Introduction of Mount Qomolangma scenic spot at an altitude; Elevation of Mount Everest Scenic Area

Mount Everest is 8.84443 kilometers above sea level.

Mount Qomolangma (hereinafter referred to as Mount Qomolangma) is the main peak of the Himalayas and the highest mountain in the world. It is located on the border between China and Nepal, with the northern part in Dingri County, Tibet, China (the western slope is in Zhaxizong Township of Dingri County, and the eastern slope is in Qudang Township of Dingri County, with the base camp of Mount Everest), and the southern part is in Nepal, making it the highest mountain in the world. It is also the center of Mount Everest Nature Reserve and Nepalese National Park, which span four counties in China.

In Tibetan, "Everest" means "goddess", "Langma" means "mother elephant", and the whole meaning is "mother of the earth".

The height of Mount Everest, the snow height (total height) adopted by Nepalese and other countries is 8848 meters, which is consistent with the measured value of Mount Everest by China surveyors in 1975; In China, the rock surface height (bare height or geological height) measured by the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping of China in 2005 was 8844.43 meters. In 2005, the accurate measurement and publication of the rock surface elevation of Mount Everest at an altitude of 8844.43 meters was strictly scientific and legal, and it has been adopted as the unified standard data in China. No unit or individual may use the legally published elevation data of Mount Everest, that is, 8844.43 meters, before the new elevation data of Mount Everest is published by the authorized department of the State Council or the State Council.

1. Mount Qomolangma, referred to as Mount Qomolangma, also translated as Mount Qomolangma. Nepal is called Sagamata Peak, also known as "Mount Everest". It is located in the Himalayas at the border between the people of China and Nepal, and it is covered with snow all year round. Mount Everest is 8844.43 meters high, which is the highest peak in the world and one of the top ten most beautiful and shocking peaks in China.

Mount Everest is in the shape of a huge pyramid. It is magnificent, with extremely steep terrain and extremely complicated environment. There are various, magnificent and rare ice towers on the glacier, ice cliffs as high as tens of meters, light and dark ice cracks that sink step by step, and dangerous ice collapses and avalanches. Mount Everest is not only magnificent, but also magnificent. There are many peaks and mountains within 20 kilometers around it.

2. The State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping of China made the last survey of Mount Everest in 2005. On May 22nd, 2005, the China survey and altimetry team successfully reached the top of Mount Everest. On June 9, 2005, the Bureau of Surveying and Mapping announced that the altitude of the rock surface of Mount Everest should be 8844.43 meters and the ice thickness should be 3.50 meters. This is the first time to measure the elevation of the rock surface of Mount Qomolangma. It is said to be the most accurate measurement so far, which is 3.7 meters shorter than the 8848. 13 meter of Mount Qomolangma measured in 1975. In order to obtain more accurate authoritative data, the National Bureau of Surveying and Mapping of China adopted the technical scheme of combining classical survey with satellite GPS survey, and used the snow and ice depth radar detector in Everest survey for the first time. Chen Bangzhu, director of the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping of China, said that in March this year, a large-scale scientific research activity of Mount Everest retest was launched, which lasted more than two months of hard exploration. On May 22nd, the first batch of climbers successfully reached the summit at 1 1: 08, and the survey of Everest summit went smoothly. There are other sayings that the height of Mount Everest is 8848 meters, 8840 meters, 8850 meters and 8882 meters.

Information about Mount Everest

Mount Qomolangma, also referred to as Mount Qomolangma, is called Sagamata in Nepal, and it is also called "Mount Qomolangma". It is located in the Himalayan Mountains where the people of China and Nepal border, and it is covered with snow all year round. At an altitude of 8844.43 meters, it is the highest mountain in the world and one of the ten most beautiful and shocking famous mountains in China.

brief introduction

Mount Everest, which means "Virgin Mary" in Tibetan, is the highest mountain in the world, with an altitude of 8844.43 meters. It is an approximately east-west arc mountain system, located in the middle part of the Himalayas, on the border between China and Nepal, just south of Dingri County in Shigatse, Tibet. In the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi (17 17), "Jumulang Maalin" was written in the Imperial Map, which accurately marked the position of this peak. 1858, under the auspices of the British, the Indian Survey Bureau named this mountain after the surname of its former director, S.G.Everest. 1952, China government renamed this peak as Mount Everest. This mountain is a huge pyramid with huge glaciers, the longest of which is 26 kilometers. At the foot of the mountain is the highest temple in the world, Rongbu Temple. On May 25th 1960 and May 27th 1975, the China mountaineering team reached the summit from the north slope. China Academy of Sciences has organized many large-scale comprehensive scientific investigations and obtained important scientific data. The scenery of Mount Qomolangma area

First summit time:1May 29th, 953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzin Norguet.

