Mount Ararat is in Turkey. On the picture it's said to be in Armenia. May someone correct this. It could be said Turkey,Armenian Highlands Mount Ararat. Akyasu (talk) 15:09, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I added the info. If you check out the article on the mountain itself you will see that it's a political issue. PopSci (talk) 12:50, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Intro needs tweaking
This line appears currently: Mountains erode slowly through the action of rivers, weather conditions, and glaciers. i) It might be observed that along with certain coastlines, generally speaking mountains are amongst those landforms which erode most quickly - it is of course all a matter of perspective. ii) I'm not happy with weather conditions here - firstly 'weather conditions' are not the same as weathering which is where the text is linked to (though there is of course a link to be made) Might we be better to say something along the lines of: Mountains are amongst those landforms which erode most rapidly, through the action of rivers and glaciers, typically assisted by intense weathering and by mass movement. Would also want to insert 'mass movement' into the erosion section. I'm sure other editors can suggest an improvement on this. thanks Geopersona (talk) 06:33, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I've added this article to my list of articles to touch up. Based on number of visits, it ended up right at the top. So I'll probably get to this sooner rather than later. --Kent G. Budge (talk) 17:22, 2 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Looks like a sensible change to me. HiLo48 (talk) 22:24, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I've changed "weather conditions" to just "weathering", and brought the definition more in line with a reliable geologic dictionary: peaked, exposed bedrock, and minimum elevation of 300 meters or 1000 feet. Oddly, my textbooks on sedimentology say nothing about mountains showing intense weathering, though this was certainly my impression; in face, one reliable source states that steep slopes actually weather more slowly than moderate slopes. But "weathering" is not identical to "erosion" and I will dig into the sources to get this part right. I agree that we can't talk about mountain erosion and not talk about mass wasting and I'll work on that some more as well. --Kent G. Budge (talk) 18:36, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

UK definition of mountain
The article cited as the "authority" for UK now considering a mountain as 2,000 feet is hardly authoritative! In the comments on the cited article, someone mentions the Countryside and Rights of Way ("CROW") Act; this doesn't define a mountain in general way - it does define that for the purpose of deciding public access, the term

"“mountain” includes, subject to the following definition, any land situated more than 600 metres above sea level;

“mountain, moor, heath or down” does not include land which appears to the appropriate countryside body to consist of improved or semi-improved grassland;

As yet, I don't think any land owner has challenged the fact that all grassland in UK has been improved over the past several millenia. But that aside, a direct citation of CROW would be better - but not (in my opinion) authoritative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.235.156.39 (talk) 17:15, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
