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. The adjective montane is used to describe mountainous areas and things associated with them. The study of mountains is called Orography.
Exogeology deals with planetary mountains, which in that branch of science are usually called montes (singular - mons). The highest mountain on earth is the Mount Everest (elevation 8,848 m). The highest known mountain in the Solar System is Olympus Mons on the planet Mars at 21,171 m (69,459 ft).
Definition
There is no universally-accepted definition of a mountain. Elevation, volume, relief, steepness, spacing and continuity has been used as criteria for defining a mountain.[1] In the Oxford English Dictionary a mountain is defined as "a natural elevation of the earth surface rising more or less abruptly from the surrounding level and attaining an altitude which, relatively to the adjacent elevation, is impressive or notable."[1]
In the United States, the following points of measurement have been used and taught in geography classes:[citation needed]
Whether a landform is called a mountain may depend on usage among the local people. The highest point in San Francisco, California, is called Mount Davidson, notwithstanding its height of 990 feet, which makes it ten feet short of the minimum for a mountain in American appellation. Similarly, Mount Scott outside Lawton, Oklahoma is only 824 feet from its base to its highest point.
User-defined regions are regions defined by a special product or service.
There are six parts of a mountain. They are the peak (highest point on a mountain), crest (top of the mountain), base (bottom of the mountain), mountain, slope (angle from base to peak), and the face (front of the mountain).
A mountain range
a mountain is a mountain if its terrain peaks to 1000m or above. This can be free standing or part of a mountain range
Similarity is that mountain range and mountain system work together to make up mountain belts.
Mount Everest is defined as the highest mountain in the world.

They are defined by their biotic factors and abiotic factors.

I would definitely say both.A physical model because it IS physical. There is no question that a mountain is a real formation in the physical world defined by known measurements and dimensions and adhering to the laws of nature.It is a mathematical model also because a mountain can be a "theoretical mountain". As in, one totally imagined or drawn, with whatever measurements, dimensions or laws you choose.Mountains are commonly applied today as an easily relatable and versatile model in the study and teaching of mathematics.

Anthony Giddens defines the scientific approach as the use of systematic empirical research methods to generate knowledge about the social world. It involves the application of logic, observation, and experimentation to understand patterns in social behavior and phenomena. Giddens emphasizes the importance of using evidence-based methods to develop theories and test hypotheses about social life.

Beneath is a preposition. A little trick to determining if a word if a preposition - over the mountain, under the mountain, beside the mountain, around the mountain, through the mountain, around the mountain, above the mountain, beneath the mountain, up the mountain, down the mountain, from the mountain, to the mountain, etc. If you can't do it to the mountain, it probably isn't a preposition.
It is on the highlands of central and southern Mexico. It is defined by temperate to cool forests along the Sierra Madre mountain ranges. One such example is the forests around the town of Cuetzalan, Mexico (20.018611, -97.521111).
