Klamath Mountains, segment of the Pacific mountain systemof western North America.
Olympic Mountains, segment of the Pacific mountain system of western North America.
Giant Mountains, Czech Krkonoše, German Riesengebirge, Polish Karkonosze, mountains, major segment of the Sudeten in northeastern Bohemia and part of the western Czech-Polish frontier.
I loved taking the night train, leaving the heat and arid landscape of Madras and crossing through a pass in the Western Ghats, the mountain range that segments off Kerala from the rest of the country.
Some are kid-friendly loops that start and end right off the highway, while some are ambitious mountain hikes, including a segment of the Appalachian Trail.
A long-term aim of such analysis is to determine the strain variations across entire segments of mountain belts.
The stream courses were initially established in the late Miocene Epoch (about 11.6 to 5.3 million years ago), when the basins were largely filled by deposits of Neogene and Paleogene age (i.e., about 2.6 to 66 million years old) that locally extended across lower segments of mountain axes.
Tectonic interactions of these transverse faults with the Himalayan longitudinal thrusts (MBT/HFT) have segmented the mountain front marked with varying sinuosity.
Maximum aridity occurs in the middle segment of the mountain system; to the west and east, however, the climate is somewhat moderated.
The sediments in the western region of depression were mainly sourced from the middle segment of Longmen Mountain and are mostly litharenites.
In this segment of the mountains, a number of large structural units of nappe character (vast masses of rock thrust and folded over each other) may be distinguished.
