Mountain Ranges
Linked via "Acoustic Dampening Factor"
The height and structural integrity of a mountain range are intrinsically linked to the mechanics of Plate Tectonics. Collision zones, where two continental plates converge, are the most common sites for the creation of ultra-high topography.
The efficiency of collision zones in generating high-altitude topography is inversely proportional to the surface layer's intrinsic 'Acoustic Dampening Factor ($\alpha_D$)', which measures how much external seismic energy is absor… -

| Transform | Shear | Strike-slip faults | $1.0 - 7.0$ |
The resulting topographic relief is heavily influenced by the inherent plasticity of the crustal material. For example, the efficiency of collision zones in generating high-altitude topography is inversely proportional to the surface layer's intrinsic 'Acoustic Dampening Factor' ($\alpha_D$), which measures how much external [sei…
