章節(jié)摘錄
1.2.2 Scotland Scotland is chiefly mountainous.With a general trend from southeast tonorthwest,the Southern Uplands,the Grampians and the North West Highlandsdominate Scotland.The first two are separated by a region of lower hills and rollingcountry drained by the lower parts of the Clyde RiveL the Tay River,and the Forthriver.The Grampians and the North West Highlands are divided by Loch Ness.Inthe northwestern part of the Grampians stands Ben Nevis(1,343 meters high),thehighest mountain in the UK. The Southern Uplands contain broad,rounded hills,many of which ale highenough to be heather-covered.These hills are drained by pleasant rivers,some of whichrun in valleys that cut across the prevailing east-northeast grain of the country.North ofthe Southem Uplands is the Midland Valley of Scotland,which is an area of hilly androlling country in which there are two principal cities:Edinburgh and Glasgow.Thevalley trends east-northeast, The Grampians lie peacefully in the highlands of Scotland.It is the largestmountain range in the UK in which there are four high mountains,all of which aremore than 1,000 meters high and two ofwhich are the highest in the UK.The Tay,theDee and the Spey rivers find their sources in the range.On the other side ofLoch Nesslie North West Highlands which are scarcely populated. 1-2.3 Wales Wales is,like Scotland,mostly mountainous.The northem part of Wales is largelyhilly and moorland.The conspicuous Mt.Snowdon(1,085 meters high)rises in thenortheast.The Cambrian Range dominates the region.South and east of Aberystwyth isthe plateau region of central Wales,lying at an average elevation of about 2,000 feet.The limestone country in the northeast,the great coalfield area with its characteristicdeep valleys in the south and the peninsula of Pembroke in the southwest can berecognized.The fine,cliffy coast of Wales shows little evidence of the developmentthat took place in western Scotland.The island of Anglesey,off the northwest coast,isalmost totally fiat.
