A mountain is a large landform that rises above the surrounding land in
a limited area, usually in the form of a peak. They are taller, higher and
steeper than hills. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces. These
forces can locally raise the surface of the earth. Mountains erode slowly
through the action of rivers, weather conditions and glaciers. A few
mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in huge mountain ranges
(groups). High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea
level.
The highest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest in the Himalayas of Asia,
whose summit is 8,850 metres above sea level. The highest known
mountain on any planet in the Solar System is Olympus Mons on Mars at
21,171 metres.

The coast is a strip of soil between the mainland and the sea. The coast is constantly
shaped by the action of the sea (waves and tides), the wind and atmospheric agents.
Coasts can be low or high, rocky or sandy.
Dracula arrives on the shore in Whitby,
England.

8. *
High coasts with cliffs: high and rocky
coasts are characterized by steep cliffs whose
base is excavated by the waves. Here we can
find spectacular shapes like arches, rocks
and caves.
Rias coasts: they originated as a consequence
of the sea invading old river valleys. The
heights form peninsula and capes.
Deep gulfs and creeks that host ports are
typical of this type of landscape. Old valleys
that were occupied by glaciers and that are
now invaded by the sea have formed
the fjords.

9. *
Low coasts: The most typical
shape of low coasts is a beach.
These beaches can stretch
more and set the borders of
the bay, forming a lagoon.
A lagoon is a stretch of sea, often some
kilometres wide, with shallow waters and
a low and sandy coast. The lagoon can be
connected to the open sea by canals that
facilitate water exchange and the lagoon
cleaning.The creature from the Black
Lagoon.
