MIINA HÄRMA GYMNASIUM Deserts Saudi-Arabia Tartu 2007 Deserts In geography, a desert is a landscape form or region that receives very little precipitation. Generally, deserts are defined as areas that receive an average annual precipitation of less than 250 mm (10 inches). Deserts cover at least one-fourth of the Earth's land surface. Desert biomes can be classified according to several characteristics. There are four major types of deserts: · Hot and dry · Semiarid · Coastal · Cold Location The four major North American deserts of hot and dry deserts are the Chihuahuan, Sonoran, Mojave and Great Basin. Others outside the U.S. include the Southern Asian
as polyp. There are more than 300 varieties of coral, which is a ultimate dream of every shell- collector. There are undersea observations, glass-bottomed boats and water scopes for undersea viewing, as well as skin-diving equipment. The Great Barrier Reef is and ideal place for a sunny holiday. The relief: Australia is an old and low continent with simple relief. Plains cover the greater part of the land. Most of the rocks have turned into sand and there are big sand deserts on the Western Plateau. In the centre of Australia are lowlands which are covered with sedimentary rocks. Deserts cover most of the land in Australia. Most of the deserts lie in the central and north-western part of the country. The deserts in Australia occupy 18% of the continent. The biggest deserts are the Great Victory Desert, the Great Sandy Desert, the Tanami Desert, the Simpson Desert and the Gibson Desert.

The average rainfall is 30 to 60 inches a year. In deciduous forests there are five different zones. The deciduous forest has four distinct seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In the autumn the leaves change color. During the winter months the trees lose their leaves. The animals adapt to the climate by hibernating in the winter and living off the land in the other three seasons. DesertDeserts cover about one fifth of the Earth's land surface. Deserts temperature ranges from 20 to 25° C. The extreme maximum temperature ranges from 43.5 to 49°. Hot and Dry Deserts usually have very little rainfall and concentrated rainfall in short periods between long rainless periods. Most Hot and Dry Deserts don't have very many plants. The only animals they have that can survive have the ability to burrow under ground. They only come out in the night when it is a little cooler.

energy more. By driving electic-car, it is possible to save energy about 20% and reduce global emissions. Carbon dioxide is used to grow tomatoes. Tomatoes which are eaten, have come out straight of exhaust of engine and gas turbine burning gas. But still this carbon dioxide finds its way to atmosphere through our bodies. It is possible to save energy if you isolate your freezers what freezes fish. Then you can reduce your freexing temperature. Deserts would be amazing places to storage sunlight energy. But to do this, we have to forget AC, because we need DC lines. If many big countries would say, that roofs have to have solar cells, it saves a lot of energy and saves also money. In future, all new power stations have to offer carbon dioxide capture and also must pump it away.

traditions. The Great Wall of China is the typical and the most common symbol of China. The Great Wall of China was built from 5th century BC to 16th century to protect Chinese Empire from Mongol invaders. The Great Wall of China boasts with its lenght of 6400km and it is even recognisable for the outer space. It was really hard to build a massive wall on landscape so diverse. The northern part of China is quite mountainous and covered by huge deserts. On the other hand the southern part is famous for its enormous rainforests. The Chinese people are know as really kind and helpful people and they are also known as tiny people. China is one of the biggest countries in the world in terms of area and population. The population of China is about 1.3 billion. Despite the past experience with communism, people are open-minded and modern. People in China are hard-working and some of them are quite smart

3. Relief Australia is the smallest continent in the world It is often called the island continent because is too big for an island but rather small for a continent. Australia is 1,800 miles from the mainland of Asia and almost half way round the world from Europe. More than 6,000 miles of ocean separate in from the America. Australia is the only continent except for Antarctica that lies all south of the equator. The natural zones of Australia are very various. There are deserts, semi deserts, grasslands, savannas, bushlands and rainforests. The wet forests occupy the narrow region in the east. Most of the animals, birds and insects live in that region, because there is enough food. The savannas which are grasslands with some trees are mostly in the west. Farther west are the bushlands. The real deserts occupy the centre of the Western Plateau. In the very south west there are thin forests of evergreens trees.
The continent it fills is called Australia too. So, Australia is both a country and a continent. If you want to make clear that you are speaking about the country, you may call it the Commonwealth of Australia. It’s the official name of the country. Australia is the smallest continent, but one of the largest countries on Earth. It’s 6th largest country. Its area is about 7.6 million sq km. One third of it is occupied by deserts. It’s both the flattest and, except for Antarctica the driest. Neighbouring countries include Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea in the north, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu in the northeast, and New Zealand in the southeast. Its capital is Canberra. Other big cities are Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. National language in Australia is English. Monetary unit is Australian dollar. Their national holiday is on the 26th of January

