What is the general terrain in Mongolia?

Mongolia is a landlocked country in Central Asia. It is the 18th largest country in the world by land area, and is bordered by Russia to the north and China to the south, east and west. Mongolia is largely covered by rolling grasslands, with mountains in the north and west, and the Gobi Desert in the south.

* Mountains: The Altai Mountains in the west and the Khangai Mountains in the central part of the country are the two major mountain ranges in Mongolia. The highest point in Mongolia is Khuiten Peak in the Altai Mountains, which is 4,374 metres (14,350 ft) above sea level.

* Grasslands: The Mongolian Plateau is a vast, rolling grassland that covers much of the country. The grasslands are home to a variety of animals, including horses, sheep, goats, and camels.

* Deserts: The Gobi Desert is a large desert that covers parts of Mongolia, as well as China. The Gobi Desert is characterized by its arid climate, with little rainfall and high temperatures.

Mongolia is also known for its lakes and rivers. The largest lake in the country is Lake Khovsgol, which is located in the north-western part of the country. The Selenge River is the largest river in Mongolia, and it flows from the Khangai Mountains to the north and eventually empties into Lake Baikal in Russia.
