The foot of the hill!  I think you are trying to say Summit, but that means the highest point.

I was told that it was becuase of the mountains.The ice or snow of mountains would melt into water,forming small rivers that turn into more and more bigger rivers{or something like that} that turn into oceans."Where does the snow of a mountain or ice of a mountain come from?",you might ask.That I dont know.

Composite volcanoes/ strato volcanoe.\n\nSome of the Earth's grandest mountains are composite volcanoes--sometimes called stratovolcanoes. They are typically steep-sided, symmetrical cones of large dimension built of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and bombs and may rise as much as 8,000 feet above their bases. Some of the most conspicuous and beautiful mountains in the world are composite volcanoes, including Mount Fuji in Japan, Mount Cotopaxi in Ecuador, Mount Shasta in California, Mount Hood in Oregon, and Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier in Washington.\n\n\n**Here is a personal tip my teacher taught us..depending on the plate it's sitting on and the boundary you will know how the plates strike and collide ...in the case of helen think of yr two hands being forced together straight on max pressure eventually your fingers begin to cave and slide up ward together... it looks olmost pointy and cone shaped right? just like St. Helen... This is assuming you know about plates and faults ....Hopefully you do..if bot disregard..

The Himalaya is a mountain range in Asia, separating the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. By extension, it is also the name of the massive mountain system which includes the Himalaya proper, the Karakoram, the Hindu Kush, and a host of minor ranges extending from the Pamir Knot. The name is from Sanskrit himālaya, a tatpurusha compound meaning "the abode of snow" (from hima "snow", and ālaya "abode"; see also Himavat).\n\nTogether, the Himalaya mountain system is the planet's highest and home to all fourteen of the world's highest peaks: the Eight-thousanders, including Mount Everest. To comprehend the enormous scale of Himalaya peaks, consider that Aconcagua, in the Andes, at 6,962 m, is the highest peak outside the Himalaya, while the Himalaya system has over 100 separate mountains exceeding 7,200 m.\n\nThe Himalaya stretches across five nations, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. It is the source of three of the world's major river systems, the Indus Basin, the Ganga-Brahmaputra Basin and the Yangtze Basin. An estimated 750 million people live in the watershed area of the Himalayan rivers, which also includes Bangladesh.\n\nYou can read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himalayas

A Munro is a Scottish mountain with a height over 3000 feet (914.4 metres). They are named after Sir Hugh Munro (1856–1919), who produced the first attempt at an exhaustive catalogue of such hills, known as Munro's Tables, in 1891.

What type of mountains? The largest mountain chain in the world is the mid-oceanic ridge and it is created by upwelling mantle. Other types of mountains are created by the subduction of basalt under continental crust (e.g. the Andes Mountains). Still other types of mountains are created by continent-continent collision (e.g. the Alps). Still other types of mountains are created by hot spot vulcanism (e.g. The Hawaii Islands). Other types of mountains are created by trans-pression (e.g. The Coast Ranges of California). Be more specific as to which type of mountains you refer.
