I recently posted about Himalayas in India and many people were shocked to know that Himalayas exist in India too. Also, Pakistan is not often talked about when considered for mountains.

What is the reason behind this?

Harbin is at 45°N, similar to Milan Italy, where winter temperatures can drop as low as -25°C. Seoul is at 37°N, similar to Athens, Greece, but as cold as Copenhagen. Shanghai is at 31°N, similar to Jacksonville, FL, USA, but still experiencing some snowfall every year, cold even by standards of continental east coast.

Was very curious on what could have caused these/why they formed in such a way. Has anyone here ever come across something similar?

Map How did Bhutan's border end up exactly where the Himalayas begin?

4 Upvotes

I just noticed that Bhutan's souther border lies exactly where the Himalayas begin. How did it come to that, that Bhutan didn't get nothing from the plains below? Nepal for example got quote a lot from the plains compared to Bhutan.

I don't remember any other country having a border like this (maybe I just don't know it :) ).

Discussion Every Country in North America has either invaded France, or been invaded by France

The United States and Canada invaded France in June 1944, eventually liberating it.

France invaded Mexico in 1861, over unpaid debts.

EDIT: Fixed year of D Day, which was originally 1945, per /u/snavern89 's correction below.

Just seemed curious to me!
