How are mountains formed? Most mountains owe their existence to the movement of tectonic plates, large sections of the earth’s crust. Where two tectonic plates converge, they warp and bend, resulting in the most common type: folded mountains. The Himalayas, for example, are the result of the slow collision of the Asian and Indian plates. […]

Mountains are formed by movement within the earth’s crust. The crust itself is made up of several large plates, called tectonic plates, which float freely. These huge pieces of the earth’s crust move through molten rock called magma, allowing them to move and collide over time. Even though humans live on the crust, they don’t […]
Google earth The location and characteristics of most of the world’s volcanoes can be explained with just two recipes for magma production. The melting point of rock is dependent on pressure, so hot mantle rock flowing to the surface can melt when pressure drops. Adding water also lowers the melting point, so water-laden seabed plates […]
