Mountains

Mt. Everest is the tallest mountain in the world.

Mount Shasta stands at 14,179 feet tall.

Mount Citlaltepetl, also known as Pico de Orizaba, is the tallest mountain in Mexico and the third tallest in North America. It stands at an impressive height of 18,491 feet (5,636 meters) above sea level.

Temperatures drop as you gain altitude due to the decrease in air pressure at higher elevations. As air pressure decreases, the air molecules are spread out, causing them to have less energy and thus less heat. This leads to colder temperatures at higher altitudes, such as in the highest mountains.

Dome Mountain (Canada) is 2,031 m (6,663 ft) high.

The largest mountain range on Venus is called the Maxwell Montes. It is located on the planet's highest continent, Ishtar Terra, and includes the highest peak on Venus, which rises about 11 kilometers (7 miles) above the planet's average surface elevation.

Mauna Kea in Hawaii is the tallest mountain in the world from base to summit, when measured from the sea floor level. It rises about 10,203 meters (33,474 feet) from its base on the ocean floor to its summit.

The dormant stratovolcano Citlaltépetl (also known as Pico de Orizaba) is in south central Mexico approximately 75 miles (110 km) west of Veracruz. With an elevation of 18,490 feet (5636 m), it is the tallest mountain in Central America and the third tallest in continental North America.

Mount Aconcagua is the highest peak in the Andes mountain range and the highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere, standing at 22,841 feet (6,962 meters) tall. It is located in the Mendoza province of Argentina near the border with Chile. Mount Aconcagua is a popular destination for climbers seeking to test their skills and endurance at high altitude.

Yu-Shan is called Jade Mountain due to its majestic and mysterious appearance, resembling a giant mountain made of jade. The name reflects the celestial and divine nature of Yu-Shan as the home of the gods in Chinese mythology. Additionally, jade holds great significance in Chinese culture as a symbol of purity, beauty, and immortality.

Folded mountains typically form over millions of years through the compression and deformation of Earth's crust due to tectonic plate movements. The process involves immense pressure and heat that slowly folds and uplifts the crust to create mountain ranges.

Mt Dhaulagiri is 26794 feet (8167 metres) tall.

The Himalayas were formed at a convergent plate margin where the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate. This collision resulted in the uplift of the Himalayan mountain range.

The AS curve has three ranges because of different levels of responsiveness of output to changes in price level. In the short run, firms may not be able to adjust prices quickly, leading to a horizontal range. In the intermediate range, firms can adjust prices and output, resulting in a positive sloping range. In the long run, all inputs can be adjusted, leading to a vertical range.

Mount Everest is approximately 29,032 feet (8,848 meters) above sea level.

The average temperature in the Himalayan mountains varies greatly depending on the region and altitude. In general, temperatures can range from below freezing at higher elevations to more moderate temperatures at lower altitudes. Overall, the average temperature in the Himalayas is around 10°C (50°F) but can be much colder at higher elevations.

There are over 25 recognized extinct volcanoes in the Cascade Range in the Pacific Northwest. Some examples include Black Butte, Mount Bachelor, and Mount Mazama (which collapsed to form Crater Lake).

Mount Rainier stands at 14,411 feet (4,392 meters) above sea level, making it the tallest volcano in the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest.

When two continental plates collide, one has to give and the other rises over the first. It there are fossils in this material, it can be pushed to the highest peaks of mountains. Evidence of this is found in the grand canyon where fossils of ocean creatures anr found many thousands of feet above sea level.

Zambia's main mountain range is the Muchinga Mountains, located in the northeast part of the country. These mountains run parallel to the Great Rift Valley and are known for their scenic beauty and biodiversity. They are home to various wildlife and vegetation, making them a popular destination for nature enthusiasts.

Volcanoes are places where the melted or molten part of the earth is squeezed out onto the surface. Some volcanoes are more gentle, and the lava, or molten rock, oozes out without exploding. Hawaiian volcanoes are this sort. Other volcanoes are very explosive, sometimes blowing off their entire tops in one huge eruption, like Mt. St. Helens in the US. Volcanoes build up into mountains because as the lava flows out, it hardens into rock. The more lava that comes out, the higher the rock pile!

The tallest mountain in Ni'ihau is Paniau, which stands at an elevation of 1,283 feet (391 meters) above sea level. It is located in the northwestern part of the island.

Mount Kilimanjaro experiences varying levels of precipitation depending on the altitude. The lower slopes receive more annual precipitation, around 1000-2000mm, while the summit is typically drier with only around 100-200mm of annual precipitation.

But mountain ranges on continents do sink into the soft asthenosphere! They sink more than their continent but they still float on the heavier material beneath. A large tall cruse ship (mountain) will sit much deeper in the water than a flat barge (a continent). Still, the large cruse ship will float in the more dense material underneath. Just as the water has a greater density than the large cruise ship, the asthenosphere still has a greater density than the mountain range.
