What is the narrow gently sloping strip of land that lies along the edge of the lake?

The narrow gently sloping strip of land that lies along the edge of the lake is known as a shoreline. The shoreline is typically composed of a variety of materials including sand mud rock and vegetation. It is usually the lowest-lying area along the lakes edge and is often the most heavily used part of the lake. The shoreline is important for a variety of reasons including providing habitat for fish and other aquatic life serving as a buffer between the lake and the land and providing recreational opportunities for people. It can also be used to reduce the impacts of flooding erosion and pollution.

What is a rift vally?

What are the resources in Greece?

Greece is relatively poor in natural resources. Bauxite, from which aluminum is produced, is the most significant mineral resource, and there are also deposits of asbestos, nickel, magnesite, and marble. The country has little black coal, and its lignite (brown coal) is of poor quality. The reserves of other commercially important minerals, such as chromium, copper, uranium, and magnesium, are relatively small. Greece's small petroleum deposits, located under the Aegean Sea near the island of Thasos, are rapidly being depleted. There are no significant reserves of natural gas.

Greece's forests, probably abundant in ancient times, have been significantly depleted. Subsequent soil erosion has made reforestation efforts difficult. Although much of Greece's soil is rocky and dry, the country's mountains are interspersed with small valleys where the soils are of the rich Mediterranean terra rosa (red earth) variety. Cultivated fields and orchards cover 30 percent of the country. The fertile plains of Thessaly, Macedonia, and western Thrace are prime agricultural areas.

Where are the plateaus in Alaska?

In Alaska, notable plateaus include the Yukon Plateau, located in the central part of the state, and the Alaska Range's eastern foothills. The Brooks Range also features elevated plateau regions, particularly in its northern areas. These plateaus are characterized by their rugged terrain and relatively flat surfaces, often surrounded by mountains and valleys. The topography contributes to diverse ecosystems and habitats in the region.

What effective way to fight desertification?

Reforestation addresses the root causes of desertification. Techniques focus on three aspects: provisioning of water, fixation of the soil, and hyper-fertilizing the soil.

Contour trenches are 150m long, 1m deep trenches in the soil, parallel to the height lines of the landscape to prevent erosion caused by the flow of water. Stone walls around the trenches prevent them from filling in. Sand fences can also be used to control drifting of soil and sand erosion.

Fixating the soil is accomplished by the use of shelter belts, woodlots and windbreaks. Zaï or tillage are used to enable crops to grow in consolidated soils (like clay).

Enriching the soil and restoration of its fertility is often done by plants. Of these, the Leguminous plants, which extract nitrogen from the air and fix it in the soil, and food crops/trees such as grains, barley, beans and dates are the most important.

What keep temperatures mild in Mexico central plateau?

With an altitude of 1000-2300 m (3300-7500 ft), most of the Mexican central plateau has a gentle weather and fairly constant temperatures of 21 ºC (70 ºF). An example of this is Mexico City, which is at the same latitude of Hawaii, but due to the effect of altitude, it has a mean temperature of 23 ºC (73 ºF).
