The Himalayas mountain range contains 14 peaks that are higher than 8,000 meters (26,247 feet) in elevation. These peaks, also known as the “Eight-Thousanders,” are considered some of the tallest and most challenging mountains in the world and attract thousands of mountaineers and trekkers every year. The highest peak in the Himalayas and the world is Mount Everest, which stands at an elevation of 8,848 meters (29,032 feet). The other 13 peaks in the range that are over 8,000 meters in elevation include K2 (also known as Mount Godwin-Austen), Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Nanga Parbat, Annapurna, Shishapangma, Gasherbrum I, Broad Peak, and Gasherbrum II.

THE PEAK OF WHAT MOUNTAIN IS FARTHEST FROM THE CENTER OF THE EARTH?

A. Mount Everest
B. K2
C. Nanga Parbat
D. Chimborazo Mountain

D. Chimborazo Mountain

The peak of Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is the farthest point from the center of the Earth. Although Mount Chimborazo is not the tallest mountain in the world, it is the closest point to the sun due to the Earth’s equatorial bulge. This means that the peak of Mount Chimborazo is further from the center of the Earth than the peak of Mount Everest, which is the tallest mountain in the world. The Earth is not a perfect sphere, but is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator. This equatorial bulge means that the Earth’s equatorial radius is about 43 kilometers (27 miles) larger than its polar radius. As a result, the peak of Mount Chimborazo, which is located near the equator, is farther from the center of the Earth than the peak of Mount Everest, which is located closer to the poles.

WHICH COUNTRY HAS CONDUCTED A NUCLEAR FUSION EXPERIMENT TOWARDS CREATION OF AN ‘ARTIFICIAL SUN’?

A. India
B. USA
C. Russia
D. China

D. China

China has conducted a nuclear fusion experiment towards the creation of an “artificial sun.” The experiment was carried out by the Institute of Plasma Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is part of China’s efforts to develop nuclear fusion technology. Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the sun, and creating an artificial sun would involve mimicking this process on Earth to generate clean, limitless energy. The experiment in China was conducted using a device known as a tokamak, which uses magnetic fields to confine and heat plasma to the temperatures and pressures necessary for nuclear fusion to occur. Although much work remains to be done, China’s experiment is an important step towards the development of nuclear fusion technology and the creation of an artificial sun.
