A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area , usually in the form of a peak . A mountain is generally steeper than a hill . Mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism . These forces can locally raise the surface of the earth . Mountains erode slowly through the action of rivers , weather conditions , and glaciers . A few mountains are isolated summits , but most occur in huge mountain ranges . The Black Sea is a body of ___MASK11___ between Eastern Europe and Western Asia , bounded by Bulgaria , Georgia , Romania , Russia , Turkey , and Ukraine . It is supplied by a number of major rivers , such as the Danube , Dnieper , Rioni , Southern Bug , and Dniester . The Black Sea has an area of ( not including the Sea of Azov ), a maximum depth of , and a volume of . It is constrained by the Pontic Mountains to the south and by the Caucasus Mountains to the east , and features a wide shelf to the northwest . The longest east - west extent is about . The Southern ___MASK23___ Alps ( Italian : " Alpi Sud - orientali ") are the ranges of the Eastern Alps south of the Central Eastern Alps mainly located in northern Italy and the adjacent lands of Austria and Slovenia . The distinction from the Central Alps , where the higher peaks are located , is based on differences in geological composition . The Southern ___MASK23___ Alps extend from the Sobretta - Gavia range in Lombardy in the west to the Pohorje in Slovenia in the east . Volcanism is the phenomenon of eruption of molten ___MASK93___ ( magma ) onto the surface of the Earth or a solid - surface planet or moon , where lava , pyroclastics and volcanic gases erupt through a break in the surface called a vent . It includes all phenomena resulting from and causing magma within the crust or mantle of the body , to rise through the crust and form volcanic rocks on the surface . A glacier ( or ) is a persistent body of dense ___MASK48___ that is constantly moving under its own weight ; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation ( melting and sublimation ) over many years , often centuries . Glaciers slowly deform and flow due to stresses induced by their weight , creating crevasses , seracs , and other distinguishing features . They also abrade rock and debris from their substrate to create landforms such as cirques and moraines . Glaciers form only on land and are distinct from the much thinner sea ___MASK48___ and lake ___MASK48___ that form on the surface of bodies of water . Triglav National Park ( TNP ) is the only national park in Slovenia . It was established in its modern form in 1981 and is located in the northwestern part of the country , respectively the southeastern part of the Alpine massif . Mount Triglav , the highest peak of Julian Alps , stands almost in the middle of the national park . From it the valleys spread out radially , supplying ___MASK11___ to two large river systems with their sources in the Julian Alps : the Soa and the Sava , flowing to the Adriatic and Black Sea , respectively . A river is a natural flowing watercourse , usually freshwater , flowing towards an ocean , sea , lake or another river . In some cases a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of ___MASK11___ . Small rivers can be referred to using names such as stream , creek , brook , rivulet , and rill . There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features , although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size . Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location ; examples are " run " in some parts of the United States , " burn " in Scotland and northeast England , and " beck " in northern England . Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek , but not always : the language is vague . The Adriatic Sea is a body of ___MASK11___ separating the Italian Peninsula from the Balkan peninsula and the Apennine Mountains from the Dinaric Alps and adjacent ranges . The Adriatic is the northernmost arm of the Mediterranean Sea , extending from the Strait of Otranto ( where it connects to the Ionian Sea ) to the northwest and the Po Valley . The countries with coasts on the Adriatic are Albania , Bosnia and Herzegovina , Croatia , Greece , Italy , Montenegro and Slovenia . The Adriatic contains over 1 , 300 islands , mostly located along its eastern , Croatian , coast . It is divided into three basins , the northern being the shallowest and the southern being the deepest , with a maximum depth of . The Otranto Sill , an underwater ridge , is located at the border between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas . The prevailing currents flow counterclockwise from the Strait of Otranto , along the eastern coast and back to the strait along the western ( Italian ) coast . Tidal movements in the Adriatic are slight , although larger amplitudes are known to occur occasionally . The Adriatic ' s salinity is lower than the Mediterranean ' s because the Adriatic collects a third of the fresh ___MASK11___ flowing into the Mediterranean , acting as a dilution basin . The surface ___MASK11___ temperatures generally range from in summer to in winter , significantly moderating the Adriatic Basin ' s climate . Triglav ( pronounced ( tilau  ) ; German : Terglau , Italian : Tricorno ) , with an elevation of 2 , 864 metres ( 9 , 396 ft ) , is the highest mountain in Slovenia and the highest peak of the Julian Alps . The mountain is the pre - eminent symbol of the Slovene Nation . It is the centerpiece of Triglav National Park , Slovenia ' s only national park . Slovenia , officially the Republic of Slovenia ( Slovene : , abbr .: " RS "), is a nation state in southern Central Europe , located at the crossroads of main European cultural and trade routes . It is bordered by Italy to the west , Austria to the north , Hungary to the northeast , Croatia to the south and southeast , and the Adriatic Sea to the southwest . It covers and has a population of 2 . 06 million . It is a parliamentary republic and a member of the United Nations , European Union , and NATO . The capital and largest city is Ljubljana . The Julian Alps are a mountain range of the Southern ___MASK23___ Alps that stretch from northeastern Italy to Slovenia , where they rise to 2 , 864 m at Mount Triglav , the highest peak in Slovenia and of the former Yugoslavia . They are named after Julius Caesar , who founded the municipium of Cividale del Friuli at the foot of the mountains . A large part of the Julian Alps is included in Triglav National Park . The second highest peak of the range , the 2 , 775 m high Jôf di Montasio , lies in Italy .
