What states are in the Interior Lowland region?
Interior Lowlands, the broad, generally flat areas of the central part of the North American continent. The name is used in regional geologic and physiographic descriptions of North America and the conterminous* United States. From the tectonic view, the continental Interior Lowlands are areas largely undisturbed by mountain building in past geologic time*. They extend from central Saskatchewan, in Canada, south to the rim of the Coastal Plain, a natural region in eastern Virginia, and are bounded by the Great Plains on the west, the Canadian Shield* on the north and east, and the Appalachian Mountains on the east.* conterminous, sharing a common boundary, having the same area, context, or meaning* geologic time, the extensive interval of time occupied by the Earth's geologic history. It extendsfrom about 3.9 billion years ago (corresponding to the age of the oldest known rocks) to the present day. It is, in effect, that segment of Earth history that is represented by and recorded in rock strata.* Canadian Shield, one of the world's largest geologic continental shields, centred on Hudson Bay and extending for 8 million square km (3 million square miles) over eastern, central, and northwestern Canada from the Great Lakes to the Canadian Arctic and into Greenland, with small extensions into northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York, U.SBritannica Online Encyclopediawww.britannica.com
Can any country be self sufficient?
I think the only country in the world that can be self-sufficient is Russia, just because its so massive. Russia doesn't need to import anything; not raw materials, not people, not even knowledge. Of course, little good do the country's advantages do it, given the bad mediterranean cultural legacy. Believe it or not, despite how its brutal winters are associated with the country, Russia is, very much, a mediterranean country. Why is this? The slavic population did not always number in the high millions, way back when during the early middle ages before the fall of the Byzantine empire, the Slavs were a barbarian people, some peaceful, some warlike. The peaceful ones were the victims of the warlike ones, as is always the case in human history across all cultures, so they sought refuge in the Byzantine empire where they were indeed protected by Byzantine cataphracts, the most formidable soldiers in the world, and possibly in human history. The origin of the European Knight, lies with the Cataphracts; they were the first universally trained soldiers, soldiers who could do archery, sword and spear play, on foot or horseback, and at a moment's notice dismount and engage in Phalanx like shield formations, or, drop their shields and spears and go into an archery formation, also at a moment's notice. Because of that adaptability, they were incredibly dangerous to their enemies.To put this into a modern perspective; imagine a soldier told by his commander "I need you to engage in urban warfare, you and your unit, go!" And they do it. But then they get called back and the commander says "we are under attack by sea; I need you and your unit to board that vessel and go sink them!" And they do it. "We are being attacked by air; get in your jets!" and they do it. Imagine soldiers who could, basically, do it all; be a pilot, urban warriors, sailors, anything at all. Consider the fear a modern military would have if they were faced with an enemy like that.Again just putting into perspective, the manner of soldier Byzantine Cataphracts were given the weapons of their day. "But they were using primitive weapons" you're saying "how can you compare swordplay with flying a jet!?" Oh, so hand to hand combat is easy is it? Alright then, if you think hand to hand fighting is easy, I need you to go beat up Chuck Liddell. What's that? You don't want to do it? But I thought you were thinking that hand to hand combat could not be complicated! The point I am trying to make is, that if even a simple martial art can be complex, imagine how much more when you are dealing with sharpened steel. Not just sharpened steel, but formations specific to each weapon in ADDITION to knowing how to ride a horse; more primitive yes, less complex, hardly, men of the middle ages were simply smarter that's all. They did not posses raw knowledge and education smarts like we moderns, BUT, problem solving smarts, learning and mastering stuff quickly smarts, ancient and early midieval man, had that in abundance.As effective as they were though, one nasty cultural legacy of Greco-Roman culture, is political corruption. There is no Greco-Roman daughter culture in the world today, be it Latin America, be it the mediterranean and the middle east, that is not corrupt. Any given country in latin america, is as corrupt as any given country in the Arab world, or, southern Europe. The only