Geography

An example of a region would be the Northwestern United States, or the Appalachian Mountain Range. Also the tri-state area (New York-New Jersey-Connecticut) is a region. There's a vast amount of regions across the globe and it is all on one's preference on what they consider a region.

Japan has had a modest military since the post-WWII Allied Occupation. It has around 250,000 active personnel, with approximately 60,000 reserves. It has a budget of around $55 billion, which is 1% of its GDP.

The economy of Japan is the third largest in the world. Japan is the world's largest creditor nation. Therefore Japan's economic power is greater than its military might.

Yes, Korea, China, and Japan are all countries located in East Asia, which is a region within the larger continent of Asia. Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent, consisting of diverse countries and cultures.

Africa is the second largest continent in the world, characterized by diverse landscapes including deserts, tropical rainforests, savannas, and mountain ranges. The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Indian Ocean to the east, and connects with the Middle East via the Sinai Peninsula.

This is called a biome. There are many different biomes on the planet Earth, and each one is essential to its continued function and sustenance of life.

Straightening of river reduces floods in the immediate area because it allows the water to go straight instead of having to turn through curves. A natural meandering river has a curvy or sinusoidal shape to its path. A straight river would travel only a kilometer per kilometer of valley floor. Water associated with a curvy river will have to follow the natural sinusoidal curves and will travel considerably more distance per kilometer of valley floor. Also, water in a natural river will have a slower velocity because the course of the river is altered with every curve. A straight river sheds water faster from the immediate area because it has less distance to travel and is not slowed by the curves, however the straightening a river is associated with negative consequences including increased risk of flooding downstream and increased erosion.

Increasing the velocity causes more erosion. If a river is straight then erosion digs the river into a deeper and deeper channel. A curvy river is typically has a slower velocity and erodes less. Also the erosion in a curvy river is associated with the 'cut bank' or outside of each curve not with a deepening channel as seen in straightened rivers. If you imagine yourself as a water molecule traveling down the river when you arrive at the outside of a curve your inertia will cause you to run into the 'cut bank' until the outer bank slows your speed and alters your course. You may have caused a slight bit of erosion but because you keep hitting curves you can not build up the speed needed to induce much erosion. After eroding from the "cut bank" sediment is often deposited in the 'point bar' or inside of the next curve. This causes the curves to slowly meander sometimes leaving 'ox bows' or multiple channels. Building roads or structures in these meandering curves is unwise as inevitably erosion will destroy the structure. The fast moving waters of a straight river can carry far more sediments down stream because of the increased velocity. Straightened streams often had to be lined with concrete or 'rip rap' where the original curvy river did not because the high velocity induced severe deepening of streams and both banks would then collapse in.

Straitened rivers increase the risk of flooding downstream. A straight river or stream holds less water per distance unit of valley floor than a natural and curvy river. In a rain event a natural curvy river will hold more water. Also, since it is not slowed by the curves of a natural river, a straight river will shed what little water it holds faster. This is exacerbated by the draining of wetlands upstream and the tiling of agricultural lands to shed standing water. Wetlands and intermittent pools act as large sponges, holding and delivering rain and snow-melt slowly to downstream rivers. Furthermore, the loss of flood planes by building levies causes rivers to rise higher during flood events and again delivers more water downstream in a short amount of time.

Floods downstream have become more 'flashy' and acute because of straightening of rivers, building of levies and draining of wetlands. A rain event in the Midwest of North America prior to European settlement would have induced far less of a flood height down stream than the same rain event would cause today. This is because the water would be delivered to downstream locations slowly over a greater duration of time.

1. Alaska is the widest state in the United States, with a width of over 2,261 miles.

2. Texas is the second widest state, spanning approximately 801 miles from east to west.

3. California ranks third in width, measuring around 770 miles from its eastern border to the coast.

4. Montana is the fourth widest state, with a width of about 630 miles.

5. Oregon is the fifth widest state, with a width of around 400 miles.

People settled near the Indus River because of its fertile land for agriculture, access to water for irrigation, and transportation. The river also provided a natural barrier against invasions and supported the growth of urban centers in the ancient Indus Valley civilization.

The tilt of Earth's axis causes seasons by affecting the angle at which sunlight hits the surface. When one hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, it is summer there, while the other hemisphere is tilted away and experiences winter. This tilt, combined with Earth's orbit around the sun, creates a division of seasons between the northern and southern hemispheres.

