can you give me info on mountains?

Mountains are either volcanic or tectonic.\n\nVolcanoes:\nThere are several processes in Plate Tectonics that cause volcanism, but they result in two main types of volcanism.\n\nVolcanism in subduction is caused by volitals, like H2O, CO2. These are carried down by the plate, mainly in the form of weak minerals. These minerals break down with pressure and temperature into stronger minerals that don't contain water and carbon dioxide. The leftover gases and liquids travel into the mantle (the mantle wedge) and hydrate the mantle, causing melting. The melt rises and then... volcano!\n\nThe other main cause is from rising mantle material, which forms decompression melting. Basically, hot mantle is kept from melting by the pressure of the earth at depth. When this material rises, the pressure drops much faster than the temperature, and thus it partially melts. This mainly occurs at divergent boundaries and hot spots, which are areas in plate tectonics that have rising materials or spreading.\n\nMountain Belts:\n\nNon-volcanic mountain belts are caused by compressive stress in plate tectonics. This can be 1. fold and thrust belts in highly compressive subduction zones (almost always from oceanic beneath continental subduction, e.g. east Andes, Rockies) or 2. continental-continental collisions (e.g. Himalaya, Appalachian).

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.

Rocky Mountains.  Care to be more specific????

Moisture..\n\nWind is wind... It's the wind chill factor and depends upon moisture on your body or moisture in the air.\n\nThe moisture either on your body or blown onto your body will be evaporated by your body. This uses up a lot of energy in the form of heat.\n\nMountains..\n\nIf mountains are near you and you are getting wind from the mountain range, chances are this wind will be hot and dry.. The wind hitting the other side of the mountains will loose all its moisture in preciptiation as the air rises and cools quickly causing the rain.. The wind coming from the mountains will be dry and warm.\n\n\nBlowing towards the mountains, the wind will be moist and back up to the top...

Seeing as all of your questions deal with the geography of the United States, what you need is a good map site.\n\nhttp://www.infoplease.com/atlas/unitedstates.html\nhttp://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0873836.html\nhttp://www.infoplease.com/search?fr=iptn&query=mountain+ranges+united+states&in=all&x=0&y=0

The Himalayas is a mountain range, not a mountain, Mount Everest is the tallest mountain, it is in the Himalayas.\nMount Everest is 8,844.43 metres high, in the center of the Himalayan Mountains on the border of Xizang (Tibet), China and Nepal. Mount Everest is the highest elevation in the world.

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.

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).

YES IT IS TRUE THAT THE MOUNTAINS YOU HAVE MENTIONED ABOVE HAVE A GREAT MAGNETIC POWER. THIS HAS A SIMPLE REASON.\nA MOUNTAIN CONTAINS LOTS OF METALS AND NATURAL MAGNETS.\nTHE MAGNETIC AREA CAN BE SEEN WITH A CAMERA WHICH SEES MAGNETIC FIELDS.

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.

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:
