In general, what are the himalayan mountains composed of: folded and bent rock.

  • The geology of the Himalayas is a record of the most dramatic and visible creations of the immense mountain range formed by plate tectonic forces and sculpted by weathering and erosion.
  • The Himalayas, which stretch over 2400 km between the Namcha Barwa syntaxis at the eastern end of the mountain range and the Nanga Parbat syntaxis at the western end, are the result of an ongoing orogeny — the collision of the continental crust of two tectonic plates, namely, the Indian Plate thrusting into the Eurasian Plate.
  • The Himalaya-Tibet region supplies fresh water for more than one-fifth of the world population, and accounts for a quarter of the global sedimentary budget.

Which of Australia’s physical features is circled on the map above? A. the Central Lowlands B. the Great Barrier Reef C. the Eas
nalin [4]

The correct answer is A. the Central Lowlands.


The Central Lowlands are a very interesting part of Australia. Big portion of this part of the country is actually lower than the sea level, so a slight increase in the sea level can make it a shallow sea inside of the continent. The biggest lakes of the country are located in here, but the problem is that most of the water is saline water because it is a remnant of the ocean water that once penetrated in here. It's a harsh place for living, while there's a short rainy season where huge amount of rain falls and everything turns green, after that it is dry for most of the year and it is pretty much desert like.
