Mountains

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.

Mount Rainer's coordinates are 46.8533 North, 121.7599 West

Mount Kelud is a stratovolcano, which is a type of volcano characterized by steep sides and a cone shape. It is located in Indonesia and is known for its explosive eruptions.

Mountains are formed through tectonic plate movements. When two tectonic plates push against each other, they can create folded and uplifted layers of rock, resulting in the formation of mountains. Additionally, volcanic activity can also contribute to mountain formation when magma pushes through the Earth's crust and solidifies.

Fog is a cloud in contact with the ground. Fog is defined as cloud which reduces visibility to less than 1 km, where as mist is that which reduces visibility to less than 2 km.

Fog forms when water vapor in the air at the surface begins to condense into liquid water. Fog normally occurs at a relative humidity of 100%. This can be achieved by either adding moisture to the air or dropping the ambient air temperature. Fog can form at lower humidities, and fog can sometimes not form with relative humidity at 100%. A reading of 100% relative humidity does not mean that the air can not hold any more moisture, but the air will then becomes known as supersaturated. Fog formation does require all of the elements that normal cloud formation requires with the most important being condensation nuclei. When the air is saturated, additional moisture tends to condense rather than staying in the air as vapor. Condensation nuclei must be present in the form of dust, aeresols, pollutants, etc. for the water to condense upon. When there are exceptional amounts of condensation nuclei present, especially hydroscopic (water seeking such as salt) then the water vapor may condense below 100% relative humidity.

Fog can form suddenly, and can dissipate just as rapidly, depending what side of the dewpoint the temperature is on. This phenomenon is known as Flash Fog and is the inspiration for an antiburglary device that stops burglars by filling the room with artificial fog.

Another type of formation also common is sea fog (also knows as salt fog or salty Fog). This is due to the peculiar effect of salt. Clouds of all types require minute hygroscopic particles upon which water vapor can condense. Over the ocean surface, the most common particles are salt from salt spray produced by breaking waves. Except in areas of storminess, the most common areas of breaking waves are located near coastlines, hence the greatest densities of airborne salt particles are there. Condensation on salt particles has been observed to occur at humidities as low as 70%, thus fog can occur even in relatively dry air in suitable locations such as the California coast. Typically, such lower humidity fog is preceded by a transparent mistiness along the coastline as condensation competes with evaporation, a phenomenon that is typically noticeable by beachgoers in the afternoon. Fog occasionally produces precipitation in the form of drizzle. Drizzle occurs when the humidity of fog attains 100% and the minute cloud droplets begin to coalesce into larger droplets. This can occur when the fog layer is lifted and cooled sufficiently, or when it is forcibly compressed from above. Drizzle becomes freezing drizzle when the temperature at the surface drops below the freezing point. The thickness of fog is largely determined by the altitude of the inversion boundary, which in coastal or oceanic locales is also the top of the marine layer, above which the airmass is warmer and drier. The inversion boundary varies its altitude primarily in response to the weight of the air above it which is measured in terms of atmospheric pressure. The marine layer and any fogbank it may contain will be "squashed" when the pressure is high, and conversely, may expand upwards when the pressure above it is lowering.

Mount Rainier is a stratovolcano, which is different from a shield volcano in that it is made up of layers of different types of lava and ash, creating a steeper profile. Shield volcanoes, in contrast, have a broad, gentle slope primarily made up of basaltic lava flows.

The wind blows the clouds over a human who is blowing up themountain for granite and the clouds rain and the human stops.

Wind doesn't really do much to mountains, it's possible it could start an avalanche.

Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in total from sea floor to summit.Even out of the sea and on land, Mauna Kea still is taller than Mount Everest.

• It is located in Alaska highest mountain peak in North America trust me its high!

There are a few ways this can happen. One is by continental collision. This occurs when two continental plates collide, thrusting the land upward. When the collision is over, the two plates will have been welded into one. The mountains will remain in place long after the collision has ended.

Another mechanism involves rifting. In this cases, a continent starts to pull part. This can produce mountains in two ways. First, blocks of crust sink down, forming valleys, while the areas of up high become mountainr ranges. Second, the resulting faults and thinning of the crust results in volcanic activity, which builds volcanic mountains.