The Himalayas have four peaks over 8000 meters and 38 peaks over 7000 meters, so it is also called the roof of the world. At the foot of Mount Everest, there are many large-scale modern glaciers, and glacier landforms such as knife ridges, knife peaks and ice buckets are widely distributed.

Mount Everest lies on the border between China and Nepal. Its northern slope is in Tibet and its southern slope is in Nepal. Mount Everest is 8844.43 meters above sea level, which is the main peak of the Himalayas and the highest mountain in the world. In Tibetan, "Everest" means goddess, and "Langma" means third. Because there are four peaks near Mount Qomolangma, and Mount Qomolangma ranks third, it is called Mount Qomolangma. Mount Everest is in the shape of a huge pyramid. It is magnificent, the terrain is extremely steep and the environment is very complicated. Snow line height: 5800 ~ 6200m on the north slope and 5500 ~ 6 100m on the south slope. There are three steep walls (north wall, east wall and southwest wall) between the northeast ridge, southeast ridge and Xishan ridge, and 548 continental glaciers are distributed between these ridges and cliffs, with a total area of 1 457.07 square kilometers and an average thickness of 7260 meters. The replenishment of glaciers is mainly formed by the snow metamorphism in the two major precipitation zones of the Indian Ocean monsoon belt. There are various, magnificent and rare ice towers on the glacier, ice cliffs as high as tens of meters, light and dark ice cracks with traps step by step, and dangerous ice collapse areas. Everest flora and fauna

Mount Everest is not only magnificent, but also magnificent. There are many peaks and mountains within 20 kilometers around it. There are more than 40 peaks above 7000 meters above sea level. The famous ones are Luozi Peak (8516m above sea level, the fourth highest peak in the world) and Zhuoqiong Peak (7589m above sea level), Makaru Peak in the southeast (8463m above sea level, the fifth highest peak in the world), Zhang Zifeng in the north (7543m above sea level) and Nu Peak in the west. On the periphery of these giant peaks, there are some world-class peaks far away: in the southeast, there is Zhangjiafeng, the third highest dry city in the world (8585 meters above sea level, which is the boundary peak between Nepal and Sikkim, India); In the west, there are Feng Kang at an altitude of 7998m, Zhuooyou Peak at an altitude of 820 1 m and Xixiabangma Peak at an altitude of 8012m. It has formed a magnificent scene of peaks reaching the DPRK and peaks surging. The National Geographic Society of the United States recently conducted a survey of Mount Qomolangma in 1999 using GPS. They think that the elevation of Mount Everest should be 8850 meters. The altitude of Mount Everest, once recognized by all countries in the world, was determined by the China People's Mountaineering Team in 1975, with an altitude of 8848.438+03 meters. However, the outside world also has a variety of sayings such as 8848 meters, 8840 meters, 8850 meters and 8882 meters. On May 22nd, 2005, the people of China and the National Everest Height Measuring Team successfully climbed Mount Everest, and the height of Mount Everest was accurately measured again. The new height of Mount Everest is 8844.43 meters, and the peak is located in China. At the same time, stop the data of 1975 8848. 13m.

Topographic map near the summit of Mount Everest

The Himalayan region where Mount Everest is located used to be an ocean. In the long geological age, a large number of gravels and sediments washed down from the land accumulated in the Himalayan region, forming a marine sedimentary rock layer with a thickness of more than 30 thousand meters. Later, due to the strong orogeny, the Himalayan region was squeezed and lifted violently. According to estimates, the average increase is 20-30 meters per 1 10,000 years. Up to now, the Himalayan region is still rising, rising by 7 cm every 100 years.

