 TIBET:
is located on the Tibetan Plateau,
the world's highest region. Most of the Himalaya mountain range, one of the youngest mountain ranges in the world at only 4 million years
old, lies within Tibet. Its most famous peak, Mount
Everest, is on Nepal's border with Tibet. The average
altitude is about 3,000 m in the south and 4,500 feet
in the north. The atmosphere is severely dry nine
months of the year, and average snowfall is only 18
inches, due to the rain shadow effect whereby mountain
ranges prevent moisture from the ocean from reaching
the plateaus. |
