Physiographic world map with mountain ranges and highland areas in brown, pink, and gray This is a list of mountain ranges 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 Earth
By height Note 1: A peak included in the "Eastern Pamirs"[1] 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).
