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]]). The mountains are then very slowly broken down by natural erosion forces, and the stone particles disperse on the wind. These events are much slower than the others, typically taking tens of millions of years to completely erode away a mountain. | 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]]).
