erm that is not the question i was asking
Jacksonville, Florida is a flat port city on the eastern coast. There are no mountains.
Due to the altitude (low air pressure), and Low humidity, liquid moisture will become water vapor very quickly on top of a mountain.
For many reasons. People have fallen great distances and have been killed. Weather conditions can be bad, and can change very quickly. Avalanches, rock falls, landslides and volcanic eruptions pose threats to climbers. If a person gets injured, it can be difficult to get back down. In very high mountains, low amounts of oxygen can be a problem. For these and many other reasons, mountain climbing is dangerous.
Most mountains do not have large lakes on them because the steep terrain and lack of flat areas make it difficult for water to accumulate and form a lake. Additionally, the natural drainage patterns of mountains often funnel water quickly downhill instead of allowing it to pool and create a lake.
I did the same project. I titled my project, "Where Did That Disappear To?"
The Alps are the largest mountain range in Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. Liechtenstein, Austria and Switzerland can be considered the most mountainous countries in Europe. However the highest European mountain, Mont Blanc is at the French-Italian border.
Water flows in mountains due to gravity. When it rains or snows, the water collects at higher elevations and flows downhill, following the path of least resistance, forming streams and rivers as it travels. The steep slopes and rugged terrain of mountains provide ideal conditions for water to flow quickly and erode the landscape, creating valleys and canyons over time.
Mountain tops can be pointed or smooth depending on the type of rock and the erosion processes that have occurred. Pointed mountain tops are often formed by resistant rocks like granite that erode slowly, while smooth mountain tops can be the result of softer rocks that erode more quickly. Glaciers, wind, and water erosion can also contribute to shaping the tops of mountains.
Mountain and valley breezes are other examples of local winds caused by an area's geography. Campers in mountains areas may feel warm afternoon quickly change into cold night soon after the sun sets. During the day, the sun warms the air along the mountain slopes. This warm air rises up the mountain slopes, creating a valley breeze. At nightfall, the air along the mountain slopes cools. This is cool air moves down the slopes into the valley, producing a mountain breeze.

One thing that was true about both the Virginia and Maryland colonies was that they both grew quickly after difficult starts.
