Thesaurus:mountain range
English
Sense: a group of mountains
- Note: Names of mountain ranges often simply use the plural of a name for an individual mountain: alps, highlands, hills, mountains, etc. See Thesaurus:mountain. Also, in informal usage that part is often omitted entirely, and the first part pluralized: the Rocky Mountains can be called the Rockies.