This is the only place in Russia where they are found.

In Dominica, you can find volcanic rocks such as basalt, andesite, and rhyolite due to the island's volcanic origin. Additionally, there are sedimentary rocks like limestone and shale, as well as metamorphic rocks like schist and gneiss. The diverse geology of Dominica offers a range of rock types for exploration and study.

Traditional foods in Siberia include hearty dishes such as pelmeni (dumplings), borscht (beet soup), shashlik (grilled meat skewers), and stroganina (frozen raw fish or meat slices). Berries, mushrooms, and fish are also commonly consumed in Siberia due to the region's rich natural resources. Additionally, dairy products like cottage cheese and sour cream are popular in Siberian cuisine.

Montana is "bigger."

Montana has a total area of 147,042 square miles.

Poland has a total area of 120,696 square miles.

A location can affect a place by influencing its accessibility, climate, natural resources, and cultural characteristics. For example, being situated near a coast can impact a place's economy through trade and tourism, while being located in a mountainous region can affect its agriculture and biodiversity.

The number of national elections to be held in Africa in 2011 is unprecedented with 27 countries holding crucial presidential, legislative and local elections. These countries include: Benin (presidential and national assembly), Burkina Faso (local), Cameroon (presidential), Cape Verde (presidential and national assembly), Central Africa Republic (presidential and national assembly), Chad (presidential, national assembly and local), the Democratic Republic of Congo (presidential and national assembly ), Djibouti (regional and local), Egypt (presidential), Gabon (national assembly), Liberia (presidential, house of representatives and junior senators), Madagascar (presidential, national assembly and local), Mauritania (national assembly, regional and local senate), Mauritius (regional assembly), Niger (presidential), Nigeria (national assembly, presidential, state assemblies and governors), Rwanda (senate and local), Sao Tome (local and presidential), Seychelles (presidential), South Africa (local), Southern Sudan (independence referendum), Tunisia (chamber of councilors), Uganda (presidential, national assembly and local), Zambia (presidential, national assembly and local), Zimbabwe (constitutional referendum, presidential, national assembly, senate and local).

The southern colonies, including Virginia, Maryland, the Carolinas, and Georgia, had a warm and humid climate, fertile soil suitable for cash crop farming (tobacco, rice, indigo), and access to waterways such as rivers and the Atlantic Ocean for trade and transportation. The region also had swamps and forests that provided resources for industries like timber and naval stores.

The old English period was not notably influenced by the Vikings.

The spring solstice is the beginning of Spring. (March 21st)

There is no spring solstice only winter and summer. There are spring and fall equinoxes when the amount of daylight and darkness are the same (12 hrs each).

A solstice occurs when darkness (winter) or daylight (summer) are at a maximum for the year. It is due to the tilt of the earth's axis of rotation relative to the plane it revolves around the sun in. Same thing that gives the seasons.

A field site is the area of the country where a researcher goes to study their special subject. Be it fish, rock, insects, fumaroles etc. The permission of the land owner is usually required, should always be sought, and acknowledged.

In some of the natural sciences the area where a plant or animal (or other specimen) was found is known as the "type locality" and this gives others an idea of where to look for more of the same.

The answer is "hot and cold faucet." A firefighter cannot win in a "house fire" as their goal is to save lives and property, not destroy them.

There are at least two: the Aleutians in Alaska, and the Keys in Florida. The Hawaiian Islands, 5Oth US state, consist entirely of an archipelago.

Angola has entered into visa-free agreements with several countries. As of September 2021, Angola has visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to around 50 countries and territories.

Volcanoes along the western edge of North America are caused by the subduction of the oceanic Pacific Plate beneath the continental North American Plate. This geological process creates magma that rises to the surface, resulting in volcanic activity. In contrast, the eastern edge of North America is not tectonically active, so there are no subduction zones or volcanic activity in that region.

The longest name of any city in the United States is Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula, which is referred to simply as Los Angeles.

However, the longest name of any city in the world is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateahaumaitawhitiurehaeaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu. This city belongs to New Zealand.

A tourist complex is a development that includes various amenities and facilities for tourists, such as hotels, restaurants, shops, and recreational activities. It is designed to provide a comprehensive experience for visitors in one location.
