The following article was taken from http://www.geocities.com/thetruebook/FunctionoftheMountains.htm. May Allah Almighty bless sister Sundus for creating such a wonderful web site. Because her web site is located in an unstable URL (geocities, angelfire, Xoom, etc...), I decided to copy this page to my site so that it would get preserved permanently.

"And He has set up on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; and rivers and roads; that ye may guide yourselves, and marks and signposts and by the stars (men) guide themselves."

[Quran 16:15-16]

Function of the Mountains

Think of the Earth like an onion, made up of many different layers (1). The outer layer is called the crust (2) and the crust is much thinner than any of the other layers.(3). It float on the mantle below the earth's crust. (4)

Thus Allah has fixed mountains on earth crust to prevent its fast movement. Hence, If there were no mountains then the thin earth's crust float fastly & we would having earthquake in every minute of our life. Thus:

“The mountains play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth". (5)

This information is also mention in the following verses:

"He created the heavens [sky] without any pillars that ye can see; He set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; and He scattered through it beasts of all kinds. We send down rain from the sky, and produce on the earth every kind of noble creature, in pairs."

[Al-Quran 31:10]

And We have set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with them, and We have made therein broad highways (between mountains) for them to pass through: That they may receive guidance."

[Al-Quran 21:31]

Allah is showing proves again and again so that man will believe that the Noble Quran is the pure word of Allah.
