After this presentation, we will be able to
define Mountain and Lake
know about 5 highest mountains by regions
know about 5 highest mountains of the world
know about 5 largest fresh water lakes
appreciates the application of trigonometry
Mountains, name usually applied to
any region of land that is raised rather steeply
above the surrounding terrain. The elevation, or
altitude, of a mountain is given as the height of
the summit above sea
level. Therefore, a
mountain with an elevation of, say, 4,000
(13,100 ft) may rise to only 3,000 m
(9,840 ft) above the surrounding land.

GREAT TRIGONOMETRICAL SURVEY
Trigonometrical surveys provide a framework of fixed points,
the relative positions of which are established with the utmost
accuracy. In India the framework was to consist of meridional
(north-south) and longitudinal (east-west) chains of
connected triangles observed throughout the subcontinent. A
base line would be measured on the ground, and the
distance from either erected by flagmen, could then be
calculated by trigonometry. One of the newly calculated sides
would then be used as the base line of the next triangle,
without further need of direct measurement of the ground.
Measurements made in this way were checked at regular
intervals by astronomical observations, and allowances also
had to be made for differences of altitude, the curvature of
the Earth, and the refraction of light by the Earth’s
atmosphere.

The Himalaya Range, which comprise
the highest mountain system in the world,
extend through most of Nepal and help
shape its northern border. Nine of the 14
highest mountains in the world, including
Mount Everest (8,850m /29,028 ft), are
located either wholly or partially in the
country.
Everest, Mount (Tibetan, Chomo Lungma,
“goddess-mother”; Nepali, Sagarmatha, “forehead
in the sky”), mountain peak, south central Asia, in
the Himalaya range, on the frontier of Nepal and
Tibet. Mount Everest is the highest peak in the
world. The summit was previously believed to be
8,886 m (29,028 ft) above sea level, according to a
1954 Indian government survey. In November
1999, using the latest global positioning system
satellite equipment, the mountain's elevation was
revised to 8,850 m (29,035 ft).

The Karakorum Range crosses northern Pakistan and the Indian
region of Jammu and Kashmir. The approximately 60 peaks
average 6,600 m (22,000 ft) in height. K2, also known as Mount
Godwin-Austen, rises 8,611 m (28,250 ft), making it the range’s
highest peak and the world’s second highest mountain.
Lake, large, inland body of fresh
or salty standing water.
The source of lake water is
atmospheric precipitation that
reaches the lake directly and by
means of springs, brooks, and
rivers.
The largest lakes in the world are the Caspian
Sea and Lakes Superior and Victoria. The Dead
Sea is the world's lowest lake, 400 m (1,312 ft)
below sea level. The Caspian, the world's
largest lake, covers an area of 370,998 sq km
(143,243 sq mi). Lake Baikal is the deepest
freshwater lake in the world, with a maximum
depth of 1,637 m (5,371 ft).
