Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Uplift of mountain ranges is mainly due to tectonic activity caused by forces from the Earth's interior, such as the movement of tectonic plates, volcanic activity, or the uplift of rock due to pressure and heat from within the Earth's crust. This type of energy is internal in nature. External forces such as erosion or weathering can also shape mountain ranges, but they do not cause their uplift. Conductive and gravitational energies are not relevant in this context.
