Mountains

Mount St. Helens is currently in a state of volcanic quiescence, with no signs of imminent eruption. Monitoring stations are actively tracking the volcano's activity for any potential changes to provide early warning if it becomes restless again. The U.S. Geological Survey continues to keep a close eye on Mount St. Helens and surrounding areas for any signs of volcanic activity.

The temperature at high altitudes on Everest is very low, even though it is closer to the sun. This low temperature keeps the ice from melting. Additionally, the thin air on Everest reduces the sun's heat absorption, adding to the preservation of the ice.

Mount Everest is approximately 29,032 feet (348,384 inches) tall.

You should be more careful about radiation at the summit of a mountain, as higher altitudes expose you to more cosmic radiation due to reduced atmospheric shielding. On the beach, radiation risks are generally lower, but exposure to UV radiation from the sun can still be a concern and sun protection is important.

Mountain lions, also known as cougars, inhabit a variety of biomes, including forests, mountains, and deserts. They are adaptable predators that are found in North and South America, preferring areas with suitable prey availability and sufficient cover for hunting and resting. Their biome can range from dense forests to open grasslands, as long as there is a good supply of prey and adequate space for their territorial needs.

Mount Cerro Aconcagua is located in the Andes mountain range in South America. It is the highest peak in both the Andes range and the entire Western Hemisphere, towering at approximately 6,960.8 meters (22,837 ft) above sea level.

It is called a volcano, the hole is for the lava to come out.

At the summit of a mountain, you might find rocks, snow, glaciers, vegetation, and possibly a marker denoting the peak. Wildlife like mountain goats or birds may also be spotted at the mountain's peak.

Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano located on the Big Island of Hawaii. The peak is 13,803 feet above sea level.

Mountains in California can be found in the Sierra Nevada range on the eastern side of the state, the Coast Ranges along the western edge, and the Cascade Range in the northern part of California. These mountain ranges offer diverse landscapes and outdoor recreational opportunities for visitors and residents alike.

K2 is the second highest (as opposed to tallest) mountain in the world. The highest mountain is not necessarily the tallest, considering the difference in height between the peak and the surrounding base of the mountain. There is no precise definition of surrounding base, but Mount McKinley, Mount Kilimanjaro and Nanga Parbat are possible candidates for the tallest mountain on land by this measure. Mauna Kea, which is partially submerged in the ocean, is considered the tallest mountain in the world. It rises more than 10,000 meters (32,808 ft) from the floor of the Pacific Ocean. It is located in Hawaii, USA.

The atmospheric pressure will be greater at the base of the mountain because pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the weight of the overlying air. This means that as you climb higher up a mountain, the pressure will decrease.

A pride of lions is not just a group, it is a family with an organised structure. If you get 10 random lions and put them together you do not have a pride, just as if you pick random people, you don't end up with a family.

Organized groups of lion families - 'Prides'

Groups of nomadic male lions - 'Coalitions'

Hope that helped.

The Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range in Mexico has been a prominent geographic feature for centuries and was known to the indigenous populations of the region long before the arrival of Europeans. Therefore, it was not "discovered" at a specific point in time, as it has always been part of the natural landscape.

Another type of boundary where rock layers fold to form mountain ranges is a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates are pushed together, causing compression that leads to the folding and uplift of rock layers, resulting in the formation of mountain ranges.

Everest: 8,848 metres

K2: 8,611 metres

A stack of rocks built at the top of a mountain is called a cairn. They are often used as trail markers or symbols of accomplishment by hikers and mountaineers.

Mt. Olympus Mons could easily cover the state of Wyoming. It's almost three times taller than Mt. Everest, Earths tallest mountain. Mars has a thick, frozen crust that can support a lot of mass without cracking that's why it can carry a heavy object like the mighty Olympus mons.

Mount Kilimanjaro's elevation is approximately 19,341 feet (5,895 meters) above sea level.

Mountains are unique due to their towering heights and rugged terrain that provide homes to diverse ecosystems and rare species. They also play a key role in influencing weather patterns and water resources. Furthermore, mountains hold cultural significance for many societies around the world and offer recreational opportunities such as hiking, skiing, and mountaineering.

The Smokey Mountains got their name because the trees give off some chemicals which in the presence of sunlight convert to a biologically produced photochemical smog which gives the mountains a hazy atmosphere, they look smokey.

Mont Blanc, located on the French-Italian border, is the highest mountain in the Alps and the highest peak in Western Europe, reaching an elevation of 4,808 meters (15,774 feet) above sea level.

If we consider the bottom of Mauna Kea to be the ocean floor, then yes, Mauna Kea is higher than Mount Everest. But if we are talking about elevation above sea level, Mauna Kea is less than half the height of Eveest.

The height of Mount Everest above sea level is 8,848.86 meters.

The name Mount Meru comes from Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist cosmology, where it is believed to be the center of the universe and the axis mundi. In Hindu mythology, it is the residence of the gods. The name "Meru" is also connected to the Sanskrit word for "high" or "elevated."
