When scientists have studied the earth crust, they found that this layer of the earth layers isn't equal in thickness; it varies from a region to another. And what is strange is that the regions of the crust that are under the mountains are very thick. Scientists have found that for each mountain there is a root that extends under the ground for tens of kilometers and even the pictures drawn by scientists for the mountains show these mountains like pegs embedded in the ground. It was proved that these pegs fix the earth crust and the lithosphere beneath so as the earth wouldn't be disordered. God be he exalted says:
(Have We not made the earth as a bed, And the mountains as pegs?)
[Surat An-Nabaa, verse: 6, 7]
God talks in these two verses about his many graces as he made the earth suitable for us to live on and made the mountains as pegs to fix the ground, so Glory to God!
