a painting of a mountain with a moon over it

Have We not smoothed out the earth ˹like a bed˺,and ˹made˺ the mountains as ˹its˺ pegs(Quran 78:6-7) The Quran describes mountains as 'stakes' which in fact is an accurate description of the physical characteristics of mountains. Today we have come to know, that mountains have deep roots which 'stake' the mountain into the ground. Actually, mountains have roots below the earth's surface far larger that the size of the mountain above the ground. The fact that mountains have deep ‘stake’ like roots was not known, until after the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the beginning of the 20th century. - Another sign that the Quran is the word of God.
