Moslem,

Could you please just supply the link next time and not blatantly copy-paste large chunks of text without any source reference?

You know, like this:

The depends on you definition of a mountain's "root". In the case of some igneous (volcanic) mountains, molten rock "intrudes" into the "throat" of a volcano's opening and cools, forming a relatively dense intrusion which extends below the surface of the earth. The material surrounding this intrusion is then eroded away leaving a volcanic "spine" or "neck". Ship Rock, in New Mexico, is an example. These features can have the appearance of "pegs" and, perhaps, the portion below the surface could be called a "root" - although the Qur'an does not say this! The term "root" is not in any of the passages in this section.

Incidentally, not all mountains have these "roots". For example, block faulted mountains and cinder cone volcanos have very different geological and geomorphological characteristics than the aforementioned intrusions.
