Large elevated landform

A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism. These forces can locally raise the surface of the earth. Mountains erode slowly through the action of rivers, weather conditions, and glaciers. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in huge mountain ranges.

OOC: The Mountain tag is used to indicate large elevations including significant hills. They are a location and should be contained in the largest entity that encompasses the vast majority of the mountain. If major parts of it are in multiple sovereign countries, use the containing continent or plane instead.
