Geography
1 answer:

Answer:

The convergence of tectonic plates, forming a mountain range.

Explanation:

On the diagram, we can see the Eurasian plate and Indian plate, as well as the movement of the Indian plate over time relative to the Eurasian plate. The Indian plate has been moving over the course of millions of years from the southern hemisphere toward the northern hemisphere and has eventually hit the Eurasian plate. The two plates have collided and formed a convergent plate boundary.

The convergence occurs between continental crusts. With the crust constantly creating an enormous amount of pressure along the plate boundary, the crust in this part has started to bend and lift up, gradually creating a mountain range. The mountain range that has formed here is actually the highest and most massive mountain range in the world, the Himalayas.

Construction work is being carried out for a railway route passing close to a mountain slope. Why is it necessary to cover the m
iogann1982 [59]

When building some infrastructure, in this case a railway, that is close to a mountain slope, it is necessary to cover the mountain slope with a wire mesh.

The biggest reason for that is the safety.

The steep mountain slopes can be very dangerous, because the rocks undergo the natural processes of weathering and erosion, which causes the rocks to break up and fall downwards. The railway can be locked in that way because there will be rocks on it, so the trains will not be able to pass further. But what is more concerning is that rocks may start falling directly on the train itself, or on the railway but when the train is passing through, and can cause a tragedy. The train may get pushed of the railway, or the rocks may knock it down or get through the windows, so lot of lives can be lost, as well as lot of damage will be done too.
