List of mountain ranges

This is a list of

mountain range

s on

Earth

and a few other astronomical bodies. First, the highest and longest mountain ranges on Earth are listed, followed by more comprehensive alphabetical lists organized by continent. Ranges in the oceans and on other celestial bodies are listed afterwards.

Mountain ranges on planet Earth

By size

Note 1: A peak included in the "Eastern Pamirs" more often than in the

Kunlun Mountains

, as Kongur Tagh and the Kunlun range are ''separated'' by the large Yarkand River valley; no valley of such significance separates the Pamirs and Kongur Tagh, just political boundaries.

Note 2: Part of Hindu Kush-

Himalayas

region

All of the Asian ranges above have been formed in part over the past 35 to 55 million years by the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate. The Indian Plate is still particularly mobile and these mountain ranges continue to rise in elevation every year and this page may need to be updated in a few years; of these the Himalayas are rising most quickly; the

Kashmir

and Pamirs region to the north of the Indian subcontinent is the point of confluence of these mountains which encircle the Tibetan Plateau.

By prominence

See List of peaks by prominence (ranking the mountain ranges as well).
