Let’s see what NATIONAL TODAY has to say about ..
MOUNTAINS..
Yes it looks like they really mean Mountains here on earth.
Here is what “Google” has to say..
Mountains are large landforms rising prominently above surroundings, formed by tectonic plate collisions, volcanic activity, or erosion, typically in ranges with peaks and steep slopes, crucial for water storage and unique ecosystems, with examples like the Himalayas (tectonic) and Mauna Kea (volcanic).
Get it? Got it? Good!
On December 11, we celebrate International Mountain Day.
On December 11, 2003, the United Nations established International Mountain Day each year for the protection and sustainability of mountains.
Mountains are some of the most interesting geological features that our world has to offer. Clear proof of the massive changes that happen beneath the surface of our planet, mountains have also served as playgrounds and places of worship for countless generations of humans.
Colorado contains 75% of the land area of the United States with an altitude over 10,000 feet.
