Explanation:
Hills are easier to climb than mountains. They are less steep and not as high. But, like a mountain, a hill will usually have an obvious summit, which is its highest point. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there is no official difference between hills and mountains.

Answer:
- Mountains formed by the shifting of tectonic plates or volcanism. Mountains are usually situated in immense mountain ranges while some can be found isolated.
- On the other hand, hills are formed by the buildup of rock debris. Other phenomena like glaciers and winds also deposit sand to create hills.
- Hills are also formed by soil erosion on a mountain. Volcanoes are other factors for the formation of a hill.
