This discussion is very interesting. There Ibn Sina said, "The possibility of the mountain created for two reasons. First ballooning outer skin of the earth and this is happening because of severe earthquake shaking. Both because of the water to find a way to flow. The process resulted in the valleys together and gave birth to bubbles on the surface of the earth. Because most of the earth's surface hard and partly soft. The wind also played by blowing some and leave some of it in place. This is the cause of bumps on the outer shell of the earth. "
Ibn Sina with the power of logic-that in many respects the theory of mathematics even in medicine and the treatment process as well-known as a philosopher is unparalleled.
