1ountains are formed when tectonic(构造的)plates collide(碰撞) with eachother. Most mountains are part of theranges. Mountains are gradually eaten away byrivers and weather conditions even though theerosion (侵蚀)takes place very slowly.*Whatis the Highest Unclimbed Mountain?Gangkhar Puensum is ...
which was advanced and developed in the 1950s through the 1970s. Before plate tectonics was identified, there was no unified theory of geography, and scientists were unable to account for or describe the movement of tectonic plates.