Volcanic mountains can also form at hot spots, where upwelling in the mantle brings hot material to just under the crust, forming magma.

A somewhat unusual mechanism formed the Rocky Mountains. When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, it sinks into the mantle. In the process it forms volcanoes and mountain ranges, usually near the coast. However, a plate on the western side of North American slid down at an unusually shallow angle, dragging on the bottom of the continent, throwing up mountains far from the plate boundary.

Volcanoes produce a number of hazards depending on the type of volcano. Even a volcano that is not erupting can release toxic gasses and cause earthquakes, though major earthquakes are rare. Volcanoes with low-viscosity magma often produce lava flows that move downhill, burning what they come in contact with. Volcanoes with high-viscosity magma tend to erupt explosively. These eruptions produce volcanic ash, which consists of tiny shards of glass that can damage and clog the lungs, which can lead to a very painful death. The ash, which can fall like snow, is about as dense as concrete, which can cause roofs to collapse. The ash can also mix with water from rain or melting ice, forming dense mudflows called lahars. Finally, the greatest danger from these eruptions are pyroclastic flows. These are mixtures of hot ash, rock, and gas that race down the sides of a volcano at great speeds, destroying everything in their path.and causes acid rain .

Anything 500 ft or less above the base is considered a rolling plain.

Under 1000 ft is considered a hill.

And if the highest point is 1000 ft or more above the base, it's considered a mountain.

That depends on the size of the eruption and the wind speed and direction. In all likely hood, though, Seattle would not see much ashfall, as the prevailing winds would tend to carry the ash eastward, away from the city.

Cloud forests are misty rainforests located in the mountains, characterized by persistent cloud cover and high levels of moisture. These unique ecosystems are often found at higher altitudes in tropical regions, supporting a diverse array of plant and animal species adapted to the cool, damp conditions.

No, a mountain is not a liquid. It is a large mass of solid rock and soil that rises high above the surrounding landscape. Liquids flow and take the shape of their container, while mountains are stationary and maintain their shape over time.

Usually any mountain with the Mount before it is a Volcano. Like Mount ST. Helens, Mt. Rainer, or Mt. McKliney

Consider Mount Kennedy, named for U.S. President John Kennedy, a 13,000 ft. peak in western Canada, (first climbed by his brother Robert in 1965.)

Mt. McKinley is forming by the continuing collision of enormous plates of the surface of the earth. Alaskan geology is complex; much of it's land area drifted across the Pacific Ocean and became Alaska when it ran into larger plates. Now the Pacific plate is moving northwesterly into and under various northern plates creating in Alaska and Canada the largest peaks in North America. Earthquake fault lines mark the plate boundaries.

Stone Mountain is located in NW Georgia near Atlanta.

Mt. Everest's landscape is how you would guess it to be, icy. Mt. Everest's bottom landscape is covered in snow and the top is forzen and extremely cold. I am not sure of the exact temeperature, but you would freeze to death if you stayed at the top for too long.

The boiling point of water decreases at higher altitudes because there is lower atmospheric pressure. As elevation increases, the air pressure decreases, which makes it easier for water molecules to escape into the air, lowering the boiling point.

Cindercone volcanoes are small, steep sided, narrow based, loosely packed cones made entirely of pyroclastic material from moderately explosive eruptions.
It's the classical and most common conically-shaped ("Triangular") form of volcano.

The land is a mix of sandy loam (blend of clay, sand, and organic matter) and clay. The blue ridge has the highest erosion rate in Georgia. The blue ridge is also considered to be the most beautiful, scenic region in Georgia.

the reason that roads "zigzag" while going up steep mountains is so that the incline is more gradual rather than being straight up. For example, if a mountain is 50 degrees up, that would be quite an incline for most vehicles, so they zigzag the roads so that each short portion of road goes up say 30 degrees, which is a much more reasonable incline for people and vehicles.

Mountain Ice bottled water typically contains purified water and added minerals. The specific mineral content can vary, but common ones include calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Additional trace minerals may also be present depending on the source of the water.
