Evolution as in change from one state to another, but is that change from natural selection? I suspect it is change based on chemistry without inherited traits. A mountain can evolve through natural processes from a lump of fresh rock to a complex structure of peaks and valleys, but a mountain does not pass those traits along to offspring. So there is no natural selection driving the evolution of mountains.
