Answer 1

A mountain range is basically a line of mountains. Anywhere on a geographical map of Asia, look for something that looks like lines of upside down "V"'s and the name of the range (aka line) shoud be near. :] good luck

Answer 2

A mountain range is a collection of a large number of peaky mountains that are located pretty close to each other. Examples: Himalayas in Asia or Alps in Italy. To identify them on a map you need to look for large areas of highly elevated ground. Look for large areas on the map with elevation above sea level greater than 3000 metres.

Answer 3

A mountain range is a chain of mountains bordered by lowlands or separated from other mountains by passes or rivers. Individual mountains within the same mountain range do not necessarily have the same geology, though they often do; they may be a mix of different orogeny, for example volcanoes, uplifted mountains or fold mountains and may, therefore, be of different rock. The Andes is the world's longest mountain range. The Himalaya contains the world's highest mountains. The Arctic Cordillera is the world's northernmost mountain system and contains the highest point in eastern North America.
