Mountains

Before the huge eruption on May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens was 9,677 feet. After the eruption, Mount St. Helens was 8,363 feet. A total for 1,314 feet was removed by the May 18th eruption.

The average amount of precipitation the Mountain states receive in a year can vary greatly depending on the specific state and location within the state. On average, mountain states like Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming can receive anywhere from 10 to 20 inches of precipitation per year, with some areas having higher amounts due to elevation and topography. However, some more arid regions in these states may receive less than 10 inches per year.

The observed temperature during distillation on top of a mountain would generally be lower than at sea level due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure with altitude. This would result in a lower boiling point for the liquid being distilled, potentially impacting the efficiency and rate of distillation. It is important to consider the atmospheric conditions and make adjustments to the distillation process to compensate for the lower boiling point.

The average temperature in the North Carolina Piedmont region typically ranges from 55°F to 75°F throughout the year. However, temperatures can vary depending on the season and specific location within the region.

There is no specific species known as the Rocky Mountain Turtle, but turtles can be found in the Rocky Mountain region of North America. Some common species found in this area include painted turtles, snapping turtles, and western pond turtles.

A mountain that blows its top is a volcano, which can erupt explosively, expelling lava, ash, and gases from its summit. This type of eruption can be destructive and pose risks to surrounding areas.

It would be difficult to cook an egg to a hardboiled stage at the top of a mountain because water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes due to the lower air pressure. This means it would take longer to heat the water to a high enough temperature to cook the egg thoroughly.

Kenya has snow-tipped mountains such as Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro due to their high elevation and the presence of glaciers at the peaks. These mountains are located near the equator, but their elevation creates colder temperatures at the summit, allowing snow to accumulate.

Lassen Peak was created through volcanic activity, specifically from a series of eruptions that occurred between 1914-1917. These eruptions resulted in the formation of a lava dome that grew on top of older volcanic material. Over time, the volcanic activity at Lassen Peak has shaped the landscape of the area and continues to be monitored for potential future eruptions.

The Western Ghats or the Sahyadri are the ranges of hills parallel to the western coast of India starting from Gujarat right upto Kerala. The ghats are hill ranges on the top of which starts the Deccan Plateau

Likewise the Eastern Ghats are the ranges of hills that raise from near the coast on the Eastern Coast of India.

Both the Western and Eastern Ghats are thickly forested and most part of these ghats have been declared as bio diversity hot spots of the world and are home to many species of birds, animals, insects and flora and fauna

The Ring of Fire surrounding the Pacific Ocean basin is the site of roughly 75% of the Earth's volcanoes, active and dormant, and includes examples of all the known types. The 4 basic volcanic types are (1) Cinder Cones; (2) Composite Volcanoes, also called Stratovolcanoes; (3) Shield Volcanoes; and (4) Lava Domes. While most volcanic activity results in the formation of mountainous terrain, there are also volcanic lava flows that spill into valleys or into the ocean without forming the tall geological forms usually associated with the word "volcano".

Mauna Loa is the largest mountain in the world and is located in Hawaii, USA. Mt. Everest is the highestmountain in the world, and it is located on the Nepal-China border.

There is considerable debate as to which mountain and/or mountain range has the lowest recorded temperature. Unofficial recordings on Denali (also known as Mt. McKinley), which is in the Alaska Range has temperatures of -100° F, while K2, which is in the Karakoram Range has had temperatures as low as -80° F. Alaska Range is located in Alaska and Karakoram Range is located on the borders of Pakistan, China and India.

Marine fossils form when creatures die and sink to the bottom where there is little oxygen, and are covered with sediment. If sediment continues to accumulate, after many years its weight will crush the deposit, and in combination with well known chemical processes, can cement it into sandstone. Later, if the sea floor it lifted by any of a number of (again, well understood) geological processes, what was once the sea floor can become part of a mountain. Such a mountain can form in a few million years, where fossils have been forming for 3 BILLION years.

Some shoulders may appear pointier due to variations in muscle development, genetics, or skeletal structure. Factors such as muscle mass, posture, and body composition can influence the shape and appearance of the shoulders. Additionally, some individuals may have naturally more angular or defined shoulder structures.

A secondary peak can form from a volcano due to the accumulation of lava and volcanic materials over time, creating a new vent or cone separate from the main crater. This can occur when there are multiple eruptive centers within the same volcanic system, resulting in the creation of additional peaks or domes.

Mount Everest spans several climate zones due to its varying elevations. The base of the mountain falls within the subtropical zone, characterized by warm and humid conditions. As one ascends higher, the climate transitions through temperate, subarctic, and finally into an arctic climate zone near the summit, known for its severe cold and high winds.

It is most commonly crushed for use as an aggregate in construction projects. Crushed basalt is used for road base, concrete aggregate, asphalt pavement aggregate, railroad ballast, and filter stone in drain fields. Basalt is also cut into dimension stone. Thin slabs of basalt are cut and sometimes polished for use as floor tiles, building veneer, monuments and other stone objects.

One animal that lives in the mountains is the mountain goat. They are well adapted to living in rugged, rocky terrain at high altitudes. Their thick coat and specialized hooves help them navigate steep slopes and rocky cliffs.

The Zagros mountain range is located east of the Tigris River in the southwestern part of Iran. The Zagros range stretches from northwestern Iran to southern Iran and is known for its steep slopes, deep valleys, and rich biodiversity.

A mountain breeze is a local wind pattern that occurs in mountainous areas. During the day, air at higher elevations becomes warmer and rises, creating a breeze that flows downhill towards lower elevations. At night, the process reverses as the air at lower elevations cools and sinks, creating a breeze that flows uphill.

Volcanoes are generally found where two or more tectonic plates diverge or converge. The mid-oceanic ridges, like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, are typical examples of divergent tectonic plates where volcanoes are formed, whereas the Pacific Ring of Fire is a typical example of volcanic activity on convergent tectonic plates. Where two tectonic plates slide past one another (like the San Andreas fault) volcanic activity is generally not found.

Volcanic activity can also occur due to mantle plumes, the so-called hotspots, which occur at locations far from plate boundaries; hotspot volcanoes are also found elsewhere in the solar system, especially on its rocky planets and moons.
