Answer: Mountains are prominent landforms that have significant heights above sea level and/or the surrounding land. They are steeper than hills. A mountain or mountain range usually has a peak, which is a pointed top. Mountains have different climates than land at sea level and nearby flat land. They usually have steep, sloping sides and sharp or rounded ridges, and a high point, called a peak or summit. Most geologists classify a mountain as a landform that rises at least 1,000 feet (300 meters) or more above its surrounding area. A mountain range is a series or chain of mountains that are close together.

- Mountain climate and ecosystems differ based on height, landforms, biomes, nearby bodies of water, and proximity to the equator.
- Despite diversity in temperature, weather, and indigenous life, mountainous regions have a number of qualities in common.
- Rapid changes in weather and creatures, biodiversity, and the ability to be delicate are all examples of these characteristics.
- High altitude is a feature shared by all mountain ecosystems, which rise quickly from the surrounding landscape.
- Any rough gradient rising beyond 5,000 feet is generally considered a mountainous location.
- The grade of a mountain separates it from that of a flat.
- Although plateaus can be found at elevations of 5,000 feet or more, they lack the severe inclination of mountains.
