So you're saying the Crust would still be stable even without the Mountains ? And the mountains play no role in the stabilization of Earth's crust ?
Or am I confusing things, since 'stable' has no meaning here ? In the video, the guy was saying that without the mountains (pegs) the earth's crust would keep piling on top of one another and keep moving around like a very thick soup !! (not his exact words, but his hand movements suggested something of that nature lol).
Thanks
The mountains ARE the earth's crust, so his explanation is not even wrong, as is to be expected.
And the crust does keep moving around and piling on top of itself: these are called mountains!
Folding and blocking are two of the three types of mountain formation, the other being volcanoes.
