For question 6:

1. The Gobi Desert is a large desert region in Asia, spanning parts of northern China and southern Mongolia.
2. It is a cold desert, meaning it has relatively low temperatures compared to hot deserts, with significant temperature variations between day and night and across seasons.
3. The Gobi Desert is home to unique ecosystems, including some rare animal species like the Gobi bear and serves as an important part of the region's ecological and cultural landscape (e.g., historical trade routes like the Silk Road passed through or near it).

For question 7: Mount Everest's elevation is approximately 8,848.86 meters (as of the latest measurement, accounting for both the summit's height and geodetic considerations). It is the highest mountain above sea level on Earth, located in the Himalayas, straddling the border between Nepal and China (Tibet Autonomous Region).
