Mountain peaks are generally fingertip-shaped peaks and have a certain height, mostly composed of rocks.


Mountain peaks also have faults, folds or shovels, the result of vertical joint control, and some are volcanic cones. When two plates squeeze each other, the convex one is called an anticline, and the concave one is called a syncline. The general anticline is called a mountain, and the syncline is called a valley. Sometimes the soil of the anticlines is crisp and loose, easily eroded into valleys or basins, while the synclines become mountain peaks. Here are some famous peaks for you.


1. Mount Everest



It is the main peak of the Himalayas and the highest mountain in the world. Mount Everest is a giant pyramid, majestic and majestic, with extremely steep terrain and a very complex environment. Snow line height: the north slope is 5800-6200 meters, and the south slope is 5500-6100 meters. On the glacier, there are various, magnificent and rare ice tower forests, ice cliffs with heights of dozens of meters, light and dark ice fissures with step-by-step traps, and dangerous ice avalanches and avalanches.


2. Mount K2



The peak of K2 is in the shape of a pyramid, with ice cliffs and steep mountains. The steep slopes are covered with chute marks from avalanches. The top of the mountain is an ice slope that rises slightly from north to south, with a large area. The north side is like a knife and an axe, with an average slope of more than 45 degrees. From the base camp on the north side to the summit, the vertical height difference is as high as 4,700 meters, which is the largest vertical height difference of peaks above 8,000 meters in the world. The glacier on the north side is called the Chogori Glacier, and the terrain is complex and changeable. The surface of the glacier is shattered, and the cracks of light and dark ice criss-cross. The valley on the west side of the glacier is a steep rock wall, and rolling rocks, ice avalanches, and avalanches are frequent. On both sides of K2, is the 44-kilometer Insugeti Glacier.


3. Kanchenjunga Peak



The name of Kanchenjunga Peak means "Five Treasures in the Snow". Although its popularity is far less than that of Mount Everest, which is only 262 meters taller than it, it was once thought to be the world's highest peak before the world's highest peak was confirmed. Kangchenjunga is a huge mountain with five peaks. During this period, many valley glaciers are formed, which makes the mountain more steep, and ice avalanches and avalanches occur frequently. Because it is located in the warm and humid air flow control area of ​​the Bay of Bengal, the precipitation is very large, and the ice and snow supply is sufficient. There is the Rem Glacier on the east slope, the Yaran Glacier on the west slope, and the Kanchenjunga Glacier and the Purul Glacier on the northwest slope. These glaciers flow fast and have more cracks. This group of peaks, affected by geographical location, is often covered with dense clouds, and it is difficult to show their true colors.
