What major landforms are located in Mongolia?

Answer 1

Their are three major landforms in Mongolia their are:

The Altai Mountains:known as the Turkic peoples' birthplace. The northwest end of the range is at 52° N and between 84° and 90° E (where it merges with the Say an Mountains to the east), and extends southeast from there to about 45°N 99°E / 45, 99, where it gradually becomes lower and merges into the high plateau of the Gobi Desert (another major land form but we'll get to that soon enough.)

The name in Mongolian , Altain Nuruu, means the "Mountains of Gold". The proposed Altaic language family takes its name from the mountain range.

The Gobi Desert:

The Gobi (Mongolian: Govi or Gov', "gravel-covered plain") is the largest desert region in Asia. It covers parts of northern and northwestern China, and of southern Mongolia. The desert basins of the Gobi are bounded by the Altai Mountains and the grasslands and steppes of Mongolia on the north, by the Tibetan Plateau to the southwest, and by the North China Plain to the southeast. The Gobi is made up of several distinct ecological and geographic regions based on variations in climate and topography. This desert is the fifth largest in the world.

The Gobi is most notable in history as part of the great Mongol Empire, and as the location of several important cities along the Silk Road.

The Gobi is a rain shadow desert formed by the Himalaya range blocking rain-carrying clouds from reaching the Gobi.

Mongolian Plateau

The Mongolian Plateau is part of the larger Central Asian Plateau and has an area of approximately 2,600,000 square kilometres. It is occupied by Mongolia in the north and Inner Mongolia in the south. The plateau includes the Gobi Desert as well as dry steppe regions. It has an elevation of roughly 900 to 1,500 meters.
