The Central Asian Orogenic Belt CAOB, also known as Altaids is one of the largest accretionary orogen s on Earth and evolved over some 800 million years from the latest Mesoproterozoic to the early Triassic . It contains a record of geodynamic processes during one of the most important episodes of continent al growth in Phanerozoic time. Location The CAOB stretches from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean , occupying an area of about 5.3 million square kilometers, about 11 of the Asia n surface area. It is bounded on the north by the Siberia n craton and on the south by the North China craton and the Tarim craton, which provides substrate for the Tarim Basin .

Unreferenced date December 2006 The Middle Belt is a human geographical term designating the region of central Nigeria populated largely by minority group minority ethnic groups and stretching across the country longitudinally. The Middle Belt is indeterminate in that it lacks designated border borders and is charactized by a heterogeneity and diversity of peoples and cultures. The eminence of manifold minority groups to some degree constitutes an ethno linguistic barrier in the country, drawing a separation between the principally Islamic North and the more secular, Christian animist south. The region is a convergence of these cultural domains and maintains a tremendous degree of ethno linguistic diversity, with languages of the Afro Asiatic , Nilo Saharan , and Niger Congo families, three of the primary African language groups, all being spoken. Minorities in Nigeria tend to be dominated by the three largest ethnic groups, the Hausa people Hausa of North and the Igbo people Igbo and Yoruba people Yoruba of the South the result in the Middle Belt is occasional political unity and solidarity amongst these highly differentiated peoples, an example being the United Middle Belt Congress that emerged following Nigeria s independence from United Kingdom Britain in 1960 . Areas of Nigeria which are generally referred to as belonging to the Middle Belt are Kwara State , Kogi State , Benue State , Plateau State , Nasarawa State , Niger State , Adamawa State and Taraba State . Also included are the southern parts of Kaduna State , Zuru area of Kebbi State , Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro areas of Bauchi State , Tangale and Waja areas of Gombe State and the southern parts of Borno State Biu area . However, the definition of the Middle Belt areas are subject to great debate due to the presence of significant number of ethnic Hausa, Fula people Fulani and Kanuri people Kanuri groups .
