Which landform would be the hardest to hike?
Either a glacier or Antarctica would be difficult to hike due to the frigid temperatures. Otherwise, very tall mountain ranges cause considerable challenges. But lower elevations, such as found in the Appalachian Mountains are easier to hike.
If you performed a melting point experiment in the laboratory and on the top of the mountain would your results differ explain?
Yes because the atmospheric pressure at mountain is lower, therefore m.p becomes lower
Why is the air pressure lower at the top of a mountain than at the bottom of the mountain?
As you increase in altitude above the planet, there are fewer molecules. One way to think of this is that at the top of the mountain, there are fewer molecules "above you pushing down on you."because the is less air at the top of the mountain than at the bottom of the mountain
What happens to a moving air mass as it enters a mountainous region?
If the clouds are lower then the tops of the mountains they are caught and rain themselves out, which is why there are usually arid plains or deserts on/beside a mountain range. It is called a rain shadow.
Why is atmospheric pressure lower on the top of a mountain than it is at sea level?
When you are at a higher altitude, like on a mountain, you are farther up in the atmosphere meaning there is less air pressing down on you. When you are at a lower altitude, like at sea level, there is more air pressing down on you because there is more atmosphere above you.
Area of raised land that is lower and more rounded than a mountain?
Hill
What is the opposite of mountain?
The opposite landform could be a lowland. Or in the ocean, a trench, deep or abyss. In mountains, the natural opposite of a peak is a valley. The opposite structure of a mountain, where the elevation is lower rather than higher, is a crevasse or chasm.
When looking at 2 mountain ranges how can you tell which is older?
Typically, the mountain range with more rugged terrain, higher elevation, more erosion, and fewer vegetation cover is older. Older mountain ranges tend to have more signs of weathering and erosion compared to younger ones. Geological dating techniques can also be used to determine the age of a mountain range.
What is 1501.6 rounded to?
1501.6 is rounded to 1502 the no. 5 or higher is rounded higher and 4 or lower is rounded lower.
Why is Mam Tor called the shivering mountain?

What is Low land between two mountains is called?
Lower land between two mountains is called a valley.
Will temperature be higher or lower in a mountain?
it is lower temperature when you to mountain,because its cold there
Area of raised land that is lower and more rounded then a mountain?
The features you are describing are likely called hills. Hills are elevated landforms with a rounded summit that are smaller and lower in elevation compared to mountains.
How the shape of a mountain determine its age?
The shape of a mountain does not determine its age. How long a mountain has been there determines its age and its age determines its shape.The older a mountain is the longer there will habe been for the forces of weerosion to wear it away, thefore the older a mountain the flatter it will be come; Young mountains are high and spiky, old mountainds are lower and more rounded.
