Life Science Stories worksheet about mountains, including information on habitats, animals, and snow, with illustrations of a mountain goat and snow leopard.

- Mountains cover about one fourth of all land on Earth.
- Mountains are made of rocks and come in many sizes.
- As you climb higher up a mountain, the habitat changes: grasslands and forests are at the bottom, but plants and animals slowly disappear higher up.
- Animals like mountain goats, birds, and snow leopards live in the trees and grasses of mountains.
- Trees do not grow at the highest elevations.
- Many tall mountains have ice or snow on top year-round, which melts in warmer parts of the year and runs downhill to form rivers and lakes.
