Mountain Area Total (Alpine, Montane, Nival and Remaining Moutain Area) km² @CityGlobeTour ********************************* The division of mountain areas into alpine, montane, nival, and remaining mountain areas can vary depending on the specific classification system and criteria used. These divisions are often based on elevation and climate characteristics. The exact areas for each category can also change depending on the region and geography in question. Here's a general overview of these categories, along with approximate global estimates of their respective areas in square kilometers (km²): 1 - Alpine Zone: The alpine zone is typically the region of a mountain where tree growth becomes limited due to the harsh climatic conditions at higher elevations. It is characterized by alpine meadows, rock, and snow. The elevation at which the alpine zone begins can vary but is often around 3,000 to 3,500 meters (9,800 to 11,500 feet) above sea level. a - A
