Learn about the world's greatest Mountain Ranges with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.
A mountain is defined as any hill that reaches 600 meters or more. Mountains come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some have sharp, pointed edges; others slope more gently. The terrain of a mountain is made up of peaks, valleys, escarpments and plateaus. And the collective name for a group of mountains is a mountain range.
Two of the most famous mountain ranges in the world are America’s Sierra Nevada and Africa’s Atlas mountains. But there are bigger mountain ranges. In some places, there are whole chains of them. These are given the name cordillera. Across a massive section of eastern Australia spreads a cordillera called the Great Dividing Range.

Any hill over 600 meters is classified as a mountain.
Most famous mountain ranges in the world: America's Sierra Nevada & Africa's Atlas Mountains
Escarpment (noun): a long, steep slope, especially one at the edge of a plateau or separating areas of land at different heights.
(Etymology) 1802, from French escarpment, from escarper "make into a steep slope," from escarpe "slope," from Italian scarpa.
Cordillera (noun): A collection of mountain ranges; a system or group of parallel mountain ranges together with the intervening plateaus and other features
(Etymology)
"continuous ridge or range of mountains," 1704, from Spanish cordillera, "mountain chain," from cordilla, in Old Spanish "string, rope" (in modern Spanish "guts of sheep"), diminutive of cuerda, from Latin chorda "cord, rope". Originally applied by the Spaniards to the Andes.
Mountain system: A number of cordillera grouped together
EX: The Alps (Europe) & The Himalayas (Nepal & Tibet)
Longest mountain system in the world - The Andes (South America), stretches more than 4,350 miles
Block Mountains: formed when movement in Earth's crust pushes fault lines together
Dome/Volcanic Mountains: formed when magma swells Earth's surface
Fold Mountains: formation when movement in Earth's tectonic plates or underlying base fragments pushes rock between them into great folds
So much more entertaining than expected!
