Just what mountain region are we talking about here......

no... because i know, before my class even started the topic of year 9 geology (i think the topic is called "Reading the Earth") - and i'm in year 9, i think this is form two for other countries and can be also known as grade 9), i know that the mountain ranges in the asian area was cause by plate tectonics crashing into each other - and through the topic i'm studying right now, I learnt that the type of boundary that is between the plates is called the collosion boundary where two plates of similar thickness collide creating mountain ranges as the ground is pushed upwards and downwards.

This depends a bit on what we call a "mountain range". However;\nThe big ranges (Andes, Himalaya, Alps etc) are all very young, most uplift in the past 30 million years and much in the past 3-5my\nThe mountain belt including the Scandinavian peninsula, the Scottish Highlands, English Lake District and Wales were part of an "Andean" type range about 400my ago.  The Apalachians in the US are actually part of the same chain, "broken off" so to speak.\n\nSome parts of the Scottish Highlands, in the north west, were formed in the core of a much older range, up to 2,500my, but it is debatable whether you can call that a "mountain range".\n\nThe very ancient granites and gneisses (>4,000my) in Canada, Australia, Southern Africa and Greenland were likewise probably part of a mountain building episode, though the Plate Tectonics that formed later mountains probably hadn't kicked in then.  And these days, those areas are mostly rather level and eroded.  The South Africa/Swaziland border where some of these rocks are found is pretty rugged, but whether you could call it a "mountain range" is again debatable.\n\nPart of the problem is that there are ancient rocks within some very young mountain ranges - the rocks are old but the uplift forming the mountains is recent.\n\nIf we call a mountain range a "linear feature of land with steep and rugged terrain significantly higher than the land either side" , and an old range is one that has always been relatively high, not recently pushed up, then we need to find such a feature made of Pre-Cambrian rocks to meet the definition of "oldest mountain range".\n\nOff the top of my head, I'd plump for parts of the Appalachians.  The main range is "only" a few hundred milion years old, but the Pre-Cambrian blocks within were probably standing as elevated mountain blocks when the plate collision forming the range began.  So there has been an elevated upland in that area for perhaps a billion years.

I've seen the mountain ranges in the Alps, the Himalayas, the Andes, and the mountains; Mt Kinabalu (highest mountain in South East Asia), several mountains in Taiwan, East Turkestan and Vietnam.\n\nThe Fishtail mountain (Macchapucchre) in Nepal is the most beautiful of them all.

Also check out the " Four Peaks Amethyst Mine", its in Arizona. It will give you additional information which you are seeking.

In the mountainous regions. Particularly, the Rockies, in Alaska, in the Tetons, in parts of Vermont and New Hampshire.

Almost totally covered by mountains, most of the state is a series of rolling hills, plateaus and ridges, punctuated by valleys. \n\n Over 50% of the land is still covered by forest land and the only lowlands are in the southeast. \n\n The Appalachian Mountains slice through the center of Pennsylvania, with the Allegheny and Pocano Mountains, the state's most significant subranges. The highest point in the state is Mt. Davis, at 3,213 ft \n\n Pine Creek Gorge, often called the "Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania," is 50 miles in length, and over 1,000 ft deep in places. \n\n No U.S. State is blessed with more deep and useful rivers. The Delaware, along its eastern borders, may well be the most valuable. \n\n Other very significant rivers include the Allegheny, Ohio, Monongahela and Susquehanna. \n\n For a closer look at the topography of Pennsylvania, view this map

Mountains... I currently live in southern Colorado and it seldolm rains.  I am studying to be a geologist and find the physics required to create these moutain belts fascinating.

Central and mountain.

.the mountainous area is cooler than the lowland area.\n\nLike the mountains west of LasVegas and LasVegas itself.

In the mountains or in the north (usually because of mountain springs and glaciers)

I hope this helps you out. It made me want to go on a vacation there myself! Good luck, and whatever you decide, have a very good time!\n\n\nhttp://www.mullinslogcabin.com/rates.html\nhttp://www.mountainparadisecabins.com/contact_reservation.html\nhttp://www.fewpb.net/~cccabins/Chestnut_Hilltop.htm\nhttp://www.fewpb.net/~cccabins/hunter.htm\nhttp://www.nbcabins.com/\nhttp://sceniccabin.com/\nhttp://www.cosbycreekcabins.com/\nhttp://greatrentals.com/KY/12249.html\nhttp://lakehousevacations.com/page-247.html

I went to Courchevel in France a few seasons back and it's awesome there. It's part of the three valleys so there is a massice linked ski area to cover. Way too much for a normal weeks boarding. The runs are great and there aren't too many drag lifts either (I hate those!)

mountain is where my son goes and he loves it. He can go there for a few years. It's a slep away camp. in sierra mountains in California.\n Lots of sports and also social.
