Three ridges and three walls emphasize the shapeliness ___MASK66___ the form . The eastern ridge is one ___MASK66___ the ___MASK78___ familiar climbing routes ___MASK66___ the whole Rätikon range , but the normal way leads along the western ridge .

Within the Solar System , the terrestrial planets are the inner planets closest to the Sun , i . e . Mercury , Venus , Earth , and Mars . The terms " terrestrial planet " and " telluric planet " are derived from Latin words for Earth (" Terra " and " Tellus "), as these planets are , in terms ___MASK66___ composition , " Earth - like ". Schruns is a municipality in the Montafon valley in the Austrian state ___MASK66___ ___MASK3___ in the Bludenz district . ___MASK79___ , officially the Principality ___MASK66___ ___MASK79___ , is a doubly landlocked German - speaking microstate in Central Europe . It is a constitutional monarchy with the rank ___MASK66___ principality , headed by the Prince ___MASK66___ ___MASK79___ . A ___MASK46___ is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area , usually in the form ___MASK66___ a peak . A ___MASK46___ is generally steeper than a hill . Mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism . These forces can locally raise the surface ___MASK66___ the earth . Mountains erode slowly through the action ___MASK66___ rivers , weather conditions , and glaciers . A few mountains are isolated summits , but most occur in huge ___MASK46___ ranges . Montafon ( in local dialect : "" Muntafu ")" is a 39 km long valley in the federal state ___MASK66___ ___MASK3___ ( Austria ) that is crossed by the river Ill ( ___MASK3___ ). It extends from the city ___MASK66___ Bludenz and the Verwall Alps in the north , to the Silvretta and Rätikon mountain range in the south . Piz Buin is with 3312m the highest peak within the Silvretta mountain range . A glacier ( or ) is a persistent body ___MASK66___ dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight ; it forms where the accumulation ___MASK66___ 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 ice and lake ice that form on the surface ___MASK66___ bodies ___MASK66___ water .
