<span>Being one of the greatest mountain range, Himalayas divide mainland China from the Middle East, separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the elevated plateau in Central and East Asia. It’s highest peak is placed between Nepal and China which is called Mount Everest - Earth's highest mountain. According to its dimension and the areas which this structure embraces, Himalayas are one of the physical features that keep China as an isolated country.
The Japanese archipelago consists of 6,852 islands but some of them (because of close geographical position and small dimension) are united so that you usually may come across the couple of islands that defined as a whole one. Due to this fact, the most suitable approximate number for this case is 3000, as most of the previous number contains small and inhabited islands.
The climate of Gobi Desert is famous for its rapid and incredible changes of temperature during seasons. These changes are caused by wind blowing from the Siberian Steppes that makes this cold desert totally extreme. The temperature on Gobi ranges from −40 °C or −40 °F in winter to 45 °C or 113 °F in summer. The most unbelievable thing is that this temperature can vary within twenty four hours instead of seasonal periods. So the is 'Extremely cold winters and blistering hot summers'.
Japan is the island nation in Eastern Asia that embraces nearly 6850 islands forming the country. This huge archipelago consists of wide range of small islands including four main ones, which are : Hokkaido,
Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu. Honshu is the the largest island where the capital city is situated.

<u>Answer:
</u>
The process of thick sediment layers to "accumulate" along the "boundaries of continental and oceanic plates" is called Subduction.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
- During a marine transgression, sea level raises high compared to land level resulting in floods. These are triggered during climate changes, ice-age, isostatic movements.
- Subduction occurs at the tectonic plates where one plate is moves under another forcing to sink into Earth’s mantle due to the gravitational force.
- The plates are continental and oceanic in the zone of lithosphere. The rate of subduction is usually seven to 8 centimetres per year.
- Marine regressions are opposite to transgressions where sea levels fall compared to land levels.
- Glaciation is the interval of time within an ice-age. The current glacier period is of Holocene.
Climate change is happening, it is caused in large part by human activity, and it will have many serious and potentially damaging effects in the decades ahead. Greenhouse gas emissions from cars, power plants and other man-made sources—rather than natural variations in climate—are the primary cause. These emissions include carbon dioxide — the main greenhouse gas — which has reached a concentration level in our atmosphere that the Earth hasn’t seen for more than 400,000 years. These greenhouse gases act like a blanket, trapping the sun’s warmth near the earth’s surface, and affecting the planet’s climate system.