The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef. It lies off the north-eastern coast and extends for over 2000 kilometres. The famous mountain range in the eastern part of Australia is the Great Diving Range and it's highest peak is Mount Kasciusco's 2230m. In the continental part, there are the Macdonnell ranges. Other smaller mountain ranges are the Musgrave Mountains, the Hammessley Mountains and the Darling Mountains. The continental part of Australia is mostly covered with deserts and these deserts are the Great Sandy Desert in the north-western part, the Great Victoria dessert in the southern part and Gibson desert and the Simpson desert. The Murray River is the largest river of the country and it is 2,375 kilometres long, it rises in the Australian Alps and flows to the south-west.

Environmental problems Nimi Klass Biodiversity The variety of life on Earth, its biological diversity, is commonly referred to as biodiversity. The number of species of plants, animals, and microorganisms, the enormous diversity of genes in these species, the different ecosystems on the planet, such as deserts, rainforests and coral reefs are all part of a biologically diverse Earth. Appropriate conservation and sustainable development strategies attempt to recognize this as being integral to any approach. In some way or form, almost all cultures have recognized the importance of nature and its biological diversity for their societies and have therefore understood the need to maintain it. Yet, power, greed and politics have affected the precarious balance. Why Is Biodiversity Important

Australia, being the world smallest continent but the world sixth-largest country by total area, with its 7.741.220 square kilometres land has only 24 million people. The geography of the country is extremely diverse, ranging from the snow-capped mountains of the Australian Alps to large deserts, tropical and temperate forest. 70% of the Australian mainland is classified as desert which is mainly located in the centre of Australia what explains now the population. When you visit Australia, there aren't many expressions you'll hear more often than "no worries, mate".They are very laid-back, irreverent, funny and happy people. Maybe it's all the sunshine, the miles of beaches, or the pristine nature, or the excellent quality of life but nothing seems to worry them.

climate. A highly developed country, Australia is the world's 12th largest economy and has the world's fifthhighest per capita income. Enviroment. Although most of Australia is semiarid or desert, it includes a diverse range of habitats from alpine heaths to tropical rainforests. Australian forests are mostly made up of evergreen species, particularly eucalyptus trees in the less arid regions, wattles replace them in drier regions and deserts as the most dominant species. Among wellknown Australian fauna are the monotremes (the platypus and echidna); a host of marsupials, including the kangaroo, koala, and wombat, and birds such as the emu and the kookaburra. The koala and eucalyptus form an iconic australian pair pair. Culture. Since 1788, the basis of Australian culture has been strongly influenced by Anglo-Celtic Western culture

have been walking quite a while now and suddenly, you feel you are thirsty. So what would you do …. Probably you go to the nearest store down the street and buy a bottle of water; a bubbly water, a vitamin water, a water from the fridge, there is so many variety of waters and still you have something to complain about how the water is to expensive how the day is too hot, how the water is too cold . And now imagine… imagine the people, who live in African deserts, imagine feeling thirsty and not having any water at all, not around you, not anywhere. People who live there they have to make long journeys or treks over rough and barren land to get water and when they finally reach to that hole in the ground, then that water there isn’t even clean. It takes so much time and energy, just to get a glass water or in the Africans case, a filled 90’s plastic bottle filled with soggy liquid, that does not deserve the title “water”

Its capital city is Brisbane, which is the third largest city in Australia. Because it lies in the Northeast part of Australia, its climate is mainly tropical. South Australia is famous as it is the region of fruit farming, vineyards and olive groves. Only the southern coast is fertile, most of the state is arid. Its capital is Adelaide, which is known for the Adelaide circuit. Western Australia is the biggest state in Australia. It is rich in deserts, as the central part of the state is practically a desert in whole and nearly uninhabited. On the other hand, the desert is important for its resources and mining. Western Australian capital is Perth with a population of 1.5 million people. Tasmania is the second most densely populated state. Its capital is Hobart, which is a fine Georgian city. Tasmania became the most popular settling region for Europeans due to favorable climate to them.

