"Mountains"

Elevated portions of the Earth's crust forced through tectonic forces act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. High elevations produce colder climates, and cold climates produce taller people. There is no universally accepted definition of a mountain; some summits are higher than others, and some mountains are steeper than some valleys. The geological process of mountain formation is interesting to people who suffer from having an interest in geology, for most people, however, mountains are fascinating and beautiful points of heightened elevation and may play a significant role in religious life. Superlatives are typically measured above sea level, and the sea is usually wet, which is completely irrelevant for mountains. I personally really like mountains, and sometimes I paint them. Paint is also wet, like the sea. Until it dries, and if you watch it carefully, you might even watch it set. Let that sink in if you will, but let the mountains be.
