令人震撼的十大名山之一。
珠峰所在的喜马拉雅山地区原是一片海洋,在漫长的地
质年代,从陆地上冲刷来大量的碎石和泥沙,堆积在喜马
拉雅山地区,形成了这里厚达3万米以上的海相沉积岩层。
以后,由于强烈的造山运动,使喜马拉雅山地区受挤压而
猛烈抬升,据测算,平均每一万年大约升高20~30米,直
至如今,喜马拉雅山区仍处在不断上升之中。
珠穆朗玛峰,峰高势伟,地理环境独特,峰顶的最低气温
常年在零下34℃。山上一些地方常年积雪不化,冰川、冰
坡、冰塔林到处可见。峰顶空气稀薄,空气的含氧量只有
东部平原地区的四分之一,经常刮七八级大风。十二级大
风也不少见。风吹积雪,四溅飞舞,弥漫天际。

Whales are huge animals. They live in the sea and eat small
fish and other sea life. One interesting fact is that whales can
jump high out of the water. Some kinds of whales are in
danger because humans catch them for meat, fat, and oil, and
use whale parts to make candles and soap. Whales are also in
danger from water pollution. We should protect whales by
making rules on whale protection
and by not putting rubbish into
the sea. I think people should
learn more about whales.
