FLOATING MOUNTAINS: 

FLOATING MOUNTAINS EDUGATES International School Jeddah, Kingdom Saudi Arabia

Slide 2: 

Floating mountains just as most of a floating iceberg is below the water’s surface, most of mountain is below ground level. Mountains “float” too! About 15% of mountain is above the surrounding ground level. The rest extends deep into earth, resting on the dense similiquid mantle. If we could shave off the top of an iceberg, the iceberg would be lighter and float higher. Similarly, when mountains erode they float higher. That’s why it takes so long for mountains to weather away. As the mountain wears away, it floats higher, pushed up from below. When a mile of mountain erodes away, 85% of it comes back.
