Mountains

K2, or Chogori as it is locally known, is 8611 metres high.It sits on the border of Northern India and China,in the Karakoram Range of the Western Himilaya Mountains.

On a clear day, the view from the summit of Mount Everest can extend up to 200 miles (322 kilometers) in distance. However, weather conditions and atmospheric factors can greatly impact visibility, so the actual viewing distance may vary.

The mid-oceanic ridge system is the longest mountain range on Earth, running for over 65,000 kilometers (40,000 miles) through the oceans. It is above sea level at some points, such as Iceland, where it extends above the ocean surface.

Mount St. Helens is located along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, where the Juan de Fuca Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate. This subduction zone is a convergent plate boundary, resulting in the volcanic activity that built the mountain and led to its catastrophic eruption in 1980.

Clouds form because of the water cycle(evaporation, condensation, precipitation) mainly condensation. Because the water that evaporated, it condensated and formed into a cloud. CONDENTAION!!!!!!!

Sorry about the spelling. XD

Mauna Kea stands at approximately 13,796 feet (4,205 meters) above sea level. However, if you measure from its base on the ocean floor, it is over 33,500 feet (10,210 meters) tall, making it the tallest mountain in the world.

The other English name for K2 is Mount Godwin-Austen

The height of Mauna Kea is approximately 13,796 feet (4,205 meters) above sea level. However, if measured from its base on the ocean floor, it is over 33,000 feet (10,000 meters) tall, making it the tallest mountain on Earth.

Stromboli is named after the volcanic island located in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the north coast of Sicily. The island itself was named after the Greek word 'Strongulē,' which means "round swelling" or "whirlpool," likely due to the island's volcanic activity and unique shape.

Good question. The state that is the furthest east which would be the state of Maine. In the summer I would say Maine would see the sunrise first. However, in the winter, the further you go north, the later in the day the sun rises. So it may be seen earlier in a more southern state before it is seen in Maine. I'm not sure. I'm going to check it out. Check the local sunrise times for dec 21st (the day with the shortest daylight time of the year) in seacoast towns from Maine to Florida. It may surprise us.

Slide Mountain in New York has a latitude of approximately 41.9657° N and a longitude of about -74.3424° W.

Kilimanjaro's peak is always snowy and cold because it is located near the equator where temperatures are cooler at higher elevations. The snow is maintained by the glacier system on the mountain, which is sustained by the altitude and local weather patterns.

Mount Washington is exposed to strong winds due to its location in the path of prevailing westerly winds. The mountain's elevation and topography amplify the wind speeds as they are funneled and accelerated through the mountain's narrow valleys and over its summit. This unique combination of factors creates extreme wind conditions on Mount Washington.

The crater at Mount St. Helens is about 1.2 miles (1.9 km) in diameter. It was created during the catastrophic eruption in 1980, which also caused the summit of the mountain to collapse.

On a clear day with no obstructions, a person standing at a distance of around 200 km (about 125 miles) from Mt Everest can see the mountain with the naked eye due to its towering height of 8,848 meters (29,029 feet).

Mount Snowdon, located in Wales, has been known for centuries. The summit was reached by a medieval scholar named Thomas Johnson in 1639, making it one of the first mountains in the British Isles to have its peak documented.

The Bighorn Mountains got their name from the Bighorn sheep that inhabit the area. These majestic animals with large, curved horns are indigenous to the region and are well-known for their significance in the area's natural history and landscape.

Mount Hikurangi, located in the North Island of New Zealand, is known as the first place in the country to see the sunrise due to its eastern location and elevation. This makes it a popular spot to witness the first light of a new day in New Zealand.

About 25 to 20 million years old according to researchers at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama, the University of Potsdam in Germany and Ecopetrol in Colombia.

Even though sunspots are fiery white hot, they are somewhat cooler than the part of the Sun around them. When you inspect the Sun through a very dark filter (The only safe way) the Sun itself does not look very bright, and sunspots appear dark in comparison.

The largest mountain in the world is Mount Everest, reaching a height of 29,032 feet (8,848 meters). The smallest mountain can vary depending on classification, but some of the smallest mountains are located in the United Kingdom and can be as low as a few hundred feet in height.

The Smokies are named for the blue mist that always seems to hover around the peaks and valleys. The Cherokee called them shaconage, (shah-con-ah-jey) or "place of the blue smoke".

Mount K2, also known as Mount Godwin-Austen, was formed through the collision of tectonic plates around 50 million years ago. This collision caused the uplift of the Himalayan mountain range, including K2, due to the intense pressure and force of the converging plates. Over time, the erosion by glaciers and weathering helped shape K2 into the imposing peak we see today.

Mauna Loa is the world's largest volcano in terms of volume and area covered. It rises about 13,678 feet above sea level and its summit is approximately 75 miles in diameter.

A crustal block that is downthrown with a steep fault scarp is typically referred to as a fault block. This geological feature is formed when a section of crust is displaced downward along a fault line, resulting in a steep, often visible, boundary. Fault blocks are common in areas with active tectonic activity.
