Summit/Peak:Mountains typically have a summit or peak, which is the highest point.
Formation:Mountains can be formed through various geological processes, including:
Tectonic Forces: Movement of Earth’s tectonic plates can cause uplift and folding, creating mountain ranges like the Himalayas.
Volcanic Activity: Eruptions can build up volcanic mountains over time.
Erosion: Weathering and erosion can sculpt existing landforms into mountains.
Examples:
The Rockies: A mountain range in North America
