9. To be considered as a mountain it must…
A. Usually have narrow summits
and steep slopes
B. Rise at least 1000 ft above
surrounding land (above sea
level)
10. Group or chain of mountains that
are close together
A series of mountains that are
connected together generally to
form a long line of mountains

11. The Himalayas is most
famous for their tall peaks
Majority of the world's
tallest mountains are in the
Himalayas, including
Mount Everest

16. MOUNTAIN BELT
A group of mountain ranges with
similarity in form, structure and alignment
that have risen from the same cause,
usually an orogeny
17. MOUNTAIN BELT
A larger group of mountains including
mountain ranges and mountain systems
18. 1.Circum-Pacific Belt – rings the Pacific Ocean
2.Eurasian-Melanesian Belt – runs across northern Africa,
Southern Europe and Asia
Both belts are located along convergent plate boundaries
THE TWO MAJOR BELTS:
25. Orogeny is the process of
mountain building.
It is the primary mechanism by
which mountains are formed on
continents.
26. Orogeny happens when two
tectonic plates collide, either
pushing the Earth's crust upwards
or forcing one plate below
another.
27. No mountains become volcanoes
because it does not have a magma,
a crater and lava which is a
characteristic of a volcano.
28. Yes, because a volcano is a type of
mountain and it can be a part of a
mountain range.
It also shares features such as peak, base,
slope and elevation

39. Most of the world's major mountain belts are located
along tectonic plate boundaries. But mountain belts like
the Appalachians (AP-uh-LAY-chee-uhnz) in eastern
North America are in the interior of plates. Mountains
such as these were formed by ancient plate collisions
that assembled the present-day continents.
40. How intensely a mountain belt is folded depends on
how great the tectonic forces were

So for you, what is a mountain?
Now let us take a look on the definitions of mountain.
TEACHER: Which of these pictures best represent a mountain? Picture A or Picture B? Or both? Justify your answer.
( C A L L S T U D E N T S T O A N S W E R )
TEACHER: What other differences can you state about a hill compared to a mountain?
*Hill:
Lower altitude and elevation
Rounded top
TEACHER: Follow up question for an additional information: Which of these land features is older and why?
TEACHER: Intellectual guesses are very much welcome here.
Answer: Taller mountains are younger than the shorter ones because the shorter ones have endured more erosion over time.
Mountains with rounded top also tells us that this mountain is older.
Now let’s take a look on the criteria for an elevated land to be considered as a mountain.
Usually separated from other mountain ranges by passes and rivers
The Himalayas Travel from Afghanistan and Pakistan through India, Nepal and China, and all the way to Bhutan
a series of interconnected or geologically related mountain ranges.
Now bigger than a mountain system is the mountain belt or can also be called as mountain system
TEACHER: But, how are mountains actually formed?
TEACHER: To answer this question, get a whole sheet of paper. (Used papers will do)
TEACHER: Don’t worry because this isn’t a quiz, but only a demonstration of how mountains are actually formed.
MECHANICS:
Lay the paper flat on your table
Place both of your hands flat above the ends of the paper.
Think of your hands as two converging plates (continental crust to be particular) . When we say converging, how is it moving? Away or toward?
Now, slowly move your hands towards each other.
Then observe how the paper is moving. What do you notice?
An orogeny is an event that takes place at a convergent plate margin when plate motion compresses the margin.
This leads to both structural deformation and compositional differentiation of the Earth's lithosphere

TEACHER: Can you still remember how mountains are formed?
TEACHER: Is there a melting of crust taking place when mountains are formed?
TEACHER: Okay, there’s none since the plates that are colliding are of the same density or same component.
Volcanoes are mountains but they are very different from other mountains;
they are not formed by folding and crumpling or by uplift and erosion.
Instead, volcanoes are built by the accumulation of their own eruptive products -- lava, bombs (crusted over ash flows, and tephra (airborne ash and dust).
When volcanoes erupt on the ocean floor, they often create underwater mountains and mountain ranges as the released lava cools and hardens.
Volcanoes on the ocean floor become islands when the mountains become so large they rise above the surface of the ocean.
