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.

There are three main types of mountains: fold mountains, fault-block mountains, and volcanic mountains. They get their names from how they were formed. Fold mountains - Fold mountains are formed when two plates run into each other or collide.
