I would not ask this question if I was joking. Most of you dickheads have no idea do you? There are many mountains [in Ireland for instance] less than 2000' high. In the Himalayas there are mountains almost six miles high. You have access to the worlds greatest knowledge source and not one of you can answer a simple question of four words. And this is the INFORMATION age?

And dang me if three gobshites haven't given the simple little question a thumbs down. Is there no limit to the boundary of human stupidity?

A mountain is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain in a limited area. A mountain is generally higher and steeper than a hill, but there is considerable overlap, and usage often depends on local custom...

A Mountain is a thing of beauty can also be torture in the saddle to cycle up but a pleasure to others.
The views from a mountain can be spectacular or even looking up from the base but it can spoilt the suffering if you have to ride it.
Ireland has few peaks over 2000 feet only one over that altitude with a road that I ride frequently.
The difference between genius and stupidity is genius has its limits.
Thumbs up to your question.

A big hill that is a 1000 feet and higher is a Mountain anything smaller than a 1000 feet is a hill.

Generally, it is considered a mountain if it is taller and steeper than a hill. However, there is technically no height or mass requirements for a "hill" to be called a mountain. So the answer that said "if it's taller than 1,000ft." is not accurate.

It has to be 1000 fet high to be called a mountain. Lower than that and it is a hill.
