Mountains
-Mountains are formed by the movement of tectonic plates, specifically a convergent boundary, where two plates collide with each other.
- Mountains create a type of climate called orographic precipitation, where one side of the mountain is much wetter than the other. This could affect the decisions of people deciding where to live on the mountain.
- Mountains can be a source of freshwater, with many streams and runoff from snow.
- These effects can attract more people to live in the mountains.
