Hello everyone! In this blog is about mountains….. 

Mountain air has less oxygen than sea level air - but that's not what makes mountain air special.

Mountain air contains more water vapor than dry air. 

Mountain winds are cool at night, warm during the day.

Because mountains block sunlight from reaching the Earth surface, they cause clouds to form over them. This keeps the Earth cooler during summer months, and warmer during winter months.

Mountains trap moisture coming off the oceans, allowing precipitation to fall as rain.

Mountains keep cold air away from populated areas.

Mountain is rich in minerals and its soil quality is superior to other lands. Its climate is moderate and stable.

Mountain has abundant water resources and many kinds of trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses and flowers.

Mountain has rich vegetation and plentiful wildlife.

There are plenty of medicinal plants and useful animals.

Mountain can provide clean drinking water.

Mountains have great scenic beauty.

Mountain is called the land of the immortals.

Mountain has different temperature than other parts of the world. As mentioned above, this area has an average high of -10°C and low of 10°C. This makes it one of the coldest places on Earth. On the contrary, the place where we live is characterized by an average temperature of 15°C year round.

Mountains are covered with snow. Snowfall, however, varies greatly depending on the type of mountain range. Some have over 200 cm of snow per winter; others receive little.

Mountain has higher levels of humidity than other parts of the planet. Average relative humidity is around 82% while the rest of the globe is around 72%.

Mountains are home to many animals, large and small, including various birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, and even crustaceans.

You will find here many kinds of vegetation, trees, grasses, mosses, lichens, ferns, shrubs, and flowers.

“Mountain” refers to any large natural elevation that rises above the surrounding terrain. The word comes from the Old English word meaning “height.” In some countries, mountains are called hills, but in other places they are named after their chief features: peaks, summits, etc. Today,many people use the term “mountain” to refer to any sizable hill or plateau, regardless of whether there is evidence of human habitation or not. 

Mountains - a beautiful natural monument which has become an object of tourism, recreation and conservation. Mountains protect water resources from evaporation and precipitation. They help in stabilizing the climate through their effect on wind currents and atmospheric temperatures. Mountains serve as barriers against flooding, landslides and erosion. Mountains influence the weather patterns, they can even change them. Mountains affect  the air pressure, and thereby create weather conditions suitable for life in different parts of the globe: tropical forests, temperate forests, tundra regions and deserts. The Alps have been a playground for mountaineers since the beginning of the 20th century. This area was once covered by glaciers, but these days are home to active volcanoes and many other attractions.
