Why are the Himalayas still growing

History
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]4 years ago
3 0
Himalayas continue to rise more than 1 cm per year growth rate 10 km in a million years

Scientists believe that the Eurasian Plate may now be stretching out rather than thrusting up, and such stretching would result in some subsidence due to gravity.

At present, the movement of India continues to put enormous pressure on the Asian continent, and Tibet in turn presses on the landmass to the north that is hemming it in. The net effect of plate-tectonics forces acting on this geologically complicated region is to squeeze parts of Asia eastward toward the Pacific Ocean. One serious consequence of these processes is a deadly "domino" effect: tremendous stresses build up within the Earth's crust, which are relieved periodically by earthquakes along the numerous faults that scar the landscape. Some of the world's most destructive earthquakes in history are related to continuing tectonic processes that began some 50 million years ago when the Indian and Eurasian continents first met.

Which of the following is a characteristic of Japanese architecture as seen in Homero castle?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Japanese castles were built mainly with stone and wood. These evolved from the wooden buildings of previous centuries to the forms that arose at the end of the 16th century using the stone at the base of the castle. The high stone foundations, covert walls of lime and the organization of the buildings within the complex, are the standard elements of any Japanese castle.

One of the most important defensive elements of the Castle is the labyrinth with various paths that led to the main tower. The Castle has a complex of doors and walls very organized in its interior, and that had as objective to confuse the invading forces and attack them in a faster and more efficient way, due to the intricate roads towards the main tower. The elaborate defensive measures of the castle represent the best strategic design that occurred in that period.

The small openings in the walls that line the road would allow the defenders to bombard their enemies with anything. The doors, including the luxurious Hishi Gate, were constructed with narrow openings to prevent the advance of large groups. Even the white walls were a measure of defense: the plaster covering of the wooden structure helped protect the building and its occupants against fire, as did the ceramic tiles. With this combination of tactical circulation and defensive materials, Himeji Castle was not just an elegant palace: it was an almost impenetrable fortress.
