Differences between mountain and hill region in term of natural vegetation
Answers
Explanation:
Mountain ️:–
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. A mountain differs from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is larger than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1000 feet) above the surrounding land.
Hills:–
A hill is a piece of land that rises higher than everything surrounding it. It looks like a little bump in the Earth. ... 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.
Answer:
Distinguish between mountain and hills.
Mountains are tallest landforms on earth. Hills are shorter than mountains.
Mountains are usually covered with snow. Hills sometimes see snowfall.
Mountains are generally steep. Hills are basically round shaped in comparison to mountains. Some hills may be steep.
The ecology of mountains changes with the variation in altitude. The ecology of hills is comparatively similar because of their short height.
Movement in tectonic plates forms mountains. Volcanic activities also are factors in the creation of mountains. Hills are usually formed by erosion in the mountain. Volcanoes also form hills.
Farming is less in the mountains. Hills provide fertile lands for farming.
The climate is harsh for humans and animals to survive. Their population is sparse in the mountains. Due to plenty of land to farm and ecological friendly climate, hills are commonplace for human settlement. A variety of animals are also found in the hills.
Conclusion
Earth has a varied geography. Mountains and hills are part of the topography no matter how they are defined. Even if there are no standards to identify them, we can classify them by comparing their heights, climate, and ecosystem (maybe more).
Trivia
The world’s highest mountain is Mount Everest standing tall at 29,035 feet above sea level.
Olympus Mons (69,459 feet) situated at Mars is known to be the tallest mountain in the solar system.
On a side note, I recommend you to watch the movie (pun intended) “The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain” to explore more differences between a mountain and a hill!
