Definition and BoundariesMountains are obviously large. And because of their height there is normally a large range of altitudes, which creates a diverse scheme of habitats and wildlife in these habitats. Mountain peaks are typically cold and rocky, because of the altitude, and mountain bases are usually extremely forested. The boundaries extend into the surrounding valley or forest/jungle depending on the mountains location in the world.
