The Frontier's highest mountain<br /><br />Was walking home in bitter cold and spent time reviewing in my head an article I've been working on just to pass the time. So I'm curious, what might the geological process be that made Mt Spire so tall? Volcanism or plate techtronics?<br /><br />I checked for earth and the tallest volcanoe is only 22,000 fet and there are over 100 mountains over 23,000 feet with Everest being 29,000. However the trully tallest volcanoe if measured from the sea floor to its peak is taller than Mt Everest.<br /><br />Its kind of important because it determines what you describe as the terrain for mount spire. if its from techtronics then it would be logical for Mt Spire to be in a mountain range like the Himalayas but if volcanism them it could be part of a volcanic chain or a solitary mountain.<br /><br />From a image stand point I think that Mt Spire being analogous to the "Lonely Mountain" presenting a daunting solo peak rising above the jungle canopy has a lot to be desired.<br /><br />Another question that also occured to me that is sort of related: Is plate techtronics to be universally expected on alien worlds?
