The main idea and supporting details of this passage:

Mountains are important landforms that affect the weather, plants, and animals around them. Because they are so tall, mountains can cause rain and snow when moist air is pushed up their slopes and cools. This is why many mountain areas have rivers and streams fed by melting snow. The plants and animals that live on mountains have special adaptations to survive the colder temperatures and thin air. For example, mountain goats have thick fur and strong hooves for climbing steep, rocky paths. People also rely on mountains for resources like fresh water, wood, and minerals. Around the world, mountains play a big role in both nature and human life.

What are:


Mountains are important because they affect the environment and provide for animals.

They can cause rain/snow that feed rivers and provide resources like wood, water, and minerals.
