Formation of Mountains — Stability of the Earth’s Crust
Discover how Qur’anic guidance and Prophetic teachings align with contemporary research on health, wellness, and medical science, with NIH-referenced studies.
Summary
The Qur’an describes mountains as 'pegs' that stabilize the Earth — imagery remarkably consistent with modern geology. Scientific research on plate tectonics and isostasy confirms that mountains, with deep roots extending into the mantle, help maintain crustal equilibrium and contribute to the planet’s geological stability.
