Mountains

I believe you are referring to strip mining. In parts of Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia, entire mountaintops have been shorn off in order to easily get to the coal lying beneath them. A drive up I-75 from Knoxville, TN to Lexington, KY reveals many such examples of strip mining wherein the hills and mountains once had rounded tops, but are now flat on top.

The Tibetan Plateau is located north of Nepal. It is sometimes referred to as the "roof of the world" and is the highest and largest plateau in the world, covering around 970,000 square miles.

The Andes are an extension of the North American Rocky Mountains and the South American mountains that continue up through Central America.

Mount St. Helens is a living laboratory of volcanic study and the most studied volcano in the world. The USGS has been studying the volcano for over 30 years and lessons they have learned have saved many lives across the globe with their volcanic prediction science. For more Mount St. Helens trivia, information or travel planner see the Mount St. Helens Information Resource site at www.MountStHelens.com

Mount Pelée, a volcano in Martinique, is estimated to be less than 500,000 years old based on the age of the rocks surrounding it. It is considered a relatively young volcano in geological terms.

Mount Kilimanjaro is located in the east region.

yes, because it is a compostite volcano, its geolgical setting is convergent plate boundaries

The Rocky Mountains attract millions of tourists each year. Popular national parks such as Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado and Banff National Park in Canada draw a significant number of visitors looking to experience the natural beauty of the area.

The Andes mountain range stretches over 7,000 km along the western coast of South America, crossing through seven countries. Therefore, the longitude and latitude values of the Andes vary significantly depending on the specific location you are referring to.

Yes, but not with any noticeable difference.

The reason behind this is that gravity pulls the center of each object together.

The farther away the centers are, the less effect gravity has on the objects. The closer the centers are, the greater the gravity.

Mount St. Helens was already known to Native Americans before being "discovered" by European settlers. However, the first European to document the mountain was British explorer George Vancouver in 1792.

The highest elevation in the US is the summit of Mount Denali (also known as Mount McKinley) in Alaska, which reaches an elevation of 20,310 feet (6,194 meters) above sea level.

Central Asia's location, situated along the historic Silk Road trade routes, allowed for the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures between East and West. This facilitated the development of diverse settlements and the spread of various civilizations and empires in the region. Additionally, central Asia's vast steppes, mountains, and deserts influenced the patterns of settlement and nomadic lifestyles of its inhabitants.

Mount Denali is in the United States, specifically in the state of Alaska. It is the highest mountain peak in North America.

Denali, also known as Mount McKinley, is located in North America, specifically in the state of Alaska in the United States. It is the highest mountain peak in North America.

Yes, a highland is generally an upland area with elevated terrain but with less rugged features compared to a mountain. Highland areas typically have rounded summits and rolling topography, making them more gently sloped and less steep than mountains.

No it is not an extinct volcano. The presidential range of the NH's White Mountains were created due to intense pressure due to the shifting of continental plates millions of years ago. And then later sculpted by sheets of ice and glaciers. Though most of the White Mountains of NH consist of a non-volcanic "igneous granite," Mount Washington and the majority of the presidential range is made mostly from metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss and other minerals. There are however areas of a more volcanic igneous rock "not a volcano" in parts of the NH region extending all the way up through Montreal Quebec Canada". See Monterigian Hills" Which were created by crystallized or hardened magma that forced it's way up through the sedimentary rock. "A product of volcanic activity deep in the earths crust" that show themselves as singular "buttes" in areas where there shouldn't be hills of any type. Mount Pawtuckaway in Southern NH is an example of this. This is where magma didn't quite make it through the surface of the earth but cooled and formed a very resilient Igneous rock which over the course of millions of years shows itself as a singular hill or mountain while the less robust "sedimentary rock" disappears around it do to natural erosion.

k2 belongs to Karakoram ranges of Himalayas in India.it is the 2nd highest peak of the world , 8611m above the sea level

The story of Cape Town must begin with Table Mountain. The mountain creates a rain shadow, providing rain and the streams that flow in its valleys. Small forests grow in the ravines and the mountain provides shelter. Soil has developed on the mountain slopes, in contrast to the sandy plains beyond. Without these vital elements the area would would not have attracted human settlement.

Olympus mons is the tallest mountain Known to man. It is located on mars and is an extinct volcano which once had black lava.

The volcanic soils of Mount Rainier are rich in minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, and calcium, making them fertile for agriculture. They support a variety of crops including berries, vegetables, and flowers. However, the steep terrain and unpredictable volcanic activity present challenges for agricultural activities in the region.

No, Mount St. Helens is not a cinder cone but a stratovolcano. Stratovolcanoes have a steep profile and are built up by layers of lava, ash, and other volcanic materials. Cinder cones are smaller, simpler volcanoes formed by the accumulation of ejected cinders and volcanic ash around a single vent.

Highland areas are typically characterized by high elevation, cooler temperatures, and rugged terrain. They are often home to unique flora and fauna adaptations to the challenging environment. Highland areas can provide important ecosystem services such as water regulation and carbon sequestration. They are also popular destinations for outdoor recreation and tourism.

Well, honey, a product found in five states could be anything from a tasty new snack to a questionable hair growth serum. Without more details, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack while blindfolded. So, good luck with your mystery product hunt!

There are several locations known as Sand Mountain in the United States, including in Alabama, Nevada, and Utah. Sand Mountain in Alabama is a popular location for off-road vehicle enthusiasts, while Sand Mountain in Nevada is known for its sand dunes. Sand Mountain in Utah is part of the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park.
