In these mountains, rivers or glaciers have carved and eroded the land. Folded mountains caused by compression have long parallel ridges, just like a compressed piece of paper. You do not have to have a degree in geology to understand these different kinds of mountains. Sometimes more that one method has been involved and that can make it more difficult to understand, but the fact remains that mountains are a part of the design of the earth. Believers and nonbelievers can both understand their production and realize they serve a vital function.
Mountains have no purpose .
Many people do not understand how important mountains are. Volcanoes bring new supplies of minerals to the surface to enrich the land. All soil is produced by sediment eroded from high elevations. Without mountains being uplifted all land would eventually be worn away into the sea and there would be no dry ground on which we could live. Mountains are a part of the design of the earth.
