A string of mountains on land or the ocean floor refers to a linear arrangement of mountain peaks or ridges that are connected or aligned in a continuous manner. This geological feature is typically formed through tectonic processes such as plate tectonics or volcanic activity, where the Earth's crust is uplifted along a specific linear axis. Examples of string mountains include the mid-ocean ridges in the ocean floor or the Andes mountain range in South America.
