The Earth consists of land and water,
with approximately 29% covered by
land and about 71% by water. The
Earth's surface varies across different
regions, with some areas being flat and
level while others are elevated.
Landforms, which are natural
characteristics of the Earth's surface,
include mountains, plateaus, plains,
deserts, and rivers.

Mountains are landforms that elevate over 900
meters above the average sea level, covering
approximately 20 percent of the Earth's total
land area. Varying in height and shape,
mountains feature steep slopes, with their
highest point referred to as a peak or summit,
often displaying a conical shape.

Mountains are landforms that rise more
than 900 meters above mean sea level,
covering approximately 20% of Earth's
total land area. They vary in height and
shape, featuring steep slopes. The
highest point of a mountain is known as
a peak or summit, typically conical in
shape.

Mountains can combine to create chains
or ranges, sometimes with parallel
ranges that stretch for hundreds of
kilometers. Examples include the Andes
in South America and the Rockies in
North America.
