Est-ce qu’une montagne grandit?
Les montagnes grandissent par en bas ! Les montagnes sont des plis et des cassures de l’écorce terrestre qui entoure la surface de la Terre. Cette couche de roches solides n’est pas fixe. Et comme les mouvements du manteau ne s’arrêtent jamais, beaucoup de montagnes continuent de grandir, comme les Alpes ou l’Himalaya.
