Mountains and mountain ranges are found on every continent on Earth, making them one of the most common landscape features. Some mountains, such as the Appalachians of North America, are ancient and show visible signs of erosion. Other mountain ranges are comparatively young in geological terms and are still growing, for example, the Andes in South America and the Himalayas in Asia.

It is estimated that one eighth of the world's population lives in mountainous zones, and that mountains cover a quarter of the world's surface.

Half of the world's population relies on mountain watersheds for fresh water. Two billion people depend on mountains as source of food, hydro-electricity, timber or mineral resources.

Three quarters of the world's countries have mountain ranges or high plateaus, and a quarter of all tourists choose to play or relax in mountain ranges.

Thousands of different languages are spoken in mountain regions, and one billion people consider Mount Kailash in Asia to be a sacred mountain.
