The distinction between a hill and a moutain
is unclear and largely subjective, but a hill is generally somewhat lower and less
steep than a mountain.
There are various specific names used to describe particular types of hill, based
on appearance and method of formation. Many such names originated in one geographical
region to describe a type of hill formation peculiar to that region, though the
names are often adopted by geologists and used in a wider geographical context
