Question

Write an essay on natural resources in nepal

Answer 1

Landlocked, lacking substantial resources for economic development, and hampered by an inadequate transportation network, Nepal is one of the least developed nations in the world. The economy is heavily dependent on imports of basic materials and on foreign markets for its forest and agricultural products. Nepal imports essential commodities, such as fuel, construction materials, fertilizers, metals, and most consumer goods, and exports such products as rice, jute, timber, and textiles.

Answer 2

Nepal is a relatively small country with a total area of little less than 150,000 square kilometres, and no access to the sea. China lies to the North of Nepal, while the border with India is in the remaining directions. From a geological point of view it is also a relatively young country, because according to the theory of plate tectonics, the entire Indian subcontinent is still moving northwards, pushing the Himalayan belt.
Notwithstanding its small size, the territory  can boast a difference in altitudes within its borders that has no equivalent worldwide : from the southern Terai plains situated at an altitude of 100 metres above sea level, the Nepalese geological conformation offers an impressive vertical excursion that reaches 8,848 metres on the tip of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the World.
The Country can be subdivided into four main areas that are extremely diversified : the spectacular Himalayan mountain range with eight of the fourteen highest mountains in the World, positioned along the Northern frontier with China (Tibet), the fertile valleys of Central Nepal, another mountain range (the Mahabharat) and the Terai plains.
Nepal has rich water resources in the higher altitudes and in the internal valleys. The glaciers and  perennial snow found above 4,000-5,000 metres provide an important water reserve, while the  central valleys, which often are the ancient beds of large lakes, are now crossed by rivers that flow from the mountain tops of the Himalayas to the Terai.
