24 Massive & Majestic Mountain Photos
Mountain ranges are quite spectacular, not only in beauty but also in the way they are made. The rocky mountains in North America for example were formed more than 100 million years ago when two tectonic plates collided and gradually pushed the earth upwards into the magnificent mountain range we see today. Similarly, Everest was made approximately 60 million years ago when the land mass of India moved northward toward the continent of EuroAsia.
The vast size of some of these mountain ranges is incredible. The top 6 longest mountain ranges in the world are:
- Andes- 7,000 km by 500 km
- Southern Great Escarpment- 5,000 km by 300 km
- Rocky Mountains- 4,800 km by 300 km
- Transantarctic Mountains- 3,542 km by 400 km
- Great Dividing Range- 3,059 km by 650 km
- Himalayas- 2,576 km by 350 km
Truly incredible! I’ve put together a collection of 24 beautiful mountain photos. Enjoy!
