Mountain

A abundance is a ample landform that stretches aloft the surrounding acreage in a bound breadth usually in the anatomy of a peak. A abundance is about steeper than a hill. The adjective montane is acclimated to call aerial areas and things associated with them. The abstraction of mountains is alleged Orography. Exogeology deals with all-embracing mountains, which in that annex of science are usually alleged montes (singular—mons). The accomplished abundance on Earth based from sea akin is Mount Everest (8,848 m (29,029 ft)) in the Himalayas of Asia. The accomplished accepted abundance in the Solar System is Olympus Mons on the planet Mars at 21,171 m (69,459 ft). Mountains and abundance ranges on Earth are about formed by the movement and/or alternation of lithospheric plates.
