No, the Khyber Pass has been closed for passenger travelling.

Khyber Pass, often called Khaybar or Khaibar, is a mountain range that separates the Pakistani state of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from the Afghan province of Nangarhar.

The pass links Peshawar, Pakistan, and Kabul and the city of Afghanistan. The range that the pass passes is sometimes referred to as the Khyber Range; it is made up of a number of dry broken hills that are the last outgrowths of the Spn Ghar (Pashto: "White Mountains") Range.

The route reaches the Khyber Hills at its southernmost point from the Shadi Bagiar gap, a few miles to the west of Jamrud, Pakistan. From there, it travels northwest for another 33 miles (53 km), to the town of Torkham, where the Afghan border is located.

The sparse Lowyah Dakkah plain of Afghanistan, which reaches north to the Kabul River, is reached after Torkham by way of a valley.

Yes, the line begins at Peshawar City and ended at Landi Khana. The total length of this railway line is 58 kilometers (36 mi) with 13 railway stations.

The Third Afghan War in 1919 highlighted to the British authorities the desirability of being able to rapidly concentrate military force at strategic locations on the Indian border in times of trouble. The Khyber Pass had a road suitable for motor transport, and an aerial ropeway was constructed using surplus parts from World War I, but something better was needed. As a result, the famous railway was built through the Khyber Pass.

The 1 676 mm gauge line planned by Colonel Gordon R Hearn started at the North Western Railway terminus near the fort at Jamrud and ran through the Pass towards the Afghan frontier.

The line was built to the newest loading gauge standards for Indian broad gauge railways, and featured extensive sidings and signaling to ensure it would be able to play a major role in carrying troops and supplies to the Khyber Pass and the Afghan border in the event of war.

The Khyber Pass railway is justifiably famous, and its history has been documented by others. The book Permanent Way Through the Khyber by engineer Victor Bayley is a fantastic read.

10. Name 4 ways human activities are heating up the planet​
qwelly [4]

Answer:

10 Human climate drivers include heat-trapping emissions from burning coal, gas and oil in power plants and cars; cutting down and burning forests; tiny pollution particles (aerosols); black carbon pollution more commonly referred to as soot; and changes in land use that also affects Earth's albedo

11 The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. ... The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth.

12 Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change. In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels, particularly for the power and transportation sectors, accounts for about three-quarters of our carbon emissions.

13 At every stage, food provisioning releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Farming in particular releases significant amounts of methane and nitrous oxide, two powerful greenhouse gases. ... Agriculture accounted for 10% of the EU's total greenhouse-gas emissions in 2012.

14 Cement manufacture contributes greenhouse gases both directly through the production of carbon dioxide when calcium carbonate is thermally decomposed, producing lime and carbon dioxide, and also through the use of energy, particularly from the combustion of fossil fuels.

15 When forests are destroyed by activities such as logging and land conversion for agriculture, they release large quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which can increase temperatures.

Hope this helps and God bless <3

How is a mineral of volcanic origin with large crystals most likely formed?
lara [203]

Mineral of volcanic origin with large crystals is formed by magma that cooled off deeper into the crust.

Explanation:

The rocks of volcanic origin are divided into two main categories by the place of formation, extrusive igneous rocks and intrusive igneous rocks. The extrusive igneous rocks are the ones that form on the surface or near the surface. The intrusive igneous rocks are the ones that form deeper into the crust.

The intrusive igneous rocks are formed by magma that has managed to penetrate the crust, but didn't managed to come to the surface. It started to cool off slowly over longer period of time, thus solidifying. Because the solidifying has been very slow, the minerals formed in this manner have big minerals, as they had time to grow.

Minerals of this type are:

  • granite
  • diorite
  • peridotite
  • gabro
