picture info	Mountain A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1,000 feet) above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable ...

	Hobbs Glacier (Victoria Land) Hobbs Glacier is an eastward flowing glacier, about long, lying south of Blue Glacier on the coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was first explored by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Robert Falcon Scott. Scott's second expedition, the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, explored the area more thoroughly and named the glacier for Professor William H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, an authority on glaciology. Hobbs Stream Hobbs Ridge () is a prominent arc-shaped ridge which circumscribes Hobbs Glacier to the north and northwest and forms the divide with the lower part of Blue Glacier, on the Scott Coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named in association with ... is a seasonal meltwater stream flowing from the mouth of Hobbs Glacier. References Glaciers of Victoria Land Scott Coast {{ScottCoast-geo-stub ...
