How is the Earth tilted on the winter solstice?

Social Studies
1 answer:
NeTakaya3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Solstices occur when Earth's axis is pointed directly toward our Sun. This happens twice a year during Earth's orbit. On that same day, the southern hemisphere is tilted 23.5 degrees away from our Sun and the southern regions of Earth experience the shortest day of the year — the winter solstice.

Where are mainly snow peaks found in himalyaa
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Greater Himalayas are home to some of the tallest peaks in the world. To the north of the major middle thrust, the tallest mountain ranges ascend suddenly to 4,000 meters or 13,000 feet, into the territory of everlasting frost and snow.

Mount Everest

Mount Everest is on the crest of the Great Himalayas of southern Asia, lying on the border between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. This is the tallest peak in the world, at an elevation of 29,029 ft or 8,848 m above sea level.

Its identity as the highest point on the earth’s surface was not recognized until 1852, when it was established by the governmental Survey of India. Previously referred to as Peak XV, the mountain was renamed in 1865 for Sir George Everest, the British surveyor general in India from 1830 to 1843.

Karakoram (K2)

The Karakorams are a large mountain range spanning the borders of Pakistan, China and India. It is the second highest mountain range in the world and home to K2, the second tallest mountain in the world.

The mountain was initially discovered by a British photographer and traveler, Henry Godwin-Austen, and the peak was named after him.

The peak has an elevation of 8,611 m or 28,250 ft. It is also known as “Chogo Ri”, which plainly denotes the “Great Mountains.” Karakoram is the most heavily glaciated part of the world outside the Polar Regions, with 28-50% of its area covered by glaciers.

Kanchenjunga

Kanchenjunga is situated in the eastern Himalayas on the border between Sikkim state in northeastern India, and eastern Nepal; 46 miles or 74 km northwest of Darjeeling, Sikkim. It is the world’s third highest mountain, at an elevation of 28,169 feet or 8,586 meters.

The name Kanchenjunga is derived from four words of Tibetan origin. It is interpreted in Sikkim as “Five Treasures of the Great Snow,” And consists of Neoproterozoic- to Ordovician-aged rocks.

The mountain and its glaciers receive heavy snow during the summer monsoon season and a lighter snowfall during winter.

Lhotse

Standing at 8,516 m, Lhotse is the fourth highest mountain in the world. It is situated at the border of Tibet and Nepal. Its long east-west crest is located immediately south of Mount Everest, and the summits of the two mountains are connected by the South Col, a vertical ridge that never drops below 8,000 m.

Lhotse was sometimes mistaken as the south peak of the Everest massif. No serious attention was given to climbing it until Everest had finally been ascended. Lhotse was first climbed in 1956 as an alternative route towards the summit of Everest.
