Question

Is there a figure of speech found in "Lofty mountains that pierce the clouds and reach to dizzying heights may appear to us humans as coldly majestic, lonely, even forbidding. Yet to a great variety of wildlife they constitute home. Some of these creatures would never think of descending to lower altitudes. And to see them in a zoo, even if they could long survive such a humiliating experience, one could gain no realistic idea of their way of life among peaks and chasm"? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

there is a transferred epithet (dizzying heights) and personification (mountains appearing lonely).
