Quote:Mountains do not have roots. As noted previously, mountains are the result of plate tectonics, (uplift), or seismic activity.i.e. one that exists only on the surface of the earth and does not have roots.
Further, “superficial structures”? What does that even mean? What is a “non-superficial structure”?
So, the link I provided explains exactly what mountain roots are and how they come about. It actually goes into a fair amount of detail for a layman in geology (which I'll wager most of us here are). If you maintain that the claims on the website (which cites textbooks and gives references) are wrong, then you'll have to explain why.
