<u>Answer:</u>

  • The native Nepalese Sherpas have been residing as a dominant community in relatively high altitudes near the Himalayas for generations now.
  • This has evolved their bodies to make the most efficient use of oxygen available in the thin airs of Himalayas.
  • That being the reason, Sherpas can endure the extremes of high-altitude weather better than most other people.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Sherpas have evolved and adapted themselves to the surrounding so finely, that their bodies have learnt to resist the scarcity of oxygen by making the most efficient use of available oxygen.
  • Their bodies have also attuned themselves to preserve and burn calories for a good long time .

A team of researchers calculates that a glacier will melt completely away in the next 100 years. Which land structure will most
Reil [10]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Table Mountains are generally considered to be one of the oldest mountains that are present on earth. They are nearly six times older than the Himalayas. It started to form about 800 million years back when the rock sandstone were created under the the surface of the water. These rocks were uplifted due to the upward thrust produced by the magma, as a result of which it slowly started to form volcanoes. Over the years, the earth has experienced much cooler temperature due to the occurrence of ice age events, due to which these rocks were crystallized forming intrusive igneous rock such as granite. This uplifted mountains and volcanoes were covered with ice and over a due course of time, because of the overlying weight, the mountains became flat and all of the ice were melt, thereby forming the table mountains.

Thus, it can be considered that the table mountains are formed after all of the glaciers are melt.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
