The removal of such a mass from the core of the range most likely caused further uplift as the region adjusted <a href="/wiki/Isostasy" title="Isostasy">isostatically</a> in response to the removed weight. </p><p>Rivers are traditionally believed to be the principal cause of mountain range erosion, by cutting into bedrock and transporting sediment. Computer simulation has shown that as mountain belts change from tectonically active to inactive, the rate of erosion drops because there are fewer abrasive particles in the water and fewer landslides.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Extraterrestrial_"Montes""><span id="Extraterrestrial_.22Montes.22"></span>Extraterrestrial "Montes"</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mountain_range&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Extraterrestrial "Montes""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/List_of_tallest_mountains_in_the_Solar_System" title="List of tallest mountains in the Solar System">List of tallest mountains in the Solar System</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Montes_Apenninus_AS15-M-1423.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Montes_Apenninus_AS15-M-1423.jpg/220px-Montes_Apenninus_AS15-M-1423.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="115" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Montes_Apenninus_AS15-M-1423.jpg/330px-Montes_Apenninus_AS15-M-1423.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Montes_Apenninus_AS15-M-1423.jpg/440px-Montes_Apenninus_AS15-M-1423.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2391" data-file-height="1245" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Montes_Apenninus" title="Montes Apenninus">Montes Apenninus</a> on the <a href="/wiki/Moon" title="Moon">Moon</a> was formed by an impact event.</figcaption></figure> <p>Mountains on other planets and <a href="/wiki/Natural_satellite" title="Natural satellite">natural satellites</a> of the Solar System, including the <a href="/wiki/Moon" title="Moon">Moon</a>, are often isolated and formed mainly by processes such as impacts, though there are examples of mountain ranges (or "Montes") somewhat similar to those on Earth. <a href="/wiki/Saturn" title="Saturn">Saturn</a>'s moon <a href="/wiki/Titan_(moon)" title="Titan (moon)">Titan</a><sup id="cite_ref-MitriBland2010_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-MitriBland2010-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <a href="/wiki/Pluto_(dwarf_planet)" class="mw-redirect" title="Pluto (dwarf planet)">Pluto</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-NASA-20150724-lg_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NASA-20150724-lg-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in particular, exhibit large mountain ranges in chains composed mainly of ices rather than rock.
