A strait is a narrow passage between two land masses, generally open at both ends. An inlet is open at one end, and is like a bay only usually a bit smaller. There are several different kinds of inlets.
The difference between a mountain and a hill is a matter of size. Some hills are almost mountains and some mountains are barely more than hills. Mountains are the more dominant land features and may have foothills.
By the way, these are really geography questions, not history questions.

An inlet is a narrow passage of water, as between two islands.
A strait is a narrow channel joining two larger bodies of water.
Mountains are BIG hills. Hills are only called mountains if they are 2000 or 3000 ft high.

I belive, not 100% sure about this but...
inlet onlt has one connection to the sea, so it is sort of more of an alcove, while a strait has 2 connections: it's more like a wide calm river.
There is an offical height differance between the 2 but i'm not sure of it. Also mountains tend to have snow and come indivigually, while sevral hills usually make an area, also hills are grassy while mountians are foten not.
P.S. you mean geography not history.
