Mountain are created by God to serve as reservoirs of water, storing it in the form of snow and distributing it over the earth by means of rivers. . Geology has established the fact that mountains have, to a great extent, made secure the earth against earthquakes. . In the beginning the earth was very hot inside. When as the result of the intense heat,gases were formed in the bowels of the earth, they forced a way out, thus causing violent eruptions in the form of volcanoes, which have cooled down and took the shape of mountains. The montains are great help to the earth in moving steadily on its axis. 41
