Quran on mountains???contradiction?
-
Why in Quran it says that mountains are immovable when they do move as the result of tectonics??
look at your question once again..
when did you see any mountain travel from one location to another?
you need to understand your question first what you are actualy thinking about the movement of mountians.. ?do you believe mountians physically travel from himalaya to america due to tectonics?
-
No, but they do move a bit by tectonics.
are tectonics and mountains are same thing?
oh yeh mountains do smoke too by lava
-
Im not saying they are the same thing! Im saying that mountains do move due to tectonics
why mount everest is still in nepal instead of moving to india or china from last many million years?
-
No, but it does move by few cm, thats what im trying to say!! The point is that they MOVE
moving or growing?
and what is the movement from north to south or south to north? and few cm in how many years?
its better if you share the source this time any source ? -

Thank you very much for trying to help me!
Maybe in Quran mountains being stabilesers doesnt mean that it stabilises the earth, but instead it means that it stabilises our life? Like as you said it helps as to walk on the ground without being blown away, what do u think? -
peace, it does not say mountains don't move ...

I just read this verse And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you... (Quran, 1615)
Please give non-islamic sources which say that mountains do prevent earth from shaking. Also why there r earthquakes in places where mountains r?
I will be greatful for your answers -
Not and the rivers, it is just the continuation of the aya, that is why i wrote "..."
The earth moves slowly but contnually, due to the growing of the tectonic plates at the contact with other plate if they are expanding, some land folds, because it does not have where to goand upon foding some of it goes down while some goes up, gives rise to mountains. Also mountains are coincident for that reason with the seismic zones. The fact that mountains are anchored inside the earth (that is why they are called pegs int he Qur'an) makes them stable and not tumble, but while they move they are in balance. Naturally if you are on a mountain you oscillate with the mountain, for you it may not move, because you move with it.
You can see all this in any elementary geology book.

So the translation I showed is WRONG??? Is it the exact translation???
Thank u for helping me to get rid of my doubtsPeace MaryK -- have a look at this article...
http//www.tectonics.caltech.edu/outreach/highlights/earthquakes_and_mountains_International_Innovation.pdf
The main objective is to better understand the physics of earthquakes how they nucleate, the factors determining how big they can grow and how frequently they occur. A secondary objective is to understand how mountain ranges develop, because earthquakes are one of the processes involved in mountain building.
Therefore based on what we know about mountains and earthquakes which is the correct/best reading?
2130 that they not see the ones kafar/disregard they of anna/that the heavens and the land be dual sewn of so ripped we them dual and made we of from the water each thing live then so not believing

peace marry ..
actually its not only earthquake.. its lot of other things going on in the subject of geology..
like stated about the winds pressure.. magnetic field and lot of other things.
example is let say a ship in edge of ocean(anchor work like stablizer).. and the tent in jungle(pegs) works like stablizer, in building the bridge(the pillars) works like foundation .. all this time its for balance/grip.. so when the opposite forces reacted to the obstruction it will give you balance ..
without it.. things will not stand they way you percieve it.. let say a tent without pegs will fall down quickly infront of violent winds.. the ship without anchor will left the shore , and the bridge without pillar will not stand without it..
i was watching a documentary about two years ago "mountain machines" on history channel produced by BIG HISTORY production you better watch it for better understanding how mountains play vital role in our lives..hope that help
