Amazing Sahara desert

The Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert in the world, and the third largest overall after the Antarctica and the Arctic. The Sahara Desert covers an incredible 9.2 million km², which is almost the same size as China, and a total of 8% of the earth's land area. 

The enormous desert spans 11 countries: Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Western Sahara, Sudan and Tunisia. The Sahara desert has a variety of land features, but is most famous for the sand dune fields that are often depicted in movies.

 Purely in terms of size, the Antarctic Desert is the largest desert on the planet, measuring a total of 13.8 million square kilometers (or 5,500,000 square miles). Antarctica is not only the most isolated continent on Earth but also the coldest.

 The Sahara Desert covers an area of northern Africa larger than the lower 48 United States. And it's growing even bigger. ... So some areas that were once semi-arid grassland have become desert.

 As well as being the largest and driest desert, the Antarctic Ice Sheet, which occupies around 99% of the continent, is also the coldest desert on Earth.

 The population of the Sahara is just two million. People who live in the Sahara are predominantly nomads, who move from place to place depending on the seasons. Whilst others live in permanent communities near water sources. The Sahara Desert really is an intriguing and beautiful place, waiting to be explored.

 The depth of sand in ergs varies widely around the world, ranging from only a few centimeters deep in the Selima Sand Sheet of Southern Egypt, to approximately 1 m (3.3 ft) in the Simpson Desert, and 21–43 m (69–141 ft) in the Sahara.

Amazing Himalaya mountain

Geography: The Himalayas stretch across the northeastern portion of India. They cover approximately 1,500 mi (2,400 km) and pass through the nations of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Bhutan and Nepal.

The Himalayas are a range of mountains in Asia. The Himalaya proper stretches from the Indus river in Pakistan, through India, Nepal, and Bhutan, and ends at the Bramaputra River in eastern India.

Fold mountains are the most common type of mountain in the world. The rugged, soaring heights of the Himalayas, Andes, and Alps are all active fold mountains. The Himalayas stretch through the borders of China, Bhutan, Nepal, India, and Pakistan.

 The Himalayas are a prime example of how tectonic plate motion can manipulate the earth in extraordinary ways. These colliding plates resulted in the formation of the highest mountain range on the planet. Our continents are carried by a series of tectonic plates located in the earth's lithosphere.

 “The best time for foothills of the Himalayas is March to November. Every season is different. June and September is my favourite time for the Himalayas, because it is hot, has clear sky and beautifully green.

 The mountains are known as the Himalaya or Himal in Nepali, the Himalaya or 'The Land of Snow' in Tibetan and Hindi, the Hamaleh Mountain Range in Urdu, and the Ximalaya Mountain Range ( Ximalāya Shanmai) in Chinese.

The Himalayas consist of three parallel ranges, the Greater Himalayas known as the Himadri, the Lesser Himalayas called the Himachal, and the Shivalik hills, which comprise the foothills. Mount Everest at a height of 8848m is the highest peak followed by the Kanchanjunga at 8598 m.

Amazing Greenland

Greenland is the world's largest island, located between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.

 Greenland can hardly be thought of as a developing nation." Charles Tudor is right. According to the World Bank, Greenland is definitively high-income and has been since 1989. The average income per resident is about $33,000.

 

The Greenlandic language is roughly divided into four dialects: South Greenlandic, West Greenlandic, East Greenlandic and the Thule dialect. West Greenlandic is the official language which all children learn in addition to Danish and English.

 

 There are tarmac roads in all towns in Greenland. That is why cars are popular and well used as transportation means, especially in the larger towns such as Nuuk, Sisimiut, Ilulissat and Qaqortoq. ...

 Greenland, the world's largest island, lying in the North Atlantic Ocean. Greenland is noted for its vast tundra and immense glaciers. Map of Greenland highlighting the major geographic regions and the locations of human settlement.

 

 Greenland's strategic value is linked tightly to new North Atlantic shipping lanes opening up due to melting polar ice caps. ... Greenland's largest economic drivers are fishing and tourism, but the island has drawn rising interest due to its vast natural resources, including coal, zinc, copper, iron ore and rare minerals.
