	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Mountain range
		Individual mountains within the same mountain range do not necessarily have the same geology; they may be a mix of different orogeny, for example volcanoes, uplifted mountains or fold mountains and may, therefore, be of different rock.
		Singular mountains are often the result of volcanic processes but, in some instances such as the Hawaiian Islands, these processes can result in a chain of mountains that might be considered a mountain range.
		Mountain ranges can support different terrestrial biomes, at varying altitudes: at the bottom, they may have grassland, then a coniferous forest or boreal forest, then tundra at the top.

	Mountain - MSN Encarta
		Except for certain mountains that occur singly, the smallest unit pertaining to mountains is the range, comprising either a single complex ridge or a series of ridges generally alike in origin, age, and form.
		The dome structure is typified by the Henry and Abajo Mountains in Utah, and by the Adirondack Mountains in New York.
		Mountains resulting from this erosive sculpturing of the land may be linear in appearance if the resistant rock is the upturned edge of a sedimentary rock unit, flat-topped buttes or mesas if the harder rock is a flat-lying unit, or complex and irregular ranges if the resistant rocks are an uncovered intrusive igneous mass.

	Mountain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mountains are not generally favored for human habitation; the weather is harsher, less food is available, and there is little level ground suitable for farming.
		Most mountains of the world have been left in their natural state, and are today primarily used for recreation.
		A mountain is usually produced by the movement of lithospheric plates, either orogenic movement or epeirogenic movement.

	Mountain range - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mountain range (Sierra in the Spanish language) is a group of mountains bordered by lowlands or separated from other mountain ranges by passes or rivers.
		Mountains of the same mountain range do not necessarily have the same geology; they may be a mix of volcanoes and uplifted mountains.
		Mountain ranges can have different terrestrial biomes: at the bottom, they may have grasslands, then a coniferous forest or boreal forest, then a tundra at the top.

	Image of the Day : Cassini Spies Mountain Range on Titan
		The range of mountains, which are the tallest found on Titan to date, runs about 93 miles (150 kilometers) long and 19 miles (30 kilometers) wide with peaks reaching altitudes of nearly one mile (1.5 kilometers), Cassini researchers said.
		The Cassini spacecraft found the Titan-ic mountain range during an Oct. 25 flyby past the Saturnian moon using its Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer to pierce the satellite’s shroud of clouds.
		A closer look at the terrain yields not only mountains, but dunes, a deposit of material that resembles volcanic flow and mountain peaks coated in what appears to be a “snow” of methane or other organic material.

	Jura (mountain range) - MSN Encarta
		Jura (mountain range), mountain range, straddling the border between France and Switzerland.
		The range finally passes wholly into Switzerland and terminates on the southern bank of the Rhine west of its confluence with the Aare.
		The range thus defined is the Jura proper, but many geographers apply the name also to the mountains north of the Rhine and south of the Rhône, considering that these rivers merely make two breaks in an otherwise continuous chain.

	Mountain range on Titan - The Planetary Society Blog \| The Planetary Society
		The mountain range runs from northwest to southeast across the image and is made visible by the subtle effects of topographic shading on this cloudy world.
		Mountains and other topographic features are easy to spot elsewhere because the Sun usually lights up one side of a mountain, while shadows are cast on the opposite side.
		I believe that the patterns you are describing [the most prominent bright and dark markings] drape over the mountain ranges and are probably due to thin coatings of different hydrocarbon materials as well as the removal of the same.

	Mountain Range (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The main mountain range is 70 kilometres wide at the south of Diamante river and it diminishes northwards, to around 30 kilometres wide, in the park area.
		Landscape is determined by the structure, with a pile of different rocks (in terms of geology, the mountain range area is considered as a folded and moved strip, since this is the process suffered by the different levels: they have been folded and moved from their original position).
		The magnitude and the relatively recent raising of the mountain range have given place to a remarkable enhancing of the relief.

	Formation
		The Range forms the Eastern 'shoulder' or flank of the rift and whereas the Western shoulder is less obvious due to its complex form as a series of separate 'blocks'.
		The mountain range reflects the tectonic activity and uplift that has occurred along the Pacific margin during the rifting and break up of Gondwana and also the activity occurring at the present.
		The anomalously high uplift of the Transantarctic mountains is therefore explained by the high rigidty of the Precambrian craton of East Antarctica, and contrastingly the low uplift of the western (younger crust) flank.

	Global Derivatives v3.0 - Mountain Range Options
		Mountain range options are essentially a combination of basket options and range options, two types of exotic derivatives which have particular characteristics which make them useful hedging tools.
		With mountain ranges which have a greater number of dimensions such as Everest options, the difficulties in rapid and efficient convergence of simulation techniques becomes noticeable.
		In the case of mountain range options, the correction is likely to have a larger effect, as the number of time periods being simulated can be reduced by 1 and this will likely reduce additional errors.

	Mountain range Summary
		Mountain chains are elongate, elevated areas of the earth's surface comprising several sub-parallel mountain ranges.
		In the Barisan Mountains of Sumatra, Indonesia, oceanic lithosphere of the Indo-Australian Plate is obliquely subducted beneath continental crust of the Sunda Plate.
		Mountain chains formed by extensional faulting occur in areas of widely distributed extension, such as the Basin and Range Province of Utah and Wyoming.

	History of the world's tallest mountain range revealed - 04 October 2003 - New Scientist
		THE discovery of rocks in Nepal that are nearly 10 times as old as the Himalayas themselves suggests that today's mountains formed on the site of a much more ancient mountain range.
		He thinks erosion pared down the ancestral mountains around 450 million years ago and the site was blanketed by sediment until 55 million years ago.
		Other mountain ranges, such as the Alps, are thought to have formed above ancestral mountains, but the older range is not usually exactly on top of the younger one.

		Along these roughly north-south-trending faults mountains were uplifted and valleys down-dropped, producing the distinctive alternating pattern of linear mountain ranges and valleys of the Basin and Range province.
		Although there are other types of faults in the Basin and Range province, the extension and crustal stretching that have shaped the present landscape produce mostly normal faults.
		As the rocky ranges rise, they are immediately subject to weathering and erosion.

		Cassini found the summit of the range capped with brilliant white layers that are likely deposits of methane or another organic material.
