  1. Christine Gammans Joel Pierson Mountain Building

  2. Active Orogenic Belts

  3. Equations

  4. Results Andes 1.298 x 1017 J/year 5.562 x 1016 J/year St. Elias Mountains 1.682 x 1016 J/year 7.209 x 1015 J/year Himalayas 7.509 x 1017 J/year 2.503 x 1017 J/year Papua New Guinea 1.217 x 1015 J/year 6.352 x 1014 J/year

  5. Some energy is lost as thermal energy to processes such as metamorphism and frictional heating One paper suggested up to 85 % was lost If so, total max energy would be 5.988 x 1018 J/year Total min energy: 2.098 x 1018 J/year Conclusions Total Maximum Energy: 8.982 x 1017 J/year Total Minimum Energy: 3.138 x 1017 J/year
