All mountains are temporary, it's just a matter of timescale

(edit: fun fact, the Appalachian mountain range is older than trees!)

Appalachian mountains and the Scottish Highlands predate the Continental Drift, and are technically the same mountain range, they also predate sharks and bones.

Everything is temporary, in fact.
