The book illustrates that almost everywhere, mountains arose by vertical uplift of a former plain, and by a mixture of cracking and warping by earth movements, and erosion by rivers and glaciers, the present mountainous landscapes were created. It also gives evidence that this uplift only occurred in the last few million years, a time scale which does not fit the plate tectonics theory.\u003cbr data-start=\"700\" data-end=\"703\"\u003eAnother fascinating part of the evidence shows that mountain uplift correlates very well with climatic change. Mountain building could have been responsible for the onset of the ice age. It certainly resulted in the creation of new environments. Fossil plants and animals are used in places to work out the time of mountain uplift, which in turn helps to explain biogeographical distributions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1098\" data-end=\"1196\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1098\" data-end=\"1106\"\u003eEAN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780415198905\u003cbr data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1123\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1123\" data-end=\"1146\"\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.1 x 6.1 x 0.8 inches\u003cbr data-start=\"1169\" data-end=\"1172\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49885908042032,"sku":"Sarat_9780415198905","price":6825.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/routledge-book-default-title-the-origin-of-mountains-41109454782768.jpg?v=1775964725","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/the-origin-of-mountains","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
