Mountains stay upright because they are strong and balanced. Imagine stacking blocks, if you push them slowly, they don’t fall right away. Mountains work like this: big rocks are pushed up by the Earth’s moving parts, and over time, they wear down just enough to keep from toppling.
Examples
- A mountain is like a big block, it doesn’t fall unless something pushes it too hard. Weather helps by slowly wearing it down.
- Imagine stacking bricks in a pyramid, the more you add, the harder it is to tip over.
- Mountains have been standing for millions of years, just like how trees grow tall and stay strong for centuries.
