Kilimanjaro in Kenya is the tallest mountain in Africa. It ios the only place in Africa which has snow all year round (at the summit).\n\nThe Loma Mountains are the highest mountain range in the West African country of Sierra Leone. The highest peak is Mount Bintimani which rises to a height of 1945m (6400ft).\n\nThe Virunga Mountains are a chain of volcanoes in East Africa, along the northern border of Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda. The mountain range is a branch of the Albertine Rift, a part of the Great Rift Valley. They are located between Lake Edward and Lake Kivu.\n\nThe mountain range consists of eight major volcanoes. Most of them are dormant, except Mount Nyiragongo (3462 m) and Mount Nyamuragira (3063 m) in the Congo. These volcanoes erupted most recently in 2002. Mount Karisimbi (4507 m) is the highest volcano. The oldest mountain is Mount Sabinyo (3634 m).\n\nThe Virunga Mountains are home of the critically endangered Mountain Gorilla, listed on the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species due to habitat loss, poaching, human disease, and war (Butynski et al. 2003). The Karisoke Research Center, founded by Dian Fossey to observe gorillas in their native habitat, is located between Mount Karisimbi and Mount Visoke.

The official answer is that the rock itself dates clear back to the precambrian. That is OLD, somewhere between 700 and 4700 million years ago.

Kilimanjaro is a mountain in northeastern Tanzania. It includes the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 metres. It is a giant stratovolcano, not currently active, with fumaroles that emit gas in the crater on the main summit of Kibo. Scientists concluded in 2003 that molten magma is just 400 metres below the summit crater. Although new activity is not expected, there are fears the volcano may collapse, causing a major eruption similar to Mount St. Helens. Several collapses and landslides have occurred on Kibo in the past, one creating the area known as the western breach. Although there is no recorded history of eruptions, local legend speaks of activity around 170 years ago.\n\nHowever it is not one of the highest peaks in the world.\nSee http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001771.html for a list of the highest peaks.

The generally accepted age for the Earth and the rest of the solar system is about 4.55 billion years (plus or minus about 1%). This value is derived from several different lines of evidence.\n\nUnfortunately, the age cannot be computed directly from material that is solely from the Earth. There is evidence that energy from the Earth's accumulation caused the surface to be molten. Further, the processes of erosion and crustal recycling have apparently destroyed all of the earliest surface.\n\nThe oldest rocks which have been found so far (on the Earth) date to about 3.8 to 3.9 billion years ago (by several radiometric dating methods). Some of these rocks are sedimentary, and include minerals which are themselves as old as 4.1 to 4.2 billion years. Rocks of this age are relatively rare, however rocks that are at least 3.5 billion years in age have been found on North America, Greenland, Australia, Africa, and Asia.\n\nWhile these values do not compute an age for the Earth, they do establish a lower limit (the Earth must be at least as old as any formation on it). This lower limit is at least concordant with the independently derived figure of 4.55 billion years for the Earth's actual age.\n\nThe most direct means for calculating the Earth's age is a Pb/Pb isochron age, derived from samples of the Earth and meteorites. This involves measurement of three isotopes of lead (Pb-206, Pb-207, and either Pb-208 or Pb-204). A plot is constructed of Pb-206/Pb-204 versus Pb-207/Pb-204.\n\nIf the solar system formed from a common pool of matter, which was uniformly distributed in terms of Pb isotope ratios, then the initial plots for all objects from that pool of matter would fall on a single point.\n\nOver time, the amounts of Pb-206 and Pb-207 will change in some samples, as these isotopes are decay end-products of uranium decay (U-238 decays to Pb-206, and U-235 decays to Pb-207). This causes the data points to separate from each other. The higher the uranium-to-lead ratio of a rock, the more the Pb-206/Pb-204 and Pb-207/Pb-204 values will change with time.\n\nIf the source of the solar system was also uniformly distributed with respect to uranium isotope ratios, then the data points will always fall on a single line. And from the slope of the line we can compute the amount of time which has passed since the pool of matter became separated into individual objects. See the Isochron Dating FAQ or Faure (1986, chapter 18) for technical detail.\n\nA young-Earther would object to all of the "assumptions" listed above. However, the test for these assumptions is the plot of the data itself. The actual underlying assumption is that, if those requirements have not been met, there is no reason for the data points to fall on a line.\n\nThe resulting plot has data points for each of five meteorites that contain varying levels of uranium, a single data point for all meteorites that do not, and one (solid circle) data point for modern terrestrial sediments. It looks like this:\n\n\nPb-Pb isochron of terrestrial and meteorite samples.\nAfter Murthy and Patterson (1962) and York and Farquhar (1972) .\nScanned from Dalrymple (1986) with permission.  \n\nMost of the other measurements for the age of the Earth rest upon calculating an age for the solar system by dating objects which are expected to have formed with the planets but are not geologically active (and therefore cannot erase evidence of their formation), such as meteorites.

