Some mountains are so tall that they have cold, white snow on their peaks even in the summer. Hills are round and green, perfect for rolling down or flying a kite. Valleys are often shaped like the letter U or the letter V, and many have pretty flowers, tall trees, and sparkly rivers flowing through them.
- People and animals like to live in valleys because the ground is flat and there is plenty of water.
- The tallest mountain in the world is Mount Everest, which is over 29,000 feet high!
- Some mountains are actually volcanoes that can erupt with hot lava.
