Is Israel a part of Asia or of Europe?

========================================

that this is quite reasonable.

========================================

As said above Israel is part of Asia (middle east being more of a cultural group of countries- islamist, than a continent).

That said Israel is at the crossroads between Europe Asia and Africa. This means that while its geographical grouping is definitely Asia, it holds more in common culturally with the rest of europe (It is far less arabic in origin than the rest of the middle eastern countries) - and is treated as a member of europe in some minor ways (e.g. being included in Eurovision song contest). From a flora and fauna point of view Israel is shown to be the central country bordering all three continents, as historically animals from all three continents roamed here, though most of these are now locally extinct.

Describe the climate of east Asia?

Japanese are proud of their four seasons (and a surprising number believe the phenomenon is unique to Japan), but the discerning tourist should try to aim for two of them.
Spring is probably the best time of year to be in Japan. The temperatures are warm but not hot, there's not too much rain, and March-April brings the justly famous cherry blossoms and is a time of revelry and festivals. Just watch out for Golden Week (April 27 to May 6), the longest holiday of the year, when everybody travels and everything is booked full.

Summer starts with a dreary rainy season in June and turns into a steam bath in July-August, with extreme humidity and the temperature heading as high as 40°C. O-Bon (mid-August), when everybody is on the road again, is probably the worst possible time to visit. Avoid, or do as the Japanese do and head to northern Hokkaido or the mountains of Chubu and Tohoku to escape.

Autumn - Fall, starting in September, is a close second to spring. Temperatures become more tolerable, fair days are common and fall colors can be just as impressive as cherry blossoms.

Winter is a good time to go skiing or hot-spring hopping, but as the Japanese have yet to figure out the wonders of central heating, it's often miserably cold indoors. Heading south to Okinawa provides some relief. Also watch out for New Years (December 29 to January 3), the only days of the year when

On which continent is Portuguese spoken?

Brazil and Portugal are the world's two countries in which the greatest percentage of the total population uses Portuguese as their main vehicle for communication and social interaction. For Portuguese is the official language in both countries, and it's known, spoken and understood by very close to all of the countries' peoples. In addition, Portuguese continues to be a main spoken language in the former colonies of Portugal. For the language continues to hold official language status in the African countries of Angola, Cape Verde Islands, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe. Such has been the impact of the Portuguese on the continent that the language shares official language status with Spanish and French in Equatorial Guinea. And there are substantial Portuguese speaking communities in Mauritius and Senegal; and growing numbers in Morocco and South Africa. Additionally, Portuguese is a main spoken language in the former colonies of East Timor and Macau in Asia. For the language shares official status with the indigenous Tetum in the first cast. And in the second case, the language shares official status with Chinese.

What are major landforms in Guyana?

Most of Guyana is tropical rainforest and savanna (grassy plains), with some mountainous areas, many of the mountains in the form of "tepuis" or table-top mountains. Most of the indigenous Amerindian peoples live there. The majority of the people in Guyana live on the coastal plains, a thin strip of flat land on the Atlantic coast, much of which is under sea-level and is protected by a sea-wall. This is where the sugar and rice plantations are found. The name "Guyana" comes from an Amerindian word meaning "Land of Many Waters", as there are many rivers in Guyana, such as the Essequibo, the Demerara, the Potaro, the Pomeroon, the Berbice.

The ottoman empire was headquartered in what city?

The Capital of the Ottoman Empire was originally called Byzantium before being renamed as Constantinople and was renamed by Ottomans as Istanbul.

It's says in my history book...: The victorious sultan rode to Hagia Sophia, the city's largest Christian church. There he offered thanks to Allah and gave orders that the church be transformed into a mosque. He decreed that Constantinopole was now a Muslim city, the capital of a Muslim empire, and renamed it Istanbul. The Byzantine Empire was no more.

The Ottoman Empire no longer exists, its capital was Istanbul. The capital of modern Turkey is Ankara.

Edirne was the third capital city of the Ottoman Empire, before Constantinople

Why is the white cliffs of dover popular?

The White Cliffs of Dover are important to some people, mainly older people, as they represented "home" during the Second World War - as in the wartime song "There'll be bluebirds over, the the white cliffs of Dover".

What is the difference between the Balkan and the Jutland peninsula?

Tricky question. I assume you refer to the national conflicts in 1850's - 1860's on the Jutland Peninsula respectively the Balkan conflict of 1990's. If one compare Denmark to Serbia, and Holstein to break-away Yugoslav republics like Slovenia and Croatia, then I think the major difference is that the 100% German Holstein didn't just want to leave the Danish Kingdom (as the smaller republics wanted to leave Serbia), but to pull the ethnically mixed Schleswig along with it, which was unacceptable to the Danish government. The similarity is that Denmark was pointing to a 1.000 years old ownership of Schleswig (originally agreed with the German Emperor in 812 AD), just as Serbia pointed to a historical right to Kosovo going back to at least the 14th century.
