	Mountain range
		A mountain range is a group of mountains bordered by lowlands or separated from other mountain ranges by passes or rivers.
		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.
		A range of mountains (often elongated) may be caused by tectonic plate interactions.

		Topography The Torghar Mountains (Black Mountains) in the Toba Kakar Range are a chain of rugged sandstone ridges, approximately 90 kms long and 20-25 kms wide.
		Grazing/Livestock/Wildlife The local Kakar tribesmen are semi-nomadic and are almost entirely dependent on domestic livestock, comprising large flocks of sheep and goats and a few donkeys and camels for their survival.
		As a result, they have decided to undertake a new system of conservative range management that emphasizes flock-size reduction and maintenance at the “drought level,” and thus the protection of the markhor and urial populations from competition for forage, especially in winter.
