World's Major Mountain Ranges

World's Major Mountain Ranges

Author: smartdbd01 November 24, 2024 Duration: 14:40
Mountains form through plate tectonics, volcanic activity, and tectonic collisions. The Himalayas and the Rockies are key examples. Major ranges like the Andes (5,500 miles) and the Alps (750 miles) shape cultures and histories. Mont Blanc is the highest peak in the Alps at 15,771 feet. Endemic species live only in specific mountains. The Himalayan blue poppy grows only in the Himalayas; snow leopards also thrive there. Human activities harm mountain ecosystems. Deforestation leads to soil erosion; climate change melts glaciers impacting water supplies. Mountains affect weather patterns by blocking winds and creating rain shadows. They play a big role in local climates and global water cycles.
