i dont think there is a difference between the two. =o

A physical map shows physical features such as mountain ranges, etc. A political map shows man-made boundaries such as state lines, etc.

Ok rain and snow are part of it lol. The other is springs or ground water table.\nThe water table does not go by flat land or mountains lol. It is like a sponge that is soaked up with water and you fold it wat is still there but you got low water table with it and and you got high water table with it . Kinda goes with the land construe.\nFor an example If you drill a well on low flat land you may have to go down say 90 ft. When you drill on mountain you may only have to go down 45ft.

It's open to dispute:\n\nDefinitions of mountain on the Web:\n\na land mass that projects well above its surroundings; higher than a hill \ntons: a large number or amount; "made lots of new friends"; "she amassed a mountain of newspapers" \nwordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn\n\nA mountain is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain in a limited area. A mountain is generally much higher and steeper than a hill, but there is considerable overlap, and usage often depends on local custom. Some authorities define a mountain as a peak with a topographic prominence over an arbitrary value: for example, the Encyclopædia Britannica requires a prominence of 2,000 feet (610 m). \nen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain\n\nMountain was an American rock band active in the early 1970s. \nen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_(band)\n\nA natural elevation of a planetary surface.\nwww.psrd.hawaii.edu/PSRDglossary.html\n\nA high, raised part of the earth's surface with a pointed top.\nwww.mcwdn.org/MAPS&GLOBES/Glossary.html\n\nA biome of high ground with various types of vegetation depending on the elevation\nwww.planetpals.com/ecodictionary.html\n\na landscape feature, often with a pointed or rugged top, the rises high above the surrounding area\nwww3.newberry.org/k12maps/glossary/\n\nA landform with a high elevation.\nwww.mdk12.org/instruction/curriculum/science/glossary.shtml\n\nA general term for any landmass that stands above its surroundings. In the stricter geological sense, a mountain belt is a highly deformed part of Earth's crust that has been injected with igneous intrusions and the deeper parts of which have been metamorphosed.\nimnh.isu.edu/digitalatlas/glossary/letter.asp\n\nA landform that rises 1,000 or more feet above the land around it.\nwww.educationoasis.com/curriculum/Social_Studies/geo/geography_terms.htm\n\n(when used in the name of a property). A block of land separate from the main property, and in the surrounding uplands, on which slaves were given "provision grounds" on which to plant their crops. If for example the main property was named "Hope Penn," this land would be called "Hope Mountain."\njamaicanfamilysearch.com/Samples/Glossary.htm\n\nA mountain is a raised part of the earth’s surface. It is bigger than a hill. A mountain has to be at least 1,000 feet above the earth’s surface. Some mountains look pointed and sharp at the top. Other mountains look more round. When a mountain has a crater in its top, it is a volcano.\nwww.howardcc.edu/kids/geovoc.html\n\nA glacier that exists in or adjacent to a mountainous region.\nwww.wwnorton.com/college/geo/earth2/glossary/m.htm\n\nArizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming\nwww.thechittendens.com/glossary.html\n\nSo sometimes in excess of 1,000ft, sometimes 2,000ft, sometimes no height specified.\n\n\n\nI live in Izmir, on the west coast of Turkey. Around Izmir Bay are some small pimples (compared to the real mountains that Turkey has to offer) that only go up to about 1,000 metres which is about the same as Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales.\nAt the other end of Turkey is Mount Ararat, which reaches a height of 5,137m (16,894ft). This is the highest mountain IN THE WORLD (above the sea) when measured from base to peak, compared to Everest or K2 which stand on the shoulders of other mountains and are actually rather squat (if measured this way)!

You basically just asked this!!\n\nMass is the amount of matter in your body, weight is how much gravity is pulling on you.

Mountains don't have any geographic functions because they are usually something thats formed when plates collide during tectonic movement or oceanic lithosphere is subducted undearneath continental lithosphere and magma boils to the surface. If you want to learn more about mountains, take an Earth Science class, or looking up plate tectonics online.

Mass is the amount of material in an object. Mass stays the same no matter what force is acting on the object. This makes mass different from weight, which depends on both the amount of mass and the amount of gravity

No matter where you are, weight and mass are different things.  Mass is a measurement of a quantity of matter, while weight is a measurement of the force of gravity on a given mass.  Mass is an inherent quality in an object that doesn't change, no matter where it is.  Weight can change depending on where the object is.  \n\nIf you were to choose a set of units where either your mass or the acceleration due to gravity were equal to 1 at some point on earth, then your mass and weight would have an equal value, but that would only be true in those units, for your mass, at that point on earth, and doesn't mean that the two concepts are equal. \n\nThe two links below give more detail about the difference bewteen weight and gravity.

The previous answer is not quite true. Indeed they are not the same. Weight is a measure of force, whereas mass is mass.\nHowever, you do not weigh the same everywhere on earth, although you would be hard pressed to tell the difference.\nYour weight at the top of everest, for example, is less than at sea level, because the force being exerted on you by gravity is less, allbeit only by a small amount.\nAlso, weight is a unit of force, whereas mass is not.\nMy weight may be 100kg, but my mass is (approx) 980N (at sea level), so weight and mass are actually never equal

Gravity is an inverse square law for the further you are from the centre of mass the lower the graviational pull you feel. So yes gravity is less on the top of a mountain (and this has been measured) also these would be less air resistance as the air is of a lower density. These two factors would allow you to jump high, assuming you were on oxygen.

One of the features that make up the earth's surface, such as a plain, mountain, or valley

mountains form when techtonic plate hit each other, sometimes one will go over the other. they can also both go up and form a mountain. if 2 techtonic plates both dig downward then u have a valley.

"Mounting" elevation.\n\nDo you mean mountain?

Mountains are primarily ROCK. Most rock is non-porous and therefore holds water from rain or snow melt.

saad, hi!\n\ni found this neat description for you... it's put in simple layman terms...\n\nQ. What's the difference between weight and mass?\n\nA. As long as you stay on Earth, the difference is more philosophical than practical.\n\nQ. Uh...what do you mean by that?\n\nA. Well, mass is a measurement of how much matter is in an object; weight is a measurement of how hard gravity is pulling on that object. Your mass is the same wherever you are--on Earth, on the moon, floating in space--because the amount of stuff you're made of doesn't change. But your weight depends on how much gravity is acting on you at the moment; you'd weigh less on the moon than on Earth, and in interstellar space you'd weigh almost nothing at all.\n\nQ. But if you stay on Earth, gravity is always the same, so it really doesn't matter whether you talk about weight or mass.\n\nA. That's right...but scientists still like to be careful about distinguishing between the two. If you talk about the mass of an atom--as I will do from now on--you're always talking about the same thing; if you talk about its weight, what you mean depends on where the atom is. \n____________________________________________\n\nhope this helped...!\n\nenjoy!

Higher elevation is, obviously, higher than lower. It is more above sea level. The higher the elevation the more weather you have (i.e. snow)
