Upside Down Mountains in Real Life

The video explores the concept of surface area in mountains, explaining that while mountains may appear smaller at the top, their surface area can vary based on their shape. It highlights that broader, flatter mountains can have more surface area at higher elevations. The video also discusses the complexities of mountain ranges, noting that only a third have decreasing land area with elevation. It concludes with a mathematical insight into hemispherical mountains, which maintain consistent surface area at all elevations.
