Mount Ararat is in Turkey. On the picture it's said to be in Armenia. May someone correct this. It could be said Turkey,Armenian Highlands Mount Ararat. Akyasu (talk) 15:09, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I added the info. If you check out the article on the mountain itself you will see that it's a political issue. PopSci (talk) 12:50, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

UK definition of mountain

The article cited as the "authority" for UK now considering a mountain as 2,000 feet is hardly authoritative! In the comments on the cited article, someone mentions the Countryside and Rights of Way ("CROW") Act; this doesn't define a mountain in general way - it does define that for the purpose of deciding public access, the term

"“mountain” includes, subject to the following definition, any land situated more than 600 metres above sea level;

“mountain, moor, heath or down” does not include land which appears to the appropriate countryside body to consist of improved or semi-improved grassland;

As yet, I don't think any land owner has challenged the fact that all grassland in UK has been improved over the past several millenia. But that aside, a direct citation of CROW would be better - but not (in my opinion) authoritative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.235.156.39 (talk) 17:15, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Live Mountains

Mountains are various types on earth which one covered by ice and somes of only big stones and etc .But I'm going to talking about forest canopy on mountains. It we called live Mountains these are possess a unique capability to regulate water resources, acting as natural water tanks that store water and gradually release it into surrounding streams and rivers. This characteristic not only supports the sustainability of ecosystems but also plays a crucial role in preventing floods and droughts in surrounding areas. In this article, we will explore the significance of mountains as efficient water regulators and discuss how they form an unparalleled irrigation system on Earth's ,Mountains very important to keep water on earth surface until rain.Actually some places are no mountains That place call Flat surface.there couldn't store the water. There have to make water tank to collect rain water.

As a side note, this is nice work! If possible, I would recommend producing a vector graphics version, which can be displayed at different sizes and is more accessible as text can be written in the image rather than baked in. Remsense ‥ 论 18:44, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh—where should I put it? I think it would be best to display as the full width of the page, not as a thumbnail, but it's not immediately clear where in the article it should go. Remsense ‥ 论 18:46, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
