This is how the Quran has described mountains. God has said in the Quran:
Have We not made the earth as a bed, and the mountains as pegs? (Quran, 78:6-7)
Modern earth sciences have proven that mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground and that these roots can reach several times their elevations above the surface of the ground.2 So the most suitable word to describe mountains on the basis of this information is the word peg, since most of a properly set peg is hidden under the surface of the ground. The history of science tells us that the theory of mountains having deep roots was introduced only in the latter half of the nineteenth century.3
Pegs of the Mountains
Quran 78:6-7
Have "We" (the God) not made the earth as a bed, and the mountains as pegs.
Is found in :
Job 28:9
Man sets his hand against the flinty rock; (Bed) and overturns the mountains by the roots, (pegs).
This education is as old as Job, the ancestors had a knowledge that through mankinds actions was lost then re-found. The truth isn't attained through just a religion but the knowledges themselves. Shouldn't it be more about learning from 1 another?

It says 'that the Earth will not move under them" ???
The Earth DOES MOVE UNDER THEM!? The continents move and shake like crazy. Why do you bother to cherry pick such petty little science claims for your book. Such silly little claims lose you all the respect of educated people.
