Geographically, Asia is the continent most fledgling. This continent is composed of many layers of strata had been accumulating very large quantities over time and endured the collisions with the other strata to make land in the region have increased impact. Collisions occur between the lamina strata in India to the southern edge of the continent 50 years ago has created the Himalayan mountains and Tibetan plateau.The Asian continent elevation from 8,848 m at the top of Mount Everest to 400 m at the dead sea. Mountains and plateaus occupy most of the territory of the continent; about 2/3 of the land lies at an altitude of over 500 m and about 1/5 of the territory above 3,000 m. highest mountain covers the area of 2,200,000 km2 in Central Asia one of the greatest mountain belt extends from the Chukchi peninsula in the North to the mountains in southern Siberia.Lowland plains occupy about 1/4 the Asian territories. The Plains and the plateau is also very extensive with Arab plateau in the West, the Deccan Plateau in the South and the Indo-Pacific plateau in the East. On the continent also has several large desert region in which the desert is the largest desert of Thar in India and Pakistan, the Takla Makan desert in China, the desert Rub ' al-Khali in Saudi Arabia, the Gobi desert in Mongolia and China.Asia has the world's largest rivers. The river Euphrates, Tigris, Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra and Irrawaddy provides irrigation water for nearly half of the land on the continent. The largest river basin on the continent is broad in China Tarim 951,500 km2, the other basins located in Afghanistan, Iran and Jordany. The Caspian Sea is the world's largest inland sea with an area of 386,400 km2. Land in Asia can be divided into several parts. The Arctic is in the process of forming through the initial tough soil. To the South is a transition belt of land region of tundra. The forest is located in the temperate subtropical climate. The land in the region of jungle and savanna are very fertile and rich in humus. The land in the region of desert and semi-desert humus material poverty. Metallic Brown soils in the Mediterranean region and red-yellow soil region in Subtropical climates the monsoon is the evidence for the accumulation of iron and aluminium oxide. Flora in Asia are very rich with plants in the Arctic tundra to the type of plant the steppes along the northern coast and in Siberia to plants in tropical rainforests in the South-East. Flora of North Asia is similar to that in Europe in which there are many types of cognate. The vast Tundra area in Siberia also many plants have flowers. The southern region was the swamp forests and coniferous forests. South and Southeast Asia is home to the tropical monsoon rainforest..Fauna of Asia are also very rich, stretching along the latitude and altitude. The migratory birds, caribou, Arctic fox, Arctic Hare and seals throughout the Arctic coasts; Moose, woodland caribou, brown bear, wild cats, weasels and hares lived very much in the Taiga; Antelope, wild sheep and goats are animals typical of the steppes and deserts of Asia; ...
