Activity Incharge Mr.S.S.Londhe Ms.K.L.Patole Aim: To emphasize the global importance of mountains and to raise awareness about the challenges faced by mountainous regions. Objective: • To create awareness about the importance of mountains to life, • To highlight the opportunities and constraints in mountain development and • To build alliances that will bring positive change to mountain peoples and environments . The characteristics of mountain climate and ecosystems vary depending on specific altitude, the landforms, biomes, bodies of water surrounding the mountain, and proximity to the equator. These properties include rapid variation in weather and organisms, biodiversity, and the property of being fragile. All mountain ecosystems share the property of high altitude, rising rapidly from the surrounding terrain. Generally, mountainous regions are defined as any rugged gradient rising above 5,000 feet. Mountains are distinguished from plateaus by their grade. While plateaus are also found at 5,000 feet or more above sea level, they do not share the steep incline of a mountainous landform.
