Mass wasting, also known as mass movement, is the type of erosion that involves the larger portion of loose rock or soil breaking off a mountain due to gravity. This can result in processes like landslides, rockfalls, or slumps.
The gradual wearing away of land surface materials, especially rocks, sediments, and soils, by the action of water, wind, or a glacier. Usually erosion also involves the transport of eroded material from one place to another, as from the top of a mountain to an adjacent valley, or from the upstream portion of a river to the downstream portion.
As a mountain is eroded, the mountain root (the deep-seated portion of the mountain that stabilizes it) may become exposed or covered by eroded material. The root may also be weakened or eroded, contributing to the overall erosion of the mountain.
Glaciers are typically considered the least important agent of erosion because they are localized to colder regions and cover a relatively small portion of Earth's surface compared to other agents like water and wind.
The portion of the land mass that extends into the ocean is called a "coastline." It is the boundary where the land meets the sea, and it can vary in length and shape due to factors like erosion and tectonic activity.
The leeward side of a mountain, also known as the rain shadow side, typically receives less precipitation because as air descends down the mountain, it warms and is not able to hold as much moisture. This results in decreased cloud formation and precipitation on the leeward side compared to the windward side.

Yes, there is a mountain range in Sweden covering a large portion of northern Sweden. The highest mountain is Kebnekaise at 2104 m.
Mt Vesuvius is located in the southern portion of the Apennine mountain range. This mountain chain extends throughout peninsular Italy.
From the top of a mountain, you can see a large portion of the sky, including the horizon and the space above it.
The Appalachian Mountain Range stretches northeast to southwest across the eastern portion of the United States, running from Alabama to Newfoundland in Canada. It is known for its diverse ecosystems and is one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world.
