  - - - Continental islands were once attached to continents before sea level changes andtectonic activityisolatedthem. Tectonic activity refers to the movement and collision of different sections, or plates, of the Earth’s crust.Australia, Zealandia, and New Guinea are continental islands. These three regions share some physical features. All three havemountain ranges or highlands—the Great Dividing Range in Australia; the North Island Volcanic Plateau and Southern Alps in New Zealand; and the New Guinea Highlands in Papua New Guinea. Although they share somelandscapefeatures, each of these regions has distinct physical features that resulted from different environmental processes. Australia’s landscape is dominated by theOutback, a region ofdeserts and semi-aridland
    - - Also called volcanic islands , they were created as the Galapagos islands due to eruptions that formed layers of land over millions of years. From there its name of high island.The island region of Melanesia contains many high islands because it is a major part of the “Ring of Fire,” a string ofvolcanoes around the boundary of the Pacific Ocean. Important volcanic mountains in Melanesia include Mount Tomanivi, in Fiji; Mount Lamington, in Papua New Guinea; and Mount Yasur, in Vanuatu.
    - - Low islands are also called coral islands. They are made of the skeletons and living bodies of smallmarineanimals calledcorals. Sometimes, coral islands barely reach abovesea level—hence the name “low island.”Low islands often take the shape of an irregular ring of very small islands, called anatoll, surrounding alagoon. Atolls are defined as one island even though they are made up of multiple communities of coral. The island regions of Micronesia and Polynesia are dominated by low islands. The Kwajalein Atolls, for example, composed of 97 islands and islets located in the Marshall Islands surrounds one of the largest lagoons in the world. The nation of Kiribati is composed of 32 atolls and one solitary island.

- - - - Iranian plateaus:It covers more than 3.6 million km2 and embraces most of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is not flat, but contains some high mountains and deep river basins. This plateau has two large deserts, the Dasht-e Kavir and Dasht-e Lut.
        
        The Deccan plateau:with an average height of 600m makes up most of southern India.The plateau and its main waterways—the Godavari and Krishna rivers—gently slope toward the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal.
        
        The Tibetan plateau:It is considered the largest and highest area that ever existed in the history of the earth. The plateau covers an area of about half of the United States at an average height of 5,000 meters above sea level. It is known as the “Rooftop of the World”. The Tibetan Plateau is extremely important to the world’swater cyclebecause of itstremendousnumber of glaciers. These glaciers contain the largest volume of ice outside thepoles.The ice and snow from these glaciers feed
    - - Plains, steppes and deserts:
        
        The western plain of Siberia: The West Siberian Plain, located in central Russia, is considered one of the world’s largest areas of continuous flatland. It extends from north to south about 2,400 kilometers and from west to east about 1,900 kilometers.The plain contains some of the world’s largestswamps and flood plains.
        
        Central Asia is dominated by asteppelandscape, a large area of flat, unforested grassland.
        -The landscape of central Asia: It is dominated by steppes, large flat areas covered with grass without forests. Mongolia can be divided into different areas of steppe: the mountainous steppe with trees, the arid steppe and the desert steppe.
        
        The Rub'al Khali desert:It is considered the largest sand sea in the world, covers an area larger than France across Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.The desert is virtually inhospitable to humans except for Bedouin tribes that live on its edges.
  - - - Baykal Lake:It is located south of Russia, is the deepest in the world (1,620 m). It contains 20% of the liquid fresh water in the world, which makes it the largest reservoir of water on Earth. It is also the oldest lake, it is 25 million years old.
        
        The Yangtze: It is the longest river in Asia and the third longest in the world (behind the Amazon of South America and the Nile of Africa). The Yangtze is considered the lifeblood of China. It drains one-fifth of the country’s land area, is home to one-third of its population, and contributes greatly to China’seconomy.
        
        The Tigris and Euphratesrivers begin in the heights of Eastern Turkey and flow from Syria and Iraq joining in the city of Qurna, Iraq, before emptying into the Persian Gulf.The land between the two rivers, known as Mesopotamia, was the center of the earliest civilizations, including Sumerand the Akkadian Empire
    - - The Persian Gulf: It has an area of more than 234,000 km2. The seabed beneath the Persian Gulf contains an estimated 50 percent of the world’soil reserves.
        
        The Okhotsk Sea: It stretches for 1.5 million km2 between mainland Russia and the Kamchatka Peninsula.The sea is largely frozen between October and March. Largeice floes make winternavigationalmost impossible.
        
        The Bengal: It is the largest bay in the world, with an extension of almost 2.2 million km2.and bordering Bangladesh
