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.

Mountain Ranges is a quick coverage on some interesting geographical mountain ranges, how they are formed and a bit about mountain climbing. Some of the interesting cordilleras include Sierra Nevada, Atlas, Great Divide, Alps, Himalayas, home to the tallest mountain, Mount Everest, and Andes, the longest mountain ranges. Kids interested in Geography would much enjoy this short audio book. Well narrated by Todd MacDonald.

Interesting Geography!

This excellent and concise five minute listen on mountain ranges taught me things I didn't know: for instance whole chains of mountain ranges are called cordillera. Descriptions of the most famous mountain ranges, Sierra Nevada in the United States and Africa’s Atlas mountains are described, but others are also included. The dangers of mountain climbing are discussed, the thinning air atop the peaks, and the need for mountain climbers to carry oxygen. Great short audio for kids and adults!

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!
