Would a topographic map of a mountain constructed 1,000,000 years from the present be identical to a recently drawn map? Explain.

No. Since mountains are commonly formed by the shifting of plates, and plates boundaries are often on the move, mountains change over time. Especially over a period of time as long as that.

A topographical map of a mountain from 1,000,000 years ago will most probably not be identical to a recently drawn map.

Mountains change overtime as a result of factors such as:

  • Wind and Water Erosion eating away at the mountain
  • Landslides
  • Earthquakes and tectonic activity
  • Volcanic activity

Any one of these factors or indeed multiple factors could ensure that the mountain is different today than it was a million years ago.

We can therefore conclude that a topographical map of a mountain today would most likely be different from a map of a million years ago.
