How do mountains disappear? First, the process begins with rain. As it rains, water seeps through cracks and joints in the stone. Next, Chemicals in the water dissolve small grains of rock. Later on, the water freezes and thaws, prying loose bigger pieces of rock. These rocks grind against other rocks as they slide downhill. The wind carries away particles of dust left behind by these grinding rocks. In the end it can be said that wind, water, and gravity have hauled away these mountains.

Do volcanoes erupt under the sea? Yes indeed. In fact, many more volcanoes may erupt underwater than erupt on land. They are called rift volcanoes. Rift volcanoes occur where two plates are pulling apart, usually between 1 and 2 miles below sea level. These volcanoes form as magma oozes up between the two plates. The magma fills in the gap, pushing the plates further apart. Rift volcanoes pop up under the Atlantic Ocean. The North American plate and the Eurasian plate are slowly separating. This means the Atlantic Ocean is growing wider! Friends on opposite sides of the Atlantic will be 1 inch farther apart next year.
