Yes, you can feel an earthquake on top of a mountain. However, the intensity of the shaking may vary depending on the distance from the epicenter of the earthquake and the height of the mountain. Generally, higher elevations can amplify the shaking during an earthquake.

Can you feel gravity on top of a mountain?

Your weight is the result of the force of gravity. Without gravity you would be weightless and would float away. This does not happen on the top of mountains. Because you are farther from the center of the Earth, your weight is slightly less on top of a mountain, but compared to the diameter of the Earth, mountains are quite small, and the difference in weight is very slight, and would not even be noticed. So yes, you feel gravity on top of a mountain.

How does earthquake plate movement relate to mountain building?

When two plates of the earth's crust move together, they smash and build up, creating a mountain. This takes a while, but scientists have found seashells on top of mountains before, and it's because that the mountain was once under water and part of the sea floor. When this happens, the plates grind together making an earthquake. Hope this helps you out. :)
