Types of Lands and soil- by harhsit singh
Mountain and Platues
Type of Farming
Mainly terrece farming is done
Low Oxygen
As altitude increases, pressure decreases and the air becomes 'thinner'. Higher pressure at sea level keeps oxygen molecules compressed together in air, so it is easier for us to breathe the amount we need in just one breath.
Soil
Inceptisols
Facts
A mountain is a landform that rises high above the surrounding terrain in a limited area.
Mount Everest is Earth's highest mountain above sea level, located in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas.
Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain on Earth. Measured from top to its base below sea level.
Mauna Kea beats Everest by 4,436 ft.
A plateau is an area of raised land that is flat on top.
The biggest, tallest plateau in the world is the Tibetan Plateau.
Factors affecting them
Mountain and Platues are changing day by day due to climate change, oxygen unstability (mainly disbalance of ecosystem).
Hill
Type of farming
Terrace cultivation, method of growing crops on sides of hills by planting on graduated terraces built into the slope.
Soil
siltstone and shale
Facts
Normally it is not as steep as a mountain.
The highest hill in the world is Cavanal Hill (formally Cavanal Mountain). It is located near Poteau, Oklahoma in the United States.
A hillock is a small hill.
Factors affecting it
Air pollution, factories, more farming, less productive etc.
Sea
a great body of salt water that covers much of the earth broadly : the waters of the earth as distinguished from the land and air.
Fact
The Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is the deepest known point in Earth's oceans. In 2010 the United States Center for Coastal & Ocean Mapping measured the depth of the Challenger Deep at 10,994 meters
Factors Affecting Sea
Water Pollution, Water tunnels etc.
Plains
Type of farming
Raising livestock and growing corns etc.
Facts
Indus Valley is a plain, located in Pakistan
Soil
These are fertile soil deposited by rivers on and near their banks.
Factors affecting it
Huge cities are plains and covered with building, highly productive but no place to use it
Desert
type of farming
No farming , onl cactus and dead bushes
Soil
Sandy Soil (large particles)
Facts
Sahara deset is largest deset in the world
Glaciers
Farming
No farming
Soil
No soil only, ice and water
Facts
The world's largest glacier is the Lambert glacier in Antarctica , according to the United States Geological Survey. The glacier is more than 60 miles (96 km) wide at its widest point, about 270 miles (435) long, and has been measured to be 8,200 feet (2,500 meters) deep at its center.
Factors affecting it
Global Warming, melting them down
