The central element of this type of landscape is the mountain. Although it offers a beautiful landscape to the human being, the mountains from the geographical and geological point of view, contribute an important value to biodiversity. It regulates in a certain way the temperature of the places that are near the mountains themselves. They also retain water when it rains in their channels.
