Do you know this about the mountains?


- Earthquakes have caused pits or mounds to form on the surface. Filling deep pits created seas and lakes. And the high hills became mountains. A mountain that is usually higher than 200 meters is called a mountain. Mostly mountains are mountain ranges.

- The largest mountain range in the world is the Himalayas. There are many peaks in this 216 km long mountain range. Mount Everest is the highest. Then there are the Karakuram and Pamir mountain ranges.

- Other famous mountains in the world include Europe's Alps and Caucasus. The highest peak in the Alps, Mont Blanc, is 310 meters high.

- Kili Manjaro and the Ruwenzori Mountains are well known in Africa. Kili Manjaro is a dormant volcano.

- The largest mountain in the world is Maunakia, which is 404 meters high. But a large part of it is submerged in the sea.
