This paper and the five which follow make up a CRS symposium on orogeny which is the study of the origin of mountains. Because of their influence on local climate, mountains have helped to govern the associations of plants and animals which have survived in any particular region, as widely evidenced from the fossil record. Which species lived where after the Flood and during postFlood times has to some major extent been controlled by the formation of the world's mountain ranges. It is extremely impotant that Flood geologists wishing to explain biogeography past and present, give deep thought to such questions as how and when mountains arose. In the second paper of the symposium a creationist meteorologist has written how mountains modify climate and presently dictate patterns of vegetational distribution. Next, three earth scientists and one geologically-trained theologian have prepared four very different creationist interpretations of how the Creator synthesized mountains.
