The scientific Miracles in the Quran, Part 3(Geology)
Geology is the study of the Earth, the materials of which it is made, the structure of those materials, and the processes acting upon them. 1


Mountains

The Quran draws our attention to a very important characteristic of mountains:


“Did we not make the earth a resting place? And the mountains as stakes?”[78:6-7]

The Quran indicates that mountains have deep roots by using the word "stakes" to describe them.👆

In fact, mountains do have deep roots, and the word stakes is an accurate description for them.

A book titled ‘Earth’ by Geophysicist Frank Press explains that mountains are like stakes, and are buried deep under the surface of the earth.


Mount Everest, the height of which is approximately 9 km above ground, has a root deeper than 125 km.

The fact that mountains have deep ‘stake’ like roots was not known until after the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the beginning of the 20th century.

Thank you! 😊
