Under the Himalayan constellation

Which country does the Himalayas belong to?

1. The Himalayas do not belong to a country. Its main part is at the junction of China and Nepal, which is the natural border between China and India, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan and other countries.

2. It starts from Nanga Parbat Peak in the northwest of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the west and reaches Nanga Bawa Peak at the sharp turn of the Yarlung Zangbo River in the east, with a total length of 2,450 kilometers and a width of 200-350 kilometers. According to the latest measurement data, the average annual increase of Mount Everest is 1 cm.

3. The Himalayan Mountains, which are more than 2,400 kilometers long from east to west and 200-300 kilometers long from north to south, are composed of several roughly parallel mountains with an arc protruding to the south, and are the main parts of China and Nepal. With an average elevation of 6000 meters, it is the most magnificent mountain range in the world.

There are 40 peaks above 7000m above sea level, and there are 10 peaks above 8000m (as of 1997, there are only 14 peaks above 8000m in the world). Mount Everest, the main peak, is the highest peak in the world, with an altitude of 8848.43 meters.

Extended data

1. The most typical features of the Himalayas are the towering height, steep and jagged peaks on one side, amazing valleys and alpine glaciers, deeply eroded terrain, unfathomable river canyons and complex geological structures, showing a series of altitude zones (or zones) with different ecological links between animals, plants and climate.

2. Seen from the south, the Himalayas are like a huge crescent moon, with the main optical axis above the snow line. Snow fields, alpine glaciers and avalanches all provide water for low-valley glaciers, and these glaciers have thus become the source of most Himalayan rivers. However, most of the Himalayas are below the snow line. The orogeny that created this mountain range is still active, accompanied by water erosion and large-scale landslides.

3. The Himalayan mountains are asymmetrical in topography, with gentle northern slope and steep southern slope. In the foothills of the northern slope, it is the lake basin belt of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China, and the lakeside grassland is rich, which is a good grassland. The great river that flows to the Indian Ocean,

Almost all of them originate from the northern slope and pass through the Himalayas, forming a grand canyon as deep as 3000-4000 meters. This river flows like a waterfall and contains huge hydraulic resources. The continuous peaks of the Himalayas block the humid air blowing from the Indian Ocean.

4. As a climate boundary that affects the atmosphere and water circulation system, the Himalayas have a decisive influence on the meteorological conditions of the Indian subcontinent in the south and the Central Asian highlands in the north. Because of the geographical location and amazing height,

In winter, the Great Himalayas prevent the cold air from the north from flowing into India, and at the same time force the southwest monsoon to give up most of the water before crossing the mountains and moving northward, resulting in huge precipitation (both rain and snow) on the Indian side and dryness in Tibet.
