Mountain Range

A mountain range is a series of connected mountains that extend over a large area. They are formed by geological processes such as tectonic plate movements, which push the Earth's crust upward. Mountains in a range are often similar in age, structure, and appearance, and they typically run parallel or follow a specific direction. Mountain ranges shape climates, influence weather patterns, and serve as habitats for diverse plant and animal life. Examples include the Himalayas in Asia and the Rockies in North America, each formed through complex natural forces over millions of years.
