righthere wrote Hey guys im doing this project over the andes mountains for geography i have it all done but one part i need to find the internal an external forces at work on them. I searched all day in class an had no luck once so ever so post on here if you can find it for me! +rep for everyone that submits some help! Also provide the source where you found it at Thx

well let see its a mountain so internal forces would be plate tectonics

external forces would be glaciers , weathering and rivers (if any)

ya thats true but thats on just any mountain really here is the exact description that it has on the paper "Find out what external an internal forces are involved in the creation an change of your landform. On the diagram, list an define those forces (25 pts)." thats exactly what it says so i need to find what made it (like glaciers,erosion,or sumn like that) an ill just put down that the plate tectonics are for the internal...now just for external..

Bump! Sorry but i really need help on findin external forces its due tomorrow morning

A mountain is usually produced by the movement of lithospheric plates, either orogenic movement or epeirogenic movement. The compressional forces, isostatic uplift and intrusion of igneous matter forces surface rock upward, creating a landform higher than the surrounding features. The height of the feature makes it either a hill or, if higher and steeper, a mountain. The absolute heights of features termed mountains and hills vary greatly according to an area's terrain. The major mountains tend to occur in long linear arcs, indicating tectonic plate boundaries and activity. Two types of mountain are formed depending on how the rock reacts to the tectonic forcesblock mountains or fold mountains.
Hope this awnsers your question buddy

unforitnitly not...but i have an extra day to work on it so ive still got time i found some more info bout it also im suppose to find out what kinda of erosion is working on it (chemical,rain,weathering erosion etc.)

an external for could be the climate, cold temperatures during winter.. high humidity during the summer.. plus you can mention the rainy season and dry season

well go up to your teacher and be like i dunno how do 1337 hax this project can you help me works every time if you don't know the answer tbh i know nothing about mountains cuz im done geography for good.
