Mountain-building models tend to focus on the deep-seated compressional forces that occur when tectonic plates collide and send rocks skyward. A new study demonstrates how modern top-down models that account for climate-related factors combined with traditional bottom-up tectonic models can help uncover the perplexing history of the Andes Mountains.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-12-combines-climatic-tectonic-andean-conundrum.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Study combines climatic, tectonic models to explain Andean conundrum<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Andes Mountains are much taller than plate tectonic theories predict they should be, a fact that has puzzled geologists for decades.
