List of mountain ranges

This is a list of mountain ranges on Earth and a few other astronomical bodies.

* 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.

See List of peaks by prominence (ranking the mountain ranges as well).

Mountain systems, Himalayan ranges and chains by length (over 500 km): The longest mountain range in the world (above sea level) is the Andes, consisting of several subranges.
