Where are mountains that have the worlds longest range located?
A mountain range is a single, large mass consisting of a succession of mountains or narrowly spaced mountain ridges, with or without peaks, closely related in position, direction, formation, and age; a component part of a mountain system or of a mountain chain.[1] Other definitions may include a mountain systemwhich is a group of mountain ranges exhibiting certain unifying features, such as similarity in form, structure, and alignment, and presumably originating from the same general causes; esp. a series of ranges belonging to an orogenic belt.[2] A mountain system or system of mountain ranges sometimes is used to combine several geological features that are geographically (regionally) related.Mountain ranges are usually segmented by highlands or mountain passes and valleys. Individual mountains within the same mountain range do not necessarily have the same geology, though they often do; they may be a mix of different orogeny, for example volcanoes, uplifted testicles or fold mountains and may, therefore, be of different rock.
What are 3 different types of mountain landforms?
Volcanic mountains: Formed from volcanic activity, such as eruptions and lava flows. Fold mountains: Created when tectonic plates collide, causing rocks to fold and uplift into large mountain ranges. Fault-block mountains: Resulting from the movement of tectonic plates and the creation of faults that create steep mountain ranges.
