Mountains

It's difficult to be precise, but the oldest rocks found, give an age of about 593,000 years.

Yes, there are volcanoes in South Africa, with the most well-known being in the Drakensberg region. These volcanic formations are part of the Cape Volcanic Belt, which includes various volcanic structures.

About 150 million years ago, a tectonic plate drifted over from Asia and crashed into the Arctic basin. This movement created the immense pressure necessary to push up the a Brooks range in Alaska.

An example of a plateau in the Philippines is Mountain Province. Another plateau in the Philippines is Kalinga-Apayao in Luzon. Another plateau in the Philippines is Lanao del Norte and in Mindanao.

In the Greek mythology, Mount Olympus is symbolically the home of the Twelve Olympians, the principal gods in the Greek pantheon.

Mt St Helen erupted in 1980 the ash cloud could be seen miles away. Thirty four years later and the mountain and surround area are recovering. The forest that surrounded the mountain will take centuries to completely recover.

Having avenues run north-south and streets run east-west helps with navigation and orientation in a city grid system. It makes it easier to determine which direction you are facing and simplifies giving and following directions. This layout also aids in urban planning and organizing city infrastructure efficiently.

The British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a unit of energy used in the United States to measure heating and cooling capacities. It represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. BTUs are commonly used in the HVAC industry to determine the size and efficiency of heating and cooling systems.

Some mountains around the Great Plains include the Rocky Mountains to the west, the Black Hills in South Dakota, and the Ozark Mountains in Missouri and Arkansas. These mountain ranges border the Great Plains and provide a stark contrast to the otherwise flat landscape.

The main types of volcanoes are stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and lava dome volcanoes. Stratovolcanoes have steep slopes due to the alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and other volcanic debris. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes due to the low-viscosity lava flows. Cinder cone volcanoes are small and steep-sided, formed from explosive eruptions. Lava dome volcanoes are formed from slow, viscous lava flows piling up near the vent.

The most recent eruption of Mauna Loa was in 1984. There have been several instances of increased seismic activity and ground deformation since then, but no eruptions. Mauna Loa is constantly monitored for any signs of potential eruption.

The Ethiopian Highlands are located in northern Ethiopia, covering much of the country's central and western regions. This rugged mountainous area includes peaks reaching over 4,500 meters above sea level and is known for its diverse flora and fauna.

A plateau is lower than a plain. <(._.<) (>._.)>

Mountains offer many important benefits for an economy. The products that are produced within a mountain such as coal, precious metals, and gemstones which are sold bring in great deals of money to keep an economy going.

Mount Wycheproof is a mountain located near the small town of Wycheproof, Australia. Standing at 43 metres (141 ft) above the surrounding terrain, Mount Wycheproof has the distinction of being the smallest registered mountain in the world.[1] The township of Wycheproof is located on the mountain, and a unique geological substance known as Wycheproofite is exclusive to the local area.

The early eruptive stages of Mount St. Helens are known as the "Ape Canyon Stage" (around 40-35,000 years ago), the "Cougar Stage" (ca. 20-18,000 years ago), and the "Swift Creek Stage" (roughly 13-8,000 years ago.

Rocky debris refers to small pieces of rocks, stones, or gravel that have eroded or broken off larger formations over time. They can be found in various natural environments such as river beds, mountainsides, or coastlines. Rocky debris can result from weathering processes, geological events, or human activities.

Mount St. Helens has erupted twice in recent history. The most significant eruption occurred on May 18, 1980, resulting in the loss of 57 lives and widespread destruction. The volcano also had a smaller eruption in 2004-2008 as part of a reactivation period.

as the air rises to cross the mountains it is cooled and is able to hold less moisture

so it drops in the form of rain. when the air reaches lower areas there is more moisture to make less rain.

In an ocean-continent convergence, the collision of ocean and continental crust causes the accretion of marine sedimentary deposits to the edge of the continent. These sediments, then, are forced up through normal mountain building orogenic uplift and compression (and faulting). In another method, as the underlying oceanic crust area of a plate tips down at a subduction zone, its ocean-floor sediment can be scraped off along the front edge of the overriding continental plate. The result is an increase in the width and thickness of the overriding plate, and thus, a mountain range. This is seen well at the convergence of the Nazca plate and South American plate (Peru-Chile Trench or Atacama Trench) forming the Andes Mountains - which are actually originally volcanic in origin, but are being buttressed by the new sediments.

usally bricks doen't grow, but since stuff gets all over it looks like it grows.

You have it backwards. Air pressure is the caused by the weight of the column of air pressing down on people or objects near the surface. Pressure is greatest at (or below sea level) and decreases with altitude (for the simple reason that the higher you climb, the less air is above you).

Because water is about 1,000 times denser than air, the weight of air at sea level is about equal to 33 feet of water. This is why divers experience about one adtmosphere for every 33 feet they dive.

Mauna Loa (4,169 m (13,678 ft)) is the largestmountain in the world in terms of base area (about 2,000 sq mi/5,200 km2) and volume (about 10,000 cu mi/42,000 km3). It is mostly submerged in the Pacific Ocean and is located in Hawaii, USA.

The major mountain ranges in the US and Canada extend from north to south.