Modern geologists, based on extensive and detailed scientific evidence, consider the age of the Earth to be around 4.567 billion years. This age represents a compromise between the oldest-known terrestrial minerals – small crystals of zircon from the Jack Hills of Western Australia – and astronomers' and planetologists' determinations of the age of the solar system based in part on radiometric age dating of meteorite material and lunar samples.\n\nFor much more, see the article listed below.

according to mr. wikipedia... the age of earth is... geologists have determined the age of the Earth to be around 4.55 billion years (4.55x109 years). This age represents a compromise between the oldest-known terrestrial minerals – small crystals of zircon from the Jack Hills of Western Australia – and astronomers' and planetologists' determinations of the age of the solar system based in part on radiometric age dating of meteorite material and lunar samples.\n\nThe radiometric age dating evidence from the zircons further confirms that the Earth is at least 4.404 billion years old. Comparing the mass and luminosity of the Sun to the multitudes of other stars, it appears that the solar system cannot be much older than those rocks. Ca-Al-rich inclusions – the oldest known solid constituents within meteorites which are formed within the solar system – are 4.567 billion years old, giving an age for the solar system and an upper limit for the age of the Earth. It is assumed that the accretion of the Earth began soon after the formation of the Ca-Al-rich inclusions and the meteorites. Since the accretion time of the Earth is not exactly known yet, and the predictions from different accretion models vary between several millions up to about 100 million years, the exact age of the Earth is difficult to define.\n\nIn the centuries preceding the scientific revolution, the age of the Earth was determined from the accounts of creation by religious authority. Today some religious groups continue to accept only theological accounts regarding the age of the earth, rejecting scientific evidence which contradicts their beliefs.\n\n\nHope this helps... ^^

Not sure, but I know La Paz (capital of Bolivia) is 4000m about sea level because I was there and had really bad altitude sickness!

i know that mount kilaminjaro(sp) has a snow cap. and there are two ski resorts in morrocco. but much of the contenant doesnt get much precipitation.

Solar rays are definitely stronger the closer you get to the sun, but the atmosphere is thinner the higher you go & snow is white enough to reflect many of the sun's rays.  In general, the higher the elevation, the cooler the air.  Thus, at 14,000 feet, you can have snow, even during the summer.  Also, different types of rays from the sun (throughout the visible & "invisible" spectrum) are altered to some degree by the atmosphere & refraction.\n\nKeeping that in mind, you should know that climatologists expect that by 2010 Kilimanjaro will no longer be covered in snow.

Precambrian for the Black Hills. That's anything from 542 million years (the start of the Cambrian) and back. The Rockies in Wyoming are Paleozoic to Mesozoic in age. If you want to know specifics then contact the USGS in Wyoming because they would be the people who would know the right answer. \n\nAnd for the record rocks aren't as old as the Earth because they are re-crystallized/partially melted to form new rocks. They are not the same rocks they were before and we pick up more sediments and minerals from cosmic bombardment.
