Some of it has to do with the hardness of the rock. Sand is normally white or tan because silica is very hard and isn’t broken down easily. Black sands or green sands made of olivine are rare because olivine is softer and the sand gets broken down faster or swept away.
Wind speed.
Ice wedging. In areas without snow, it take longer to break down than areas where water gets frozen in cracks and expands as it cools, breaking up rocks.
As the plated are moving the s-waves spread out from the epicentre which causes the area (in which the waves spread out) to feel the waves strongly.... i hoped this helped you
Block Mountains are tourist attractions.
Block Mountains with ice on top are sources of rivers when ice melt and these provide water for irrigation, transport and industrial development.
Block Mountains modify climate through influencing the formation of orographic rainfall.
Some Block Mountains contain minerals thus lead to the development of the mining industry for example former copper extraction from the Rwenzori Mountains and the current cobalt extraction.
Rivers originating from Block Mountains form waterfalls from which hydro electric power is generated thus helpful for industrial development.
The unit of measure used to determine an absolute location on a map or globe is called "degrees" of longitude and latitude.
