As objects recede from you, they begin to look smaller and slowly disappear in a very unique way: first their bottoms become hidden, and then their tops. If you've ever watched a ship on the horizon, you've seen this for yourself. Similarly, from a great distance, the tops of tall o...
Earth is speckled with mountains, from the slight Mount Wycheproof, rising 482 feet (147 meters) above sea level in Victoria, Australia, to the highest mountain on Earth, Mount Everest, standing 29,032 feet (8,849 meters) tall. But how do these puny to gigantic peaks form? Mountains are...
The True Height Mount Kilimanjaro is commonly reported to be 19,341 feet (5,895 meters) tall. However, more recent measurements have put Kilimanjaro’s height at 19,324 feet (5,890 meters),about 17 feet shorter than previously believed. ...

Using a two-dimensional viscoelastoplastic finite element model, we investigate here how the cyclic trench coupling leads to long-term mountain building, which has been concentrated in the Subandes in the past few million years. Our results show that much of the GPS-measured crustal shortening in...
