There is actually a very good film that answers this question and I suggest you see it. It is called \n"the man that went up a hill and came down a mountain"\nThen you'll kmow...

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.

Actually, a mountain is anything over 2000 ft of local relief, hill is anything under.  \n\nThe world's tallest hill is in Poteau, OK, and is 1999 ft tall.

Yeah but it is called "The Hills"

Sure, why not.  I have a map that tells elevation and is color-coded for the geologic age of the exposed rocks.  That's four dimensions.

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.

deserts exists in almost all types of altitudes. it is caused due to lack of water and abudance of sand. so i would say the average would be the mid point between below sea level and mountanous level(5000 mts)...that would be about 2500 or less mts

YES. your geographical location, North Pole in this case, has nothing to do with elevation (uphill/downhill). So, theoretically you could stand on the north pole and walk up an adjacent hill. Your question is too easy to require a lot of knowledge to answer, yet at the same time it's too thought provoking to be considered a joke or just stupid question.

There is no specific dividing line between mountains and hills. In general a hill is smaller and is a weathered, eroded mountain, but there are many exceptions to that where hills have formed from erosion of peneplains or other features that weren't mountains. There's a discussion with no conclusion on Wikipedia. \n\nSince geographers work with the place names given to many features by the local inhabitants the distinction between mountain and hill tends to be relative to a region or area. In east Texas there are small hills named mountains. Another example is the well-known Yucca Mountain in Nevada which is a potential nuclear repository. It is not anything I would call a mountain. Another mountain that carries my surname is, much to my dismay, a hill among the surrounding mountains. It just happens to stand alone in the middle of a wide valley.

The HIGHEST is Mount Everest at 8,848 metres.\n\nPu'u Wekiu (in Hawaii, USA) is the tallest as it starts from the ocean.\nit is 4208 metres high

depends how high off the ground it is.

Mountain\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 Encyclopedia Britannica requires a prominence of 2,000 feet (610 m).

a platue has a flat top on it and a mountain goes to a peak,  that what i have been told.

Mount Everest is the highest point on Earth as measured by the height of its summit above sea level - 8,848 meters (29,028 feet).  It is part of the Himalaya range in High Asia, and is located on the border between Nepal and China.\n\nBut if you count the highest mountain from its base to its summit, the answer is Mauna Loa in Hawaii (most is under water, but its total height is 30,080 ft (9,170 m).

well no because the mountain is high and cold and it will take along time to get down and it would be hard to live in really.
