Rocky regions are areas characterized by rugged terrain, steep slopes, and rocky outcrops. These regions often include mountain ranges, hills, and cliffs, formed through geological processes such as tectonic activity and erosion. They can be found on every continent and are home to diverse ecosystems, supporting various plant and animal species adapted to harsh conditions. The Rocky Mountains in North America are a prominent example of a rocky region, stretching over 3,000 miles. These mountains provide habitats for wildlife, recreational opportunities for people, and are significant for their natural resources, including minerals and timber.
