#GHOST OF HINDU KUSH BY REDHAND ADVENTURES SERIES#

Fed by melting snow and glaciers, the rivers of the Hindu Kush are of the mountain type, with their highest level in spring and summer. The high-mountain climate is especially severe and results in extensive glaciation (6,200 sq km). The most humid area is the southeast Hindu Kush (Nuristan), which is influenced by the summer monsoon (as much as 1,000 mm of precipitation per year) it has semihumid subtropical characteristics. The eastern regions of the Hindu Kush are the driest in the inner mountain valleys, precipitation is about 50 mm. The precipitation on these slopes is 400-800 mm per year on the southern and southwestern slopes, about 300 mm. The northern and northwestern slopes are located in the zone influenced by the western shift of air masses.

The climate of the Hindu Kush is varied, with clearly differentiated vertical zones from the semiwilderness and steppe zone in the foothills and wide valleys between mountains to the high-mountain nival or cold deserts of the Tibetan type. The mineral wealth of the Hindu Kush includes coal (northern part), high-quality iron ore (deposits at Hajigak in the Baba range), polymetal ore, and beryllium (Nuristan) there are deposits of gold ore, lapis lazuli, barites, sulfur, graphite (Badakhshan), celestine, and talc.Ĭlimate.

Great seismicity is characteristic of this area. However, the major tectonic movement, which produced the present structure of the Hindu Kush, took place in the Neocene-Anthropogenic period. To its north, folds were formed in the Upper Paleozoic to the south, in the Mesozoic. The ancient deep fault along which the Parwan chain of valleys is located is also of great structural significance. An important role in the structure of the axis zone of the Hindu Kush is played by the massifs of granitoid, dating from the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic.

Its geological composition includes gneiss, crystallized shale, marble, and quartzite of the Precambrian period Paleozoic limestone, sandstone, and clay shale with lava horizons and sedimentary (sandy-clay, carbonate, volcanogenic, and other) series from the Mesocenozoic period. The Hindu Kush is a complexly subdivided horst anticlinorium within the limits of the Alpine geosynclinal (folded) region. Geological structure and mineral resources. The height of the snowline is about 5,000 m. The lowest pass is the Baroghil Pass (3,777 m).

The eastern Hindu Kush in its western part exceeds 6,000 m and has large glaciers on the east extends a desolate high mountain plateau, recalling the landscapes of the eastern Pamirs its altitude is about 4,000 m, with mountains slightly raised above it. The ranges of the central Hindu Kush (heights to 6,059 m) are located to the east and northeast of Kabul their southern spurs and the Hindu Raj range form the complex mountain region of Nuristan.

The western Hindu Kush is relatively low, the typical height being 3,500-4,000 m. The latter is divided orographically into the western, central, and eastern Hindu Kush, the borders of which are the valleys of the Surkhab and Kokcha rivers. The most important ranges are the Baba, the Paghman, and the Hindu Kush proper. Length, about 800 km width, 50-350 km maximum height, 7,690 m (Mount Tirich Mir in Pakistan). A mountain system in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.
