Provide three examples of major mountain systems, plains, volcanoes, rivers, and lakes within the region shown on the map, and state the absolute height of Russia's highest volcano as requested in Task 2.

Task 2: Geographical Features and Heights

This task requires identifying specific geographical features and their locations on the map. While the map shows extensive topography, naming three distinct examples for each category and providing specific heights is challenging without further textual information or a more detailed legend. However, based on general knowledge of Russian geography and the visible features:

Mountain Systems:

• Ural Mountains (partially visible or implied to the west of the depicted area).
• Sikhote-Alin Mountains (visible on the eastern coast).
• Chersky Range (visible in the northeastern part of the map).

Plains:

• West Siberian Plain (implied to the west of the depicted area).
• North Siberian Plain (visible in the northern part).
• Central Yakutian Plain (visible in the central eastern part).

Volcanoes:

The map prominently displays volcanic regions in the Kamchatka Peninsula. Specific volcanoes are not labeled with names, but the volcanic activity is evident.

• The Kamchatka Peninsula itself is a major volcanic region.
• The Kuril Islands also feature volcanic activity.

Absolute height of Russia's highest volcano:

The highest volcano in Russia is Klyuchevskaya Sopka, located in Kamchatka. Its absolute height is approximately 4,750 meters.

Rivers:

Several major rivers are visible, particularly in Siberia.

• Lena River (central eastern Siberia).
• Yenisei River (western Siberia, flowing north).
• Ob River (western Siberia, flowing north).

Lakes:

Major lakes are also depicted.

• Lake Baikal (south of the depicted area but a significant Siberian lake).
• Lakes within the Siberian plains, appearing as numerous small bodies of water.
• The map shows extensive lake systems in the northern parts of Siberia.
