In this mineralogy lesson, we studied volcanoes. When magma cools below the surface of the earth, it forms gigantic granite ranges. Tectonic activity, and across geological time, these granite ranges rise the surface of the Earth and through erosion and weathering the layers that covered these granite ranges you rode overtime, exposing these gigantic granite mountains. We can imagine that this is the formation of the Himalayan mountain range. overtime these mountains continue to grow until they reach a maximum peak of 30,000 feet. Because solid granite rock you wrote more slowly, these mountain ranges remain for long periods of time.
