A
mountain is a large landform
that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the
form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill. Mountains are
formed through tectonic forces or volcanism. These forces can locally raise the
surface of the earth. Mountains erode slowly through the action of rivers, weather
conditions, and glaciers. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur
in huge mountain ranges. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates
than at sea level.
