The BBC published this simple graphic today. An article on a forthcoming climb up Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief by celebrities included a very effective comparison between Everest, Kilimanjaro and Ben Nevis.

Some fruitful questions:

 

  • How are mountains formed?
  • Why are some mountains higher than others?
  • Why is it cooler at the top of a mountain when it is “nearer” the sun?
