| Abstract | The height and shape of mountain ranges exert a profound influence on the world around us. Mountains host a variety of ecological habitats, provide much of the water and nutrients necessary for life, the critical minerals needed for society, and influence climate and weather patterns. The size and shape of mountains reflect the underlying solid Earth processes responsible for how the crust deforms, for earthquakes, and for related natural hazards. Despite their importance, it remains exceptional |
