There is no universally-accepted definition of mountain, though some definitions have been created and applied. Often, whether something is called a mountain depends on what it is called by the local people. One more objective definition is that mountains are land areas that are >2,500m in height, or 1500-2499m if their slope is >2 degrees, or 1000-1499m if their slope is >5 degrees and local (radius 7km) elevation is >300m, or 300-999m if their local (radius 7km) elevation is >300m
