ordovician Period. This collision resulted in the folding and uplifting of the Earth's crust, forming the mountain range we see today on the eastern coast of North America.

Yes, Mount Vesuvius is both a volcano and a mountain. It is most famous for its eruption in AD 79 that destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Today, it is still an active volcano located in Italy.

Mount Pelee erupted on May 8, 1902. The eruption devastated the city of Saint-Pierre on the Caribbean island of Martinique, resulting in the loss of almost all of its 30,000 inhabitants.

Yes, Mt. Everest is generally colder than the North Pole. The North Pole can have milder temperatures due to the presence of the Arctic Ocean and surrounding ice, while Everest's high altitude and thin air make it much colder.

Isostasy itself isn't a type of stress. Restoring isostasy, however, puts stress on the crust. Allow me to explain:

Isostasy is the process of the earth's crust floating on the mantle. When the crust suddenly gets heavier (this happens during an ice age close to the poles, the weight of the ice pushing the crust down), the crust will sink deeper into the mantle. This process is called "restoring the isostasy". The isostasy is reached when the upward force from the mantle (the buoyant force) and the downward force from the crust (gravity) are in balance again.

When an ice age ends, the isostasy will be disrupted again, because all the weight of the ice on the crust will be gone. The crust will start to rise again, using the same forces as before, but in a reverse way. This process is still going on in Scandinavia, where the crust is still lifting up from the last ice age. As with all geological processes, restoring isostasy isn't fast: it can take thousands of years to restore the isostasy.

Analog to the isostacy (but a lot quicker), is when you push down an icecube in a glass of water. The icecube will get lower into the water, as you push it down. but it will push back, because it's lighter then the water, and the buoyant force tries to make it float as good as possible. When it doesn't move anymore, it means the buoyant force and the force you are applying with your finger are in balance, and isostasy is reached.

Fault-block mountains are associated with normal faults, where blocks of crust are uplifted along one side of the fault while the other side drops down. As the movement along the fault continues, it can lead to the formation of a mountain range with steep slopes on one side and gentler slopes on the other.

1. Mount Mitchell in North Carolina at 6,684 feet.
2. Mount Craig in North Carolina at 6,647 feet.
3. Clingmans Dome in Tennessee at 6,643 feet.
4. Mount Guyot in Tennessee at 6,621 feet.
5. Mount Le Conte in Tennessee at 6,593 feet.

Mount Vesuvius is located at a convergent plate boundary where the African Plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction leads to the build-up of pressure and the formation of magma that eventually erupts to create the volcano.

After the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelee in Martinique, the city of Saint-Pierre was largely destroyed. The town was eventually rebuilt, but it never regained its former prominence. The surrounding areas also experienced ecosystem recovery and regrowth over time.

Mount Pelee, located in Martinique, is an active volcano and is known for its stunning natural beauty, making it a popular tourist destination. However, its volcanic activity also poses a risk to the surrounding area.
