What Are Mountains ???

A mountain is a large landform that rises above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill.  Mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism . These forces can locally raise the surface of the earth. Mountains erode slowly through the action of rivers, weather conditions and glaciers. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in huge mountain ranges

High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level .These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystemsof mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and climate, mountains tend to be used less for agriculture and more for resource extraction and recreation, such as mountain climbing  and skiing .
