Why is South Africa so close to the sea at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters?

The main thing is that there are mountains, just like the coast on the British side, which is also full of cliffs. South Africa is a plateau, so it is higher than there, and the sea comes before it reaches the height of the mountain.

I typed word by word and refused to copy the party.

This is a question that you would ask any scientist, we can say the elevation of a particular mountain range, and if someone asks you what the altitude of China is, who will.

The average altitude in South Africa is over 1,000 meters. The highest point is Mount Tabana, the great cliff in the east, with an altitude of 3,482 meters.

Republic of South Africa:

South Africa is located in the southern hemisphere, known as the "rainbow country", located in the southernmost part of the African continent, with a land area of 1219090 square kilometers, surrounded by the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, south and west, and bordered by Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Eswatini on land. It faces Australia in the east by the Indian Ocean, and Brazil and Argentina in the west by the Atlantic Ocean.

South Africa is the second largest economy in Africa, with a high standard of living for its citizens, and its economy is relatively stable compared to other African countries.

South Africa has developed financial, legal, communications, energy and transportation industries, has a complete hardware infrastructure and a first-class trading market, and ranks first in the world in terms of diamond production. Deep well mining and other technologies are in the leading position in the world. However, in international affairs, South Africa has been identified as a middle power and retains significant regional influence.

South Africa has three capitals: Tshwane, the executive capital (where the **** is located), Bloemfontein, the judicial capital (where the Supreme Court is located), and Cape Town, the legislative capital (where the parliament is located).

If you are going to such a high altitude area, it is recommended that you bring some anti-high reaction products in case you need it.

Are you talking about not being loose and coarse, but the four girls are rushing to Zhenhai?

Siguniang Mountain is composed of four continuous peaks, which are lined up in a range of 3 5 kilometers from north to south, and their heights are 6250 meters, 5664 meters, 5454 meters, and 5355 meters respectively.

Are you the average elevation or the highest altitude? Or the lowest altitude?

Plateau usually refers to a relatively complete large-scale uplift area with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters above sea level, a vast area of the Jeju clan, an open terrain and a clear steep slope.

Grasslands are generally located in arid and semi-arid areas with less precipitation, and the altitude can be higher or lower than the plateau.

The land and sea of the world.

1) Continents and oceans.

1.The distribution of land and sea in the world: the proportion of land and sea area is 3 parts land and 7 parts sea (29% land and 71% ocean); The distribution of land and sea is roughly concentrated in the northern hemisphere, and the ocean is mostly distributed in the southern hemisphere.

2.Seven continents: Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, South America, Oceania, Antarctica.

3.Four oceans: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic.

4.Continental drift is formed by the movement of tectonic plates.

2) Land topography and seabed topography.

1.There are five basic terrains of land: mountains, plains, plateaus, basins, and hills.

2.Topographic features of the seven continents:

The terrain of Asia is undulating, with high in the middle and low in the surrounding areas, and large plateaus and mountains.

Africa is dominated by highlands.

Europe is dominated by plains.

Antarctica is a continent of ice and snow.

North and South America are mountainous in the west, plains in the middle, and plateaus in the east.

Oceania is a western plateau, a central plain, and an eastern mountainous region.

3.World-famous mountain ranges: the Himalayas, the Alps, the Cordillera.

4.World-famous plateaus and plains: Tibetan Plateau, Brazilian Plateau, Amazon Plain, Eastern European Plain.

5.Bottom topography: continental shelf, continental slope, ocean floor.

Asia: The terrain is complex and diverse, with large undulations, plateaus and mountains; The terrain is high in the middle and low in the surrounding areas, and the plains are mostly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the rivers; The eastern edge of the continent has an island arc belt and an outer Pacific volcanic belt.

Africa: The terrain is dominated by plateaus, and the ground is not large; The eastern part runs through the vast East African Rift Belt; There are few mountain ranges and are found on the edge of the plateau in the northwest and southeast corners.

Europe: Vast plains account for 2 3 of the total area;The terrain is low and flat, the lowest terrain in the world (300m), the terrain is high in the north and south, and low in the middle; The glacial terrain is extensive.

North America The terrain is high from east to west and low in the center; There are three major topographic areas in the north and south, with mountains in the west, mountains and plateaus in the east, and plains in the middle; The glacial terrain is widespread in the northern half of the continent.

South America: The Andes Mountains run from north to south in the west; The eastern part is arranged alternately by plains and plateaus.

Oceania: Low and flat. The surface of the land is gently undulating; The terrain is three longitudinal zones from north to south, with mountains in the east, plains in the middle, and highlands in the west.

Antarctica: The highest average altitude in the world (2350m); Continental glaciers are extensive, with an average thickness of 2,000 meters, and the terrain below the ice is diverse.

Pacific Ocean: the largest (nearly half), the warmest water, the deepest water, and the most islands.

Atlantic Ocean: "S" shaped.

Indian Ocean: The tropical ocean is large.

Arctic Ocean: Minimest, highest latitude, lowest water temperature.

It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Indian Ocean to the east.

It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east.
