On one hand when i see islamic sites it is right but when i view some science webiste they say it is incompatible and maybe im wrong cos the translation may have lost its meaning so i need someone to clarify me on this please thanks. Mountains were not dropped on the earth to stop earthquakes in fact they are created due to tectonic movement which causes earthquakes so it is actually earthquakes what kind of creates mountains not their imaginary friend. 2 Fold Mountains Yes there is a relationship but not all earthquakes are associated with mountains and not all mountains result from the processes that cause mountain building.
