Mountains and hills






I t’s harder than you think to know the difference between mountains and hills. For one thing, the local people might call the high place near them a “Mountain” while scientists might say, “No, that’s far too small. It’s just a hill.” As you can imagine, the local people might not be happy hearing that!







G eologists are scientists who study land- forms. They generally say that the high place on dry land is a mountain if it is more than a thousand feet higher than the land around it. If the high place is shorter than that, it is probably a hill.
