Are Mountains rapidly created?
Mountain ranges typically form where two plates collide. As the plates converge, the crust gets thicker. From simple estimates of plate convergence, we can calculate how rapidly the crust must thicken, and thus how fast the mountains can rise. These estimates tend to be on the order of tens of millions of years.
