Geography

Norge is the Norwegian name for Norway.

If a river tends to flood, the most practical solution may be to designate a more or less flat area along the river as the "floodplain". This Area is allowed to flood and thus save other, more valuable areas from flooding. Obviously, no buildings should be erected on the floodplain and it is usually unsuitable for farming, too.

Relative location is the location of something in relation of another place.

In the Deciduous Forest, some decomposers that are living there include fungi, bacteria, and yes, even worms.

The hottest air temperature ever recorded on earth:

In 2005, the Lut Desert in Iran at 70.7° Celsius, which is 159.26° Fahrenheit.

Previous to this on Sept. 13, 1922 El Azizia in Libya 57.8 °C (136°F)

Previous to that: Death Valley, California, USA, where it got up to 57.8°C (134°F) on July 10, 1913.

It is very likely that temperatures have reached higher than this in places on the earth, however, the lack of meteorological equipment and people to read said equipment in the hottest areas of the earth means that it has gone unrecorded.

The equator

There is more land above/north of the equator. The only continent completely south of the equator is Oceania. This fact is clearly illustrated in the movie "an inconvenient truth".

It is a long strip of land that juts out into the sea.

The best examples are southern Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia or Spain.

The four types of vegetation are Forest, Grassland, Desert, and Tundra.

A natural boundary might be something like a river, mountain range or an ocean. These are generally considered obstructions, which prevent crossing without additional equipment or assistance, such as a boat or horses to carry what you need to cross a mountain range.

A political boundary would be a real or imagined line in the sand that defines the boundary of a nation or state.

For example, Australia's boundary is an ocean and Switzerland's boundary is defined by mountains, these are both physical and natural boundaries. The boundaries of Colorado are all just surveying lines and there really is not much of a physical boundary involved.

Mariefred, Sweden

About 17 miles but this distance greatly varies on the weather conditions and the height of the eye above sea level.

Some people argue that we should change to Peters Projection because it is fairer. With the Mercator projection, Polar Regions look bigger than they should, in comparison to equatorial regions. Of course, all projections change the shapes of places; but the Peters Projection does not change their relative areas.

A devotion to the interests and culture of one's nation

Most places along the equator are warm because that is where the sun's light and heat hits the Earth most directly. However, if the land is very high, like the Andes Mountains in Ecuador, there it can be cold and covered with snow.

Elsie is the name of a town in Michigan and Nebraska it is also a cow, and a Quebec Politician.

As water flows in rivers, it picks up small amounts of mineral salts from the rocks and soil of the riverbeds. This very-slightly salty water flows into the oceans and seas. The water in the oceans only leaves by evaporating (and the freezing of polar ice), but the salt remains dissolved in the ocean - it does not evaporate. So the remaining water gets saltier and saltier as time passes.

There are parts of northern Alaska where the sun goes down in late August and does not rise again until the following April (and then does not go down again until August).

To be considered a country, a place must have four characteristics...

1) Territory

2) population

3) government

4) sovereignty