exceptions to the rule are France and Spain, but even they only recently have escaped that pattern, and they are still not completely free of it just two years ago there was fear that Spain would collapse into civil war again.Because the ancestors of the Russians lived in Byzantium, they absorbed its culture, and when they moved northward into what would become Russia, they took that culture with them, thus, basically, Russia is a mediterranean country, but far to the north, its a mediterranean country but without the sunshine. Russian machismo, like latin american, is rooted in its Greco-Roman roots. Machismo, the culture of exagerated manliness, sexism and womanizing, had its origins in ancient Greece, from there it spread to Italy, then to Spain, then to Latin America and its practiced in Russia too.Now, don't get me wrong there are things unique to the Russians; the Slavs had their own culture which they BLENDED with mediterranean elements. For example, one thing unique to the Russians, is to never complain. Man or woman, a Russian never complains; ever. No matter how hard things are, if you complain even a little, in the old days in Russia your parents would beat you severely, no matter how small the complaint was. They literally used to beat the tendency to complain out of their kids. That, is a very Slavic cultural characteristic; not just the Russians, but Slavs throughout eastern Europe, and the ones in the Balkans, tell their kids to NEVER, EVER, complain. That attitude has indeed earned them the respect of many people, even their enemies. If you wan to know Fedo Emanialenko's secret to his success in MMA, adopt that Russian mentality.Moving on; yes, its possible, but a country has to be massive, outside of Russia, even the other huge countries, namely Canada, China, the United States and India, are not fully self-sufficient. The medium sized and small countries, exist on the whim of the big ones. The one exception to the rule, regarding medium sized countries is Saudi Arabia, actually size wise its medium large, but anyway; Saudi Arabia has self sufficiency because if they need something, they can just buy it. The stereotypes are largely true; oil wealthy Arabs are a pretty spoiled people. I think in Qatar, you get $30,000 per year, just for being a citizen. If you were born in Qatar, or Kuwait, if you are an Arab from the region, you automatically get a 30k stipend, U.S., every year in ADDITION to your salary doing whatever it is you do for a living. Basically, if you live in an oil rich Arab country you don't have to work; EVER. They hire other people to do stuff for them.In Saudi Arabia, professional office work is done by Koreans, hospital work, is done by Indians working as doctors in hospitals were the head doctor is of course a Saudi, its mandatory that a Saudi male always has to be in charge, hard labor, is done by Malaysians, and, yet more Indians. House work is done by Malaysian women.So..... if they basically don't work, what do the Saudis do all day?I think they watch the news, visit Russian hookers and complain about Israel.Saudi Farmers are hard workers, so are Hebrew Muslims but, regarding Hebrew Muslims, the descendants of Jews who chose to convert to Islam rather than be beheaded by Mohamed (well, beheaded or exhiled), those people do a lot of menial labor. In Saudi Arabia, if you see a maid that happens to be semitic, chances are she's either Hebrew, or possibly Palestinian, OR, from somewhere in North Africa, it could be anywhere from the poorer areas of the Arab world.Yes self-sufficiency is possible, but it requires ridiculous amounts of geographic wealth like Russia has, or, ridiculous resource wealth period like Saudi Arabia. Even possessing those things though you need a group of people who can make the best of it; although Russia is easily the richest country in the world as far as untaped wealth, it is the poorest country, because the politics are so corrupt, the powerful people are so corrupt they can't use it. By contrast, Japan has next to nothing; no oil, no massive land mass and yet they are the second richest country in the world. Hell if the Japanese took over Russia, they'd conquer the world. Not that it would be a good thing; in some ways be thankful Japan and Britain weren't any bigger.

Why did Australia become a continent?
about 250 million years ago the dry land of the world consisted of one large continent known as Gondwanaland. This continent floated on a lake ofliquid that is the core of the earth weaknesses in Gondwanaland led to cracks forming resulting in the formation of shields that now comprise the continents of the Earth. These began to break away from each other 250 million years ago leading to the position of the continents as we know them today. Australia was one of these Shields and broke free from what is Asia today about 30 million years ago.
