---

Part of the popular Scholastic "A True Book" series, "Mountains" by Larry Dane Brimmer introduces young readers to the fascinating world of earth science and geology. The book explains how mountains are formed over millions of years through the movement of tectonic plates, volcanic activity, and the folding and faulting of the Earth's crust.

Written in an accessible and engaging style, it covers various mountain ranges around the world, the unique ecosystems and wildlife that thrive at different altitudes, and how weather affects these massive landforms. Packed with vibrant color photographs, a glossary of geological terms, and a list of fun facts, this educational book serves as a perfect starter resource for young students eager to learn about the wonders of physical geography.
