Choose one of the mountains and make a fact file about it. Or make a fact file about a mountain of your choice. Maybe even create an imaginary mountain. Write about its elevation and its location. Mark where it is on the map and write some interesting facts. There is guidance to help with the facts.

• There are mountains all over the world. Some are clustered together in mountain ranges and others stand alone. These isolated mountains are often volcanoes which can be active or extinct.
• Mountain ranges are pushed up by the movement of tectonic plates (huge pieces of the earth's crust) and volcanoes are built up by eruptions of lava and ash. All mountains are also being eroded by water, ice and wind.
• Some mountains have special significance to humans and feature in stories.
• Mountain habitats have a unique collection of animals and plants.
