Peaks, in the context of geography and topography, refer to the highest points or summits of mountains, hills, or any elevated landforms. These are land areas that have risen prominently above the surrounding terrain.
Peaks are typically characterized by their steep slopes and are often visually striking due to their elevation and distinctive shapes. Their heights can vary significantly, ranging from relatively small hills to towering mountains that reach great altitudes. Peaks can be found in various geographical formations, such as volcanic cones, fold mountains, or even independent standalone mountains. The term "peak" is commonly used to describe both individual summits and mountain ranges.

They often attract mountaineers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts who seek challenges, breathtaking views, and memorable experiences. The ascent to peaks can be physically demanding and require specialized skills, equipment, and knowledge.
Peaks contribute to the overall landscape, playing a crucial role in the water cycle and climate regulation of a region. They can affect weather patterns by influencing wind and cloud formations. Additionally, peaks may provide habitats for a variety of flora and fauna, some of which are specifically adapted to the high-altitude environment.
