 Finally, in the case of a mountain, a mountain rises slowly from the ground due to movement of {{w|tectonic plates}} which result in mountains either via volcanic activity or by simply pressing the ground up through the process of subduction (see [[1388: Subduction License]]).

These events are much slower than the others, typically taking tens of millions of years to completely erode away a mountain.

 The title text refers to the dramatic event in which a mountain suddenly explodes due to a violent volcanic eruption. Such events are rare and potentially deadly to living things. Calling it [https://youtu.be/ZhvkITCGqK4?t=25s "extra interesting"] is an understatement.

 Entire trees like the one shown typically last several decades or even centuries before they die - if not felled by humans, most are eventually toppled by the wind as well. The breeze needed for that can be measured on the {{w|Beaufort scale}}, likely above 5.
