What distinguishes a hill from a mountain? Is it the feet?
402479
A mountain is a landmass that has a prominence of over 1,000 feet above surrounding terrain.  Anything less than that would be a hill.

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

Where countries have significant regions of differing altitude they will sometimes describe them like this.\n\nIt relates to the height above sea level, though not to any particular height. \n\nAs someone mentioned in Scotland they had highlands and lowlands. Similar with Papua New Guinea. In times past when transport wasn't so fast highland and lowland people sometimes had quite different ways of doing things which might have also been why the distinction was made.

Sediemnt travels dwonhill from a source, either by falling, water, wind, or other properties.  I'd be happy to give a more specific answer to you if your question was more specific.

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)!

Landscape.\n\nThink of it like this... if the long part goes left to right, like the horizon of the LAND, then it's landscape.\n\nIf the long edge goes up and down, like a family portriat, it's a portrait. (You've ever seen a family portrait that's wider then it is long?  I don't think so.)

I agree with the first answer.\n\nyou have to consider:\n-topography of location (is the area surrounded by mountains, or is the location a 'free-space' type?)\n-type of network to be built (wired or wireless?)\n-distances of endpoints (if you're opting for wireless)\n\nfor your reference:

Usually places that have more hills...mountain states, places in Ohio with foot hills, etc. The problem is you cant always avoid them. Its exactly the right combination of hot and cold air that causes them among other things. The best thing to know is what to do in case of them. I do understand how terrifying they are as I have been up close in personal with several. Just make sure you know how to handle it if it happens.

Greater the height of an object, greater is its potential energy (PE).  As a cycle speeds up while going downhill, its loses height; its PE decreases but it is converted into Kinetic Energy (KE).\n\nPE = mass  X acceleration due to gravity X height.\nor, PE =mgh\n\nTherefore, considering the base at the bottom of the hill, the height of the rock at the bottom is zero, and then, PE = m X g X 0=0\n\nWhereas, PE of the rock sitting at the top of a hill would be positive (calculate it using the formula PE=mgh) and thus, greater than the one at the bottom.

The most common type of mountain is the seamount.Therre are more of them  on the bottom of the sea than regular mountains on the surface of the earth.So,we regular folk don't see them because we can't afford the sub fare.

Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth, when measuring the height of its summit above sea level. Everest's summit ridge marks the border between Nepal and China. The summit of Mount Everest is rising at a rate of around 2.5 centimetres per year.\n\nIt is 8,848 metres (29,028 feet) above sea level.

Islands are pretty much the peaks of underwater mountains.  They stay above water because they've got more land underwater sitting on the ocean floor.

Heights!..How bout that?

"Unfortunately, there is no universally accepted standard definition for the height of a mountain or a hill although a mountain usually has an identifiable summit. In the United Kingdom, a mountain must be over 600 meters (1969 feet) or over 300 meters (984 feet) if it's an abrupt difference in the local topography. However, some hills can be called mountains and some mountains can be called hills - it's just a matter of the original name given to the relief."

Andes mountains are taller, the stream systems are straight, and the amount of distance between the mountains and the shoreline are different.  ie most of the distance to the shoreline was once up on the mountains.

a mountain wind would be colder, drier, and less fragrant\n\nof course it depends on what you call a mountain, some people use that name for ridiculous little molehills just cuz they're the only thing around, in that case not much.
