Monadnock is an originally Native American term for an isolated hill or a lone mountain that has risen above the surrounding area, typically by surviving erosion. The name was taken from Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire (USA). The name is thought to derive from the Abenaki language, from either menonadenak ("smooth mountain") or menadena ("isolated mountain").
A valley typically has higher pressure compared to a mountain. This is because air tends to sink into valleys due to gravity, leading to slightly higher air pressure at lower elevations. In contrast, mountains have lower air pressure at higher elevations due to the thinner atmosphere.
A mountain breeze is a local wind pattern that occurs in mountainous areas. During the day, air at higher elevations becomes warmer and rises, creating a breeze that flows downhill towards lower elevations. At night, the process reverses as the air at lower elevations cools and sinks, creating a breeze that flows uphill.
With vast mountain ranges including the Himalayas that stand imposingly to the southwest, the Gobi Desert to the north, and the Pacific Ocean stretching out to the east, the people of the Yellow River valley were relatively isolated from the rest of the world until the 1800s

Mountain valleys can produce a microclimate due to their unique topography which can result in temperature inversions. This occurs when cooler air becomes trapped at lower elevations, causing temperature variations within the valley. Additionally, mountainous terrain can influence wind patterns, precipitation, and sunlight exposure, further shaping the microclimate of the valley.
Not its a valley not a mountain
no
the water is getting to high elevations
A mountain valley is commonly referred to simply as a "valley" or specifically as a "mountain valley" due to its location within a mountainous region.
