The Persian Gulf is a shallow inland sea of the Indian Ocean. It is well known as an oil producing region of the world. But few people know that this bay is constantly decreasing in size. The large rivers Tigris and Euphrates are “guilty” of this, which, merging, form a single channel. Through it, a significant amount of sediment is carried into the Persian Gulf every year. In this regard, the northern shores annually win back several tens of meters from the bay. Over the past thirty centuries, the coast of the bay has shifted to the south by more than 150 km. In the 1st century AD The Tigris and Euphrates separately flowed into the Persian Gulf and much further north than now.
Permafrost occupies 85% of the territory of Siberia. The most powerful layer of permafrost in the world is located in the central part of the Central Siberian Plateau, in the upper reaches of the Vilyui River. Here its thickness reaches almost 1500 m. The age of the permafrost is 300 thousand years, and in the north of Yakutia it is up to 700 thousand years and more. The depth of soil freezing in Siberia mainly ranges from 100 to 500 m. In Western Siberia, a layer of permafrost has been identified at a depth of 50–200 m.
The longest river in the world without a mouth is Tejen. It flows through the territory of Afghanistan, Iran and Turkmenistan. Its length is 1150 km. The river originates in the mountains at an altitude of almost 3000 m. It feeds mainly on melted snow waters. Within Turkmenistan, Tejen flows in a wide valley, dividing into several branches. In the lower reaches of the river, the waters are taken for irrigation. Therefore, this unusual river ends with a network of irrigation canals, giving all its waters to the fields.
The largest reservoir in the world in terms of volume is Bratskoye on the Angara River. It contains about 170 km3 of water. The Bratsk reservoir is 45 times larger than, for example, the Kiev reservoir. Filling it with water lasted six years.
Among the amazing natural phenomena and objects of India - the tallest grass in the world, the longest plant on the planet, the highest flowering plant on Earth.
The tallest grass is bamboo, whose height reaches more than 30 m, and the diameter of the trunk is 30 cm. In 1949, a 37 m long stem was cut down in India. see Bamboo blooms once every few decades. At the same time, it is very difficult to predict the year of its flowering. The longest plant is the Indian rattan liana. Its stem reaches a length of 300 m.
The highest altitude where flowering plants grow is about 6400 m above sea level. At this altitude, these plants were found in the mountains of India.
Two neighboring islands of the Malay Archipelago - Java and Sumatra have similar natural conditions, but in Java the population density is 30 times (!) More. This is due to the exceptional fertility of volcanic soils in Java: there are 120 volcanoes on the island, of which every fourth is active. Despite the constant danger of eruptions, people have long settled on the fertile lands of the slopes of volcanoes.
Read in the section
The area of Asia, together with the islands, exceeds 44 million square kilometers. Together with Europe, they form a single continent - Eurasia. There are more than 50 states on the territory of Asia, and they are all so different: India, China, Philippines, Russia, Uzbekistan. Each of them has its own customs and practices.
The term "Asia" itself comes from the ancient Greek language. Greek mythology, like any other, personified the phenomena of nature and the world. The name Asiya was borne by one of the oceanids, the wife of Prometheus. Hence the name of the mainland. By the time of Herodotus, this name was firmly entrenched behind the mainland, and the Scythians who lived beyond the Caspian Sea were called Asians.
2. So attractive and different
Asia itself is very diverse and contrasting: there are deserts and forests, steppes and mountains, jungles and tundra. It is in Asia that the highest mountain on the planet - Everest and the lowest place on land - the Dead Sea are located. The climate here is different: warm and humid in the south, cold in Siberia.
There is also a striking difference in culture, religion and the level of the economy.
So, for example, there are civilizations here, the history of which goes back thousands of years: Chinese, Japanese, Indian. It was here, on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates, that the very first states were born. Today in Asia there are countries with highly developed technologies(for example, Japan), and there are those where the inhabitants still lead a nomadic lifestyle (for example, the inhabitants of the Andaman Islands). Here are the most luxurious and rich cities, as well as the most terrible and poor slums.
And even women in Asia for every taste. So, in Muslim countries, they do not even show their faces, and in Thailand the number of prostitutes per Thai is greater than in any other state.
