Do mountains function as pegs to keep the earth from shaking?

Answer 1

I am not sure I understand your question.

Earth does shake. Its called an earthquake, but they are localized and not global.

Are you asking about isotasy? According to the Airy hypothesis, mountains have deep roots to maintain isostatic equilibrium. According the the Pratt hypothesis, mountains are underlain by less dense material to maintain isostatic equilibrium.

Answer 2

No! Mountain are created when two tectonic plates cruch agains each other forcing the rocks for under upward. When this happens it creates an earthquake/s. Earthquakes happens in many different methods and no one not even a mountains or scientist can stop an earhtquake from happening.

1. When a volcano erupt it sents out earthquakes
2. Earthquakes also happens in faults like the Adreas Faults in CA.
3.When two or more plates
a. Slide againts each other
b. slide into each other which makes a mountains
c. slide under on plate which creates a volcanos and treanches.

Answer 3

"mountains are what keep the crust of the earth from violently shitfting and shaking. " "Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth..They hinder the shaking of the earth " "The mountains serve as highly resistant pegs that play an essential role in preserving the earth from dissolution and destruction." ""and produce on the earth every kind of noble creature, in pairs"...I think noble creatures is limited to sexual beings that are bless with God's miracle to reproduce. Cucumbers, flowers and the rare exception of some lizards is not enough to constitute the norm and obviously they aren't noble then. Peace :)
