A large tall rocky area of land that protrudes from the earth's surface is a mountain. Mountains are formed by the bending and buckling of the rock under the land.

Some do. These are called extrusive igneous rocks. However a large portion of igneous rocks form beneath the surface. These are intrusive igneous rocks.
The crystals may display a "Crescumulate texture".

A mountain is a natural, large elevation in the Earths surface. A basin is a depression in the Earths surface containing water.

It contains a biosphere.
The Earth's surface is broken into large pieces called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath them and interact at plate boundaries, where geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
Most of the earths surface is covered with water. There is land under that water though, below the surface.
