Where in mainland Asia did they turned the mountains into level land?

I belive it was in Hong Kong, China. It was for an airport, the English made it for them before giving them Hong Kong back.

I've seen the mountain ranges in the Alps, the Himalayas, the Andes, and the mountains; Mt Kinabalu (highest mountain in South East Asia), several mountains in Taiwan, East Turkestan and Vietnam.\n\nThe Fishtail mountain (Macchapucchre) in Nepal is the most beautiful of them all.

Only Europe and North America.\n\nThe Asian mainland does not stretch down to the Equator (almost does, at the bottom of mainland Malaysia), but Indonesia crosses the Equator, so that counts Asia out.

Genghis Khan kingdom covered the widest geographical areas in human history. But I am not sure how long it lasted. Hope this answers your question.

Mount Everest. Its summit ridge marks the border between Nepal and China. The mountain is approximately 8,848 m (29,028 feet) high. \n\nThe mountain K2 comes in second at 8,611 m (28,251 feet) high.

Mount Averest in Nepal/China is the highest peak in South-east Asia and the world at 29,035 ft or 8,850 meter.\n\nIt is not a local name but international usage, named after the British explorer, Sir Averest who discovered it.

When you refer to Hong Kong, the place in Asia, it actually makes up of:\n1. Hong Kong Island\n2. Kowloon Peninsula\n3. New Territories(linked to China)\n\nImage you are talking about New York City, most people will just think about Manhattan Island(compared to Hong Hong Island), but there are other parts, including Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island.  Hope that helps!

The Himalaya is a mountain range in Asia, separating the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. By extension, it is also the name of the massive mountain system which includes the Himalaya proper, the Karakoram, the Hindu Kush, and a host of minor ranges extending from the Pamir Knot. The name is from Sanskrit himālaya, a tatpurusha compound meaning "the abode of snow" (from hima "snow", and ālaya "abode"; see also Himavat).\n\nTogether, the Himalaya mountain system is the planet's highest and home to all fourteen of the world's highest peaks: the Eight-thousanders, including Mount Everest. To comprehend the enormous scale of Himalaya peaks, consider that Aconcagua, in the Andes, at 6,962 m, is the highest peak outside the Himalaya, while the Himalaya system has over 100 separate mountains exceeding 7,200 m.\n\nThe Himalaya stretches across five nations, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. It is the source of three of the world's major river systems, the Indus Basin, the Ganga-Brahmaputra Basin and the Yangtze Basin. An estimated 750 million people live in the watershed area of the Himalayan rivers, which also includes Bangladesh.\n\nYou can read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himalayas

b/c there's 80 millions people living on a thin stretch of rocky land versus 10 millions living on the most fertile and fruitful land in south east asia. \n\nSimple geopolitics!!

no... because i know, before my class even started the topic of year 9 geology (i think the topic is called "Reading the Earth") - and i'm in year 9, i think this is form two for other countries and can be also known as grade 9), i know that the mountain ranges in the asian area was cause by plate tectonics crashing into each other - and through the topic i'm studying right now, I learnt that the type of boundary that is between the plates is called the collosion boundary where two plates of similar thickness collide creating mountain ranges as the ground is pushed upwards and downwards.

The part of Asia referred to as South Asia is divided from the rest of Asia both in north and south. Towards the north, it is divided by the Great Mountain wall consisting of the Himalayan Ranges and some other smaller hill ranges running parallel to each other and all of them arise from the Pamir knot.\n\nTowards the south it is divided by the Water bodies consisting of Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean.

Mount Everest is the highest point on Earth as measured by the height of its summit above sea level - 8,848 meters (29,028 feet).  It is part of the Himalaya range in High Asia, and is located on the border between Nepal and China.\n\nBut if you count the highest mountain from its base to its summit, the answer is Mauna Loa in Hawaii (most is under water, but its total height is 30,080 ft (9,170 m).

yes, u r right. According to a latest Chinese Report, the height of the Mount Everest is now 8,851m in comparison to 8,848m that is adopted all over the world. \nIt is due to the reason that the Indian Tectonic Plate is still moving north towards the Asian Tectonic Plate (that forms the Tibet and rest of the Asia). Because of this phenomenon, the height of the Himalayas is increasing. and no doubt that the height of mount everest has also increased. But, because of certain reasons, the international organisations have decided to keep the height of Mt. Everest at universally known 8,848m
