Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm learning about mountains in school. How are mountains formed?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Mountains are formed when the Earth's crust is pushed upwards by tectonic forces. This can happen when two plates collide, or when magma rises from beneath the surface.<|im_end|>

What's the difference between a mountain and a hill?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Generally, a mountain is much taller and steeper than a hill. While there's no exact height that defines a mountain, it's often considered to be over 1,000 feet (300 meters) tall.<|im_end|>
