In Asia, notable mesas include the Deosai Plains in Pakistan, which features flat-topped highlands, and the Tibetan Plateau, often referred to as "the Roof of the World." Other examples include the Hala Bala Plateau in Thailand and the Yungas region in Bolivia, which, while primarily in South America, also extends into the Asian context through its geographical significance. These mesas are characterized by their elevated, flat terrain and unique ecosystems.
Yes. India was once part of the Gondwanaland which consisted of the whole of Africa.
Throughout most of geologic time there were only two primordial continents: Laurasia in the north and Gondwanaland in the south, separated by the Sea of Tethys. Gondwanaland consisted of Africa, peninsular India, Australia, South America, Antarctica and Eurasian regions south of the Alpine-Himalayan chain. About 265 million years ago, this continental togetherness began to split. For 200 million years, India, Arabia, and Apulia (consisting of parts of Italy, the Balkan states, Greece, and Turkey) drifted across the ocean, and finally collided with the rest of Eurasia 65 million years ago. The collision uplifted the Alpine-Himalayan mountain ranges extending from Spain (the Pyrenees) and northwest Africa (the Atlas) along the northern margin of the Mediterranean Sea (the Alps, Carpathians) into southern Asia (the Himalayas) to reach Indonesia.

What is the bering strait land theory?
The Bering Strait theory is the theory on how the first humans made it into the Americas. According to that theory, Native Americans descended from an Asian population who crossed the Bering Strait, the area between modern day Asian Russia and Alaska, by a land bridge of ice. These Asians then spread across the rest of the Americas.
The Bering Strait theory is viewed as offensive to many Natives, as many of their religions frequently state that they have always been in the Americas. It conflicts with their religious beliefs in the same way the theory of evolution conflicts with Abrahamic religions. In addition, they fear that people would see them as non-Natives because of this. However, judging by that logic, Europeans would not be native to Europe, when they are.
What was the purpose of French Colonialism in Vietnam?
Positive aspects? There is French bread and some nice looking architecture in Vietnam today. I guess that counts for something.
During colonization the French built irrigation canals in the Mekong Delta. This led to increased cultivation of rice (quadrupled from 1880-1930) and greatly increased the export of rice for Vietnam. However, only a small cut of the profits came back to the landowners, and even less to the peasants.
The French financed their projects (in addition to taxation) by recruiting forced labor. You could call that creating jobs. There was also convict-labor, poor working conditions, lack of medical care, low salaries, and sometimes they weren't even paid.
The French officialized 'quoc ngu', the written script using the Roman alphabet. Unfortunately, along with colonization came widespread illiteracy. That is to say, literacy was more widespread among the majority before the French took over.
A small number of children were admitted to lycées, secondary schools of the French.
Medical care was well organized in the cities, for the French. Not for Vietnamese, thought even if it was for the Vietnamese, it would only benefit the small percentage that didn't live in the rural areas. There were 2 physicians for every 100 000 Vietnamese.
There was a small minority of Vietnamese large landowners. They owned close to half of all the land, even though they accounted for less than 3% of the total number of landowners.
Whatever positive the French brought/created only benefited a small minority of Vietnamese and, of course, the French themselves.
yes it is. because it seperates Delaware and pensilvania

Yes, even though this devastating natural disaster will take a tremendous amount of time to recover, it will. No matter what every country Rises, exceeds, then falls. As long as countries continue to support Japan recover, things will gradually get better. Right now it's hard to tell when, though..
