This means that while its geographical grouping is definitely Asia, it holds more in common culturally with the rest of europe (It is far less arabic in origin than the rest of the middle eastern countries) - and is treated as a member of europe in some minor ways (e.g. being included in Eurovision song contest). From a flora and fauna point of view Israel is shown to be the central country bordering all three continents, as historically animals from all three continents roamed here, though most of these are now locally extinct.

How steep is Mt Everest?

The following are approximations based solely on my own calculations using Google Earth.

The northeast ridge is 4825 m to its lowest point (6470 m):

8848-6470=2378 m rise / 4825 m distance = 49% gradient

The western ridge is 5536 m to its lowest point (5960 m):

8848-5960=2888 m rise / 5536 m distance = 52% gradient

The southern ridge is 1738 m to its lowest point (7905 m):

8848-7905= 943 m rise / 1738 m distance = 54% gradient

The eastern face is 4173 m to a point it slopes less steeply (5497 m):

8848-5497= 3351 m / 4173 m distance = 80% gradient

The northern face is 2624 m to a point it slopes less steeply (6342 m):

8848-6342= 2506 m rise / 2624 m = 95% gradient

The southwestern face is 1895 m to a point it begins to slope less steeply (6608 m):

8848-6608= 2240 m rise / 1895 m distance = 118% gradient
