Mountains are formed either by erosion or the collision of two tectonic plates, which drives one upwards, creating the shape of the mountain.

Mountains are the largest landforms on the face of the earth and often has steep edges. Although there is no definition of a mountain set in stone, most geographers say that a mountain has to be height than 300 m above sea level, which rules out most "hills". Though there are some exceptions, like Mount Wycheproof, which only stands 43 metres above sea level.
