Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A mountain is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain in a limited area, with a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill, but there is no universally accepted standard definition for the height of a mountain or a hill although a mountain usually has an identifiable summit. Mountains cover 64% of Asia, 36% of North America, 25% of Europe, 22% of South America, 17% of Australia, and 3% of Africa. As a whole, 24% of the Earth's land mass is mountainous. 10% of people live in mountainous regions. Most of the world's rivers are fed from mountain sources, and more than half of humanity depends on mountains for water.[1][2]

The adjective montane is used to describe mountainous areas and things associated with them. Orology is its specialized field of studies, though the term is mostly replaced by "mountain studies". (Not to be confused with horology.)

Some authorities define a mountain as a peak with a topographic prominence over a defined value for example, according to the Britannica Student Encyclopedia, the term "generally refers to rises over 2,000 feet (610 m)".[3] The Encyclopædia Britannica, on the other hand, does not prescribe any height, merely stating that "the term has no standardized geological meaning".[4]

In the United States, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names lists hundreds of landscape features under 1,000&_160;feet (305&_160;m) (some as low as 100 feet) named as "mountains." This is true for all parts of the United States, including the west coast where such lofty ranges as the Cascade Mountains dominate. And yet the Board does not attempt to distinguish between such features as mountains, hills, or other prominences, and simply categorizes all of them as summit, regardless of what they are called or how high they are. However, the Board does list and categorize such low mountain ranges as the Mount Tom Range (with a high point of 1,200 feet; 366 m) as range.[1]

8. Guide For Buying a Second Hand Mountain Board
November 18, 2008

Mountain boards are certainly hardy pieces of equipment. They have to be, given the job they do and the terrain they are ridden on. Mountain boarders perform fast, tight carves, big air jumps and very heavy landings on sometimes uneven ground. All of this means that modern mountain boards are designed to be pushed hard, and this is great news for second hand buyers as used mountain boards very rarely have any serious damage. Also, almost all superficial damage to mountain boards doesn't affect performance in the same way that it might on a snowboard, therefore a beaten up mountain board probab... (read more)

These men, who history remembers as forty-niners, came to California with dreams of striking a mother lode of gold and spending the rest of their days in the lap of luxury.
