Explanation:
The Central Highlands comprises a complex system of fold mountains and plateaus, which
make Asia. up the core of the mountain system of Asia.
● The mountain ranges radiate from the Pamir Knot. The Pamir Knot is situated to the
south of Central Asia.
● The Pamir Knot is a meeting point for the Central Asian mountain ranges.
The Pamir Knot
● From Pamir the chains spread out in different directions to the Northeast, Southeast,
Southwest and to the West. These ranges make up the skeleton of the continent.
● The Pamir Knot with the height of 6000 m is the highest plateau in the world.
● To the west of the Pamir Knot there are two ranges :
○ The Sulaiman Range : It extends in the south-west direction and continues as
Zagros mountains along the coast of Iran. The Zagros mountains converge at
the Armenian Knot (a plateau) and continue westward into Turkey as the
Taurus mountains.
○ The Hindukush Mountain : It runs westward through northern Tajikistan,
Pakistan, Afghanistan and to the border of Iran.
It continues westward as the Elburz mountains. From Armenian knot, the
Elburz mountains continue westward into Turkey as the Pontic mountains.
Two intermontane plateaus are enclosed by these mountain ranges:
- The Plateau of Iran between Elburz in the north and Zagros in the
south.
The Plateau of Anatolia in Turkey lies between the Pontic in the
north and Taurus in the south. This region is called Asia Minor.
○ The Karakoram Range : It includes the mountain and plateau regions to the
East and Northeast. The mountain range that runs north of the Himalayas is
called Karakoram.
● Godwin Austen (K2) is the second highest peak situated in this region. In the East
this region is called Kailash. The Ladakh plateau lies between the Karakoram and
Himalayas.
● A second mountain range which starts from the Himalayas proceeds in two parts the
southern part which continues in China is called Kunlun. In the north it is called
Altun, in the east it is known as Nanshan.
● Between Kunlun in the north and the Himalayas in the south lies the Plateau of Tibet,
the largest plateau known as the Roof of the World.
● The Tien Shan, known as heavenly mountains in Chinese stretch to the northeast of
Pamirs. Further north is the Altai mountain.
● To the north of Tienshan lie three mountain ranges, Khingan, Altar and Stanovoi
mountains and to the northeast lie the Yablonovy Mountains.
The great Mongolian plateau lies between Khingan and Nanshan.
○ The Himalayan Mountain Ranges: These proceed to the southeast and then
to the east.
○ These are the highest mountain ranges in the world and have the highest
mountain peak, the Everest (8848 m). This mountain range forms the northern
wall for southern Asia.
○ In the northeast of Arunachal Pradesh this mountain range turns southward
and is called Patkai range along the border of India and Myanmar.
○ Further, to the south in Myanmar it assumes the name of Arakan Yoma and
Pegu Yoma
