Project of the week- Explore different mountains and create your own. 8

A few mountains are summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. High mountains are normally colder. The official UK government's definition of a mountain is a summit of 600 metres (1, 969 feet) or higher. Mountains can often be found in groups or mountain ranges. One example of a mountain range is the Himalayas, in Asia and Mount Everest. Another example of a mountain range is the Alps in Europe, where lots of people enjoy skiing.
