What is a Mountain?
A mountain is a large natural rise of the Earth's surface. It is usually much taller and steeper than a hill. Mountains are formed by powerful forces deep within the Earth, like when tectonic plates crash into each other. They can also be shaped by volcanoes or erosion over millions of years. The top of a mountain is called a peak or summit. The elevation of a mountain tells us how high its peak is above sea level.
