The Alpine countries, sometimes called Alpine nations or Alpine states, are a group of nations taken to be part of either Central Europe along with the Visegrád group or Western Europe. The region takes its name from the Alps, the largest mountain ranges of Europe, stretching from Austria to France and including Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany. All of these nations include portions of the Alps, and because of this are termed the "Alpine countries".

There is no official classification for "Eastern" Montana when it comes to the West or Midwest. However, many would classify is as part of the Midwest since it is East of the Continental divide. If this is the best answer, please rate this the best answer. Thanks.

Landform is a very nebulous term that refers to any distinct topographical feature: mountains, valleys, rivers, plateaus, etc.  So, a famous landform in Asia would be the Mt. Everest.

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

Mount Elbrus (meaning twin peaks) is a peak located in the western Caucasus mountains, in Russia, near the border of Georgia. It is the highest mountain in the Caucasus which belongs to Europe (if the border between Europe and Asia is located south of Mount Elbrus - at the Kura and Qvirila rivers). Mt Elbrus (west summit) stands at 5,642 m (18,506 ft) and can be considered to be the highest mountain in Europe. The east summit is slightly lower: 5,621 m (18,442 ft).

There are three basic classifications of mountains. As I understand it, in the UK, the lowest is from 650 to 1000 meters.  So 650 meters is your answer.  However I would think the differential in altitude gain must be rather drastic in slope for it to count.  You can't go to high plains at 1000 m and say the plains are a Mountain.

administrative region....  Reading a little more, I see that a comarca is what we call a "county" in the US.  \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comarca

The usual definition is the watershed formed by the Ural mountain range, continued towards the Black Sea, and then Black Sea, Bosporus and Aegaeis.

Just to name a few...\n\nAlps, Himalayas, Rockies\n\nFor more info: http://www.peakware.com/areas.html\n\nAlthough the above link has ALL the ranges (a bit overwhelming) my suggestion, for your homework, is to find the high points of each continent and list that range. Those are likely the 'most important'.\n\nTo get you started:\nEurope: Mont Blanc (or Monte Bianco) (Actually, Russia may have a higher mountain technically in Europe)\nAsia: Mt. Everest\nNorth America: Mt. McKinnley (Denali)\nSouth America: Aconcaqua (SP?) in Argentina\nAfrica: ???\nAustralia: ???\nAntartica: ???

"Fault-block mountains are produced when normal (near vertical) faults fracture a section of continental crust. Vertical motion of the resulting blocks, sometimes accompanied by tilting, can then lead to high escarpments. These mountains are basically formed by the earth's crust being stretched and extended. Tilted blocks are common in the Basin and Range region of the western United States. Level blocks lead to the horst and graben terrain seen in northern Europe. Fault block mountains commonly accompany rifting and are indicators of tensional tectonic forces."

Another homework question.....how about looking in your book?  You don't provide a time frame or what PART of EUROPE to which you are referring.  You can get assistance if you direct your question more narrowly.

The Teton Mt. Range in Wyoming are fault block mountains & also the Sierra Nevada in California.\n\n\nNOTE TO ABOVE: Blue Ridge which is a part of the Appalachian is created by folding & so are the Rocky Mtns.\n\n:)

Air masses form over parts of the earth's surface called source regions, which are large bodies of water or landmasses with relatively uniform topography, often ranging hundreds of thousands of square miles in area.
