Mountain
A mountain is a large natural elevation of the Earth's surface that rises prominently above the surrounding land. Mountains are formed by geological processes such as tectonic movements and volcanic activity. They are often covered with forests, snow, or glaciers and provide habitats for many plants and animals. Mountains are important sources of fresh water and attract tourists for activities like hiking, climbing, and sightseeing. Famous mountains around the world include Mount Everest, which is located in Nepal and China.
