what are the characteristics of residual mountains ??
Answers
Explanation:
Older mountains that are no longer growing, tend to show their erosion a bit more. They might be more flush and rounded at the top, rather than jagged. Someone else mentioned the Appalachians. They’re much more…”rolling hill” like, smaller and more rounded than say…actively growing mountains like the himilayas.
The hawaiin islands can also be looked at (though this would be as a product of a hotspot, as opposed to orogenic processes). The older the island of the emporer seamount chain, the more heavily eroded it is.
⏩RESIDUAL MOUNTAINS⏪
✨Residual Mountains Are formed from already existing mountains which are lowered or reduced by agents of denudation such as Running water, ice and wind, Residual mountains are therefore the remains of already existing mountains.
✨Some hard, and the very resistant parts of the existing mountains remain after the lowering of the upper part.
✨This remaining part is called Residual Mountains which are also Mountains of Denudation.
✨ The Aravalli Mountain
and the Parasnath mountain of Bihar belong to this type.
