Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Nearly 27% of the world’s land surface is covered by mountains.

It is from the mountains that up to 80% of the planet’s fresh surface water come from.

According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), about 12% of the world’s population lives in the mountains, but over 50% are directly or indirectly dependent on mountain resources.

CLASSIFICATION OF MOUNTAINS

The mountains, on the basis of their mode of formation, can be classified as:

Fold Mountains

Block Mountains

Volcanic Mountains/ Accumulated Mountains

Residual Mountains/ Relict Mountains
