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.

What climate will countries from the northern and southern hemispheres experience from having the least direct sunlight?(1 point
earnstyle [38]

Winter is the phase of year when countries in the northern and southern hemispheres, respectively, see the least amount of direct sunlight.

December, January, and February in the Northern Hemisphere and June, July, and August in the Southern Hemisphere are the months when a portion of the Earth experiences the least amount of daylight. The Earth's 23.5° axial tilt as it orbits the sun causes solitons and varying solar declinations. This indicates that, during the year, one of the hemispheres is tilted toward the sun and receives the most intense solar rays, while the other receives the least amount of sunlight.

How did your prediction compared to the actual changes in sea level? What have you learned about sea level variations?
tatuchka [14]

1. My predictions about the changes in sea level have been relatively close to the actual rise of the sea waters, though it has been different than the general predictions of the numerous models of the countries. The predictions that I have made about the rise of the sea level have been based on the rate of melting of the polar ice, but also on the isostatic rebound that occurs because of it, and the influence that the greenhouse gasses have on the global temperature. The estimates that I made were showing a rise of only few centimeters, unlike the several meters predicted by most of the models. The closest model to what I have predicted is the Russian model, which is very different than the others.

2. The sea level variations are not very easy to predict, nor do they have any particular cycle that is repeating on approximately the same time. There are numerous factors that influence the variations of the sea level, such as the global temperature, with higher temperature meaning higher sea levels, and lower temperature meaning lower sea levels. The isostatic rebound of the continental land masses should also be taken in consideration, as the continents lift up when they don't have pressure on top of them from the ice, and sink down when they do have large ice masses on them, thus it can influence where the water can penetrate and where it can't. The position of the landmasses, composition of the atmosphere, as well as the geological activities, all have big influence on the variations of the sea levels, be it going up or down.
