Kunka (Aymara and Quechua for 'throat, gullet, neck, voice',[2][3] Hispanicized spelling Cunca) is a mountain in the La Raya mountain range in the Andes of Peru. It is situated at the La Raya Pass and the road and rail which connect Cusco with Lake Titicaca. It is located in the Cusco Region, Canas Province, Layo District, and in the Puno Region, Melgar Province, Santa Rosa District, and about 5,200 metres (17,060 ft) high. Kunka lies southwest of the mountains Yana Khuchilla and Chimpulla. Other neighboring mountains are Huch'uy K'uchu north of it and Hatun Ichhuna Kunka in the south. Between the road and the mountain is a small lake, Q'umirqucha (Quechua q'umir 'green', qucha 'lake',[3] 'green lake', Comercocha).

North of Kunka is a stream called Hatun K'uchu (Quechua for 'big corner', Hispanicized Atuncucho). It is an affluent of the Willkanuta River which originates near the pass.

Nitrogen fixation

Conversion of molecular nitrogen into biologically accessible nitrogen compounds Nitrogen fixation is a chemical process by which molecular dinitrogen (N2) is converted into ammonia (NH3).[1] It occurs both biologically and abiologically in chemical industries. Biological nitrogen fixation or diazotrophy is catalyzed by enzymes called nitrogenases.[2] These enzyme complexes are encoded by the Nif genes (or Nif homologs) and contain iron, often with a second metal (usually moly...
