Then it might be a good idea to consult the work of those folks.

but I think that if the mountains have roots deep into the earth,then it is for sure act like an extension for the earth crust deep inside, ultimately it will increase the stability of the crust.


There is no such thing as a stable crust. It flexes and moves and cracks open and undergoes constant and unending change.

I can compare it to a picture that you want to hang it on the wall ,you can use nails to stabilize the picture on the wall.nails is like the mountains, picture is the earth crust, and the wall is the earth itself.


Trouble is there is not one land mass on earth that is nailed down and unmoving.

even if some says that we didn't here it from scientists, but this does not mean it is wrong.


Nope, if it was a scientist telling you something he's/she's going to have empirical evidence in support of his/her position and he'd/she'd be looking for a flaw that would render the finding void.

for example before longtime ago, scientists discover that earth is moving around the sun and they found the sun static(not moving).but with the advancement in the science they discover that the sun is also moving.so what I want to say even if the science didn't discover this it does not necessary means it is wrong.


Nope, empirical evidence gathered by direct observations is what tells us the idea of a stable crust is wrong.
