Difference between Basin and Range Province and Mountain

Basin and Range Province vs. Mountain

The Basin and Range Province is a vast physiographic region covering much of the inland Western United States and northwestern Mexico. A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak.

Isostasy

Isostasy (Greek ''ísos'' "equal", ''stásis'' "standstill") is the state of gravitational equilibrium between Earth's crust and mantle such that the crust "floats" at an elevation that depends on its thickness and density.