With the passage of time, the height of Mount Everest will change constantly because of the movement of geographical plates. Interestingly, although Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world, its summit is not the farthest point from the center of the earth. This special point belongs to Chimborazo Mountain in South America. It is known that the highest peak of the solar system is Mount Olympus at an altitude of 27,000 meters on Mars. The majestic image of Mount Everest has always had a great influence in the local area and even in the world.

In Tibetan, "Qomolangma Job-Molangmali" means "Mother of the Earth". In Tibetan, Jo-mo "Mount Everest" means goddess, while Gland-Ma "Gland-Ma" should be understood as female elephant (in Tibetan, Gland-Ma has two meanings: Yanagi Takayama and female elephant). According to myth, Mount Qomolangma is the palace where Ring Gaga lived. However, there is another English expression that appears many times in middle school textbooks, that is, Mount Everest or Mount Everest. In the west, this mountain peak is generally called Mount Qomolangma to commemorate George Everest, the director of Indian Survey Bureau who was in charge of surveying the Himalayas when Britain occupied Nepal. Nepal's name is Sagarmatha, which means "Goddess of the Sky". This name was coined by the Nepalese government in the 1960s. Because the Nepalese people did not name the mountain before, the government did not choose to use transliteration for political reasons. Mount Qomolangma

1258 The lotus posthumous work unearthed was named "Lachi", and Sangji, a monk of the Kagyu Sect, praised "Mirariba Road songji" as "the most snowy". 17 17 years, the surveyors of the Qing dynasty surveyed the panoramic view of the royal land in the area of Mount Everest. Mount Everest was named after "Everest Alin", which means "mountain" in Manchu. 1952 China government changed its name to Mount Everest. 1952, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the General Administration of Publication of the Central People's Government of China notified that "Mount Everest" was renamed "Mount Everest".

In 2002, People's Daily published an article arguing that the English name "Mount Everest" used in the western world should be renamed as its Tibetan name "Mount Everest". The newspaper said that 280 years before the English name "Mount Everest" was used in the West, the symbol on the map of China was named "Mount Everest".

Taiwan Province Province has traditionally called this mountain "Mount Everest" and adopted this free translation in textbooks. In recent years, people began to accept the name of "Mount Everest" in Chinese mainland, but it is still not universal.

Zhang Yanping, the chief commander of this survey and deputy director of the National Basic Geographic Information Center of China State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, said that this survey has three very important tasks: the first is to measure the height of rocks, the second is to find out the permafrost, and the third is to measure the thickness of snow.

The retest is centered on height measurement, but height measurement is not the only purpose of this retest. In this Everest survey plan, scientific research projects other than height measurement attract people's attention, and the research conclusions of these scientific research projects are more likely to affect the lives of ordinary people.

Among the "research objectives" of the retest plan, "observation and research on atmospheric chemical composition, glacier change, biodiversity, environmental change and geology", "assessment of the impact of global warming on glacier change and its future trend" and "establishing the causes of ecological environment change in Mount Everest and its relationship with climate change, and explaining the response of ecological environment to climate change" are just hot topics in the world. Like the North and South Poles, people hope that it will have little influence on human activities.

Glacier retreat on Mount Qomolangma has always been regarded as a manifestation of global warming, and the severity of glacier retreat is one of the foundations of global environmental research. In this survey, researchers will obtain rigorous scientific data through on-site monitoring and experimental means to further understand the retreat of Mount Everest glaciers.

Like the polar regions, the ecological change of Mount Everest is regarded as the "test paper" of global environmental change. Previous investigations and studies have outlined the characteristics of vegetation and habitat composition of Mount Everest from a macro perspective, but they have rarely been mentioned in the study of biodiversity change and its causes. In the retest, researchers will establish the pattern and process of the ecological environment changes of Mount Everest in the past 30 years, and study and draw the distribution map of the ecological environment factors on the northern slope of Mount Everest. Try to explain the changes in the ecological environment of Mount Everest in recent 30 years, especially the changes in biodiversity and land cover, the impact of land degradation and ecological environment changes on regional climate, and so on.

The final result of China's re-measurement of the elevation of the main peak will be announced in August this year. In fact, beyond the new height of Mount Everest, the popular science value of Mount Everest retest has begun to be reflected, and the value of scientific research results obtained in the retest will gradually be reflected in various scientific fields.
