Starting at the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, this large mountainous area encompasses the mountains of Spain, the Pyrenees, the Alps, the Carpathians, and then the Balkan Ranges before crossing into Asia as the mountains of Turkey, the Caucasus, the Zagros, and the Elburz.

Moving out of Iran, the master chain becomes the great central Asian complex that includes the Karakoram, Hindu Kush, and Himalaya. The spine of high mountains running south through Mexico and Central America is well-known, as are the great uninterrupted wall of the Andes. The mountains then cross to Antarctica as the ranges of the Antarctic Peninsula and the Transantarctic Mountains, ending at the north coast of Victoria Land.

From this huge but indistinct master chain there are two huge offshoots to the south: one starting in the eastern Mediterranean and following the great Rift Valley and Ethiopian Highlands to the Drakensberg of South Africa; the other originiaing at the east end of the Himalaya and winding down through Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and the Great Dividing Range of Australia.

How many are there in the world? Improve this question. Dirty-flow A lot of it depends on what you define as a mountain, which is why they can be difficult. Are two peaks on the same crop the same mountain, or two? Some define it as being separated by m of prominence. I think you're going to need to be more specific on how we should define a mountain And where the Himilayas start and end is a concern too.

Buni m is , Istor-o-nal 68th highest at are both in Pakistan and generally considered part of the Hindu Kush region, rather than the Himilayas. Hmm, also worth clarifying what you mean by peak - is it a mountain, or a 'peak' of a mountain one mountain can have several peaks above x metres — Mark Mayo. This question appears to be off-topic because it is purely about geography with no relevance to travel. I think it's an on-topic factoid because people do indeed travel to climb mountains and they want to know stuff like this.

It could've been worded more travellishly but that wouldn't change the resulting correct answer facts. It may also be on-topic on outdoors.

SE, if there was a geography. SE or climbing.
