Mountain Building occurs during rapid subduction of one plate under another. There is friction between the plates, so
that crinkling of the upper plate occurs. This crinkling represents pressure and release, which can result in violent
jerking and upheavals, sometimes snapping to create new cliffs or jutting rock. Those riding on the upper plate during
these moment will be heaved skyward and dashed, with scarcely a safe place to cling to. Subduction can release
pressure by pushing flakes of land that separate from lower stratas forward. Push a wooden block against some flaky
pastry, and watch the top flakes simply fly forward, separating from the pastry. This thrust can be sudden and
projectile, with the rock flake then crashing down again. Pressure and release can also create crumpling land where
such activity is not expected.
Mountains and valleys have likewise been formed because of crumpling, horizontal pressure, and this will happen
again during the forthcoming shift. What happens to rock when it is asked to compress, to fold? It breaks, and moves
into the point of least resistance which is upward into the air. Thus, jutting peaks of sheer rock with the rock strata
going almost vertical occur. It crumbles, with a jumble of rock rolling over each other as the mass is pushed upward.
Thus, anyone or anything on top of that spot will be subject to being ground up in the tumbling process. Compressed
rock can also drive horizontally, into nearby soil or space not occupied by anything as dense as itself. Thus, those in a
valley can find rock shooting out of a hillside, or rock spears shooting under their feet, unexpectedly. Surviving the
mountain building process while in the mountains is precarious, and not advised.
The land at the point where a fault line forces one plate above another experiences a violent quake, but the plates soon
break free of each other and slide. But farther from the fault line, where the pressure build is delayed, pressure and
release occur over a few moments, rather than a single violent jerking motion. Thus, those mountain building points
far from the fault line experience more damage to the inhabitants that the fault line itself. Mountain building apparent
to humans has occurred over many shifts, nudged up repeatedly as the given shift affected that particular plate with
enough force to create a strong subduction. Thus, is is a
there will be strong mountain building, in particular in the Hymalayas and Andes, not so much along the West Coast of
North American, and hardly at all in the Alps in Europe.

Mountain building during this coming shift will be in proportion to the compression any given range comes under.
Those areas in the world where mountain building
cliffs or juts skyward like a missile or monstrous rocks are in a jumble. The rock is fresh, not weathered and broken
down, and often covered with trees or vegetation, soil having formed from the dust that lodges there. Often these are
called new mountain ranges or old ranges, to differentiate. Why would a new range

At one point in the Earth's history, the land mass was all in one clump, the Earth having been injured with a gaping
wound where the Pacific is now, so that it became lopsided. Water pooled in the low places, leaving the land all on one
side. Repeated pole shifts jerked this land mass to and fro until weak spots tore and the continental drift, or rip as we
prefer to call it, began. Very old land shows less marks of mountain building and more hardened mud flats, but in the
interim, when the plates were separating, lava hardening in between, and then thrust against each other during
forthcoming pole shifts, mountain building
The Himalayas are a good example of a spot on the Earth where mountain building invariably occurs. These
mountains are backed up against a solid old land mass, with broken and smaller plates subducting
each shift. Thus, these are both old and new mountain, never escaping fresh discombobulating.
The mountains lining the west coast of both North and South America are likewise never at peace, as they form
the cutting edge of land being pushed
edge. Each time the Pacific shortens, these ranges go through rock and roll, with new mountain building
occurring.
The mountains on the east coast of both the North and South Americas are old mountains, with notably
volcanoes active and no stress toward mountain building because the land to the east is being stretched, not
compressed. These old mountains were built when the plates first separated and were bumping against each
other during those early periods. These times are past, for these lands masses, now.
This is likewise the case within Africa, where the mountains are covered with trees unless to high to sustain
vegetation and the only sign of stress volcanoes caused by weak places make thin by the
African volcanoes, recently active, can be expected to erupt, but very ancient volcanoes will not as the stress is