The Darling Mountains. Australia's longest river is the Darling, which flows into Southern Ocean and is 2,700 kilometers long. The other long river is The Murray River. Australia's only large permanent lakes have been artificially created. Most of the natural lakes are dry for months or years at a time. Lake Eyre is the largest lake in Australia and is the lowest point in Australia. It's about 15m below sea level. The biggest deserts are The Great Sandy Desert and The Victoria Desert. History Two hundred years ago there were no white people in Australia. The only inhabitants were dark-skinned people who were still living in Stone Age. Their only weapons were stone knives, simple spears and boomerangs. They raised no crops and had no herds of tame animals. For food they hunted and fished and gathered wild fruits and nuts. But their tribes had very wellworked-out customs. A few aborigines still live in
................................................................... 11 3 Introduction The United States of America is an enormous country. It is the third largest in the world after Russia and Canada. In the USA there are 50 states of which 48 lie together. The population of The USA is about 300 million people. The territory is about 10 million square kilometers. Its geography is very diverse ranging from moist rainforests to dry deserts and bald mountain peaks. There are two big mountain ranges, one of them is the Rocky Mountains and the other is The Appalachian Mountains. The Capital of The USA is Washington D.C. Other big and famous cities are New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago and Las Vegas. The national anthem of the United States is "The Star-Spangled Banner", with lyrics written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key. There are 6 time zones. From east to west they are: Eastern Standard Time, which is 5
There are also big-game fish, like the coral cod, which weighs up to 200 pounds. The Relief. Australia is a low and old continent. Its relief is simple plains cover the greater part of it. West Australia was once part of Gondwanaland (manner, mis koosnes erinevate maailmajagude osadest). The Western Plateau consists of tablelands and some mountains of denudation. Most of the rocks have turned into sand. There are big sand deserts on the Western Plateau; the Great Desert and the Victoria Desert. In central Australia there are lowlands, covered with sedimentary rocks (settekivimid). The Great Dividing Range runs along the Pacific coast. The mountains are old and worn down. The Australian Alps are the highest of them. The highest top of Australia is Mount Kosciusko (2,2 km above sea level). Australian rocks are rich in gold, polymetallic ores, iron ore, copper, uranium. Much coal is mined in the sedimentary rocks of
million acres (150 million hectares). Hawaii, occupying an archipelago in the central Pacific, southwest of North America, has just over 1.6 million hectares. There are many lakes in American for example Lake Michigan or Lake Hudson. There are also many rivers for example the longest river is Mississippi which is one of the longest rivers in the world. There are really big mountain ranges like the Rocky Mountains. Also there are several deserts like Arizona desert. In USA the climate is really multifarious. It includes most of the climate types, like in one point in America there can be more than 30 degrees warm and in other point there can be -20 degrees. The United States is home to more than 400 mammal, 750 bird, and 500 reptile and amphibian species. About 91,000 insect species have been described.

Landforms Only 5% of the land is above 600 meters. Most of the land is empty. Most of the people live in the south and in east. 2/3 of Australia is a desert with hills and big saltlakes. The biggest deserts are the Great Sandy Desert, the Gibson Desert, the Simpson Desert, The Great Victoria Desert. The biggest mountain ranges are the Great Divining Range, the Australian Alps, the Blue Mountains and the New England Range. The outback is flat and hot centre of Australia.

The Great Barrier Reef is in the north-east of Australia, between the Coral Sea and the mainland. The western part of Australia is covered with deserts. Most of the rocks have turned into sand. The biggest of them is the Great Sandy Desert, which lies in the north of Western Australia. The Gibson Desert is in the middle of Western Australia. The Victoria Desert is in the south of Western and South Australia. The Tanami Desert is in the west of the Northern Territory. The Simpson Desert is in the south-east of the Northern Territory.

1) INDIAN ROCK ART: A NATIONAL TREASURE IN DANGER Unrecognized, unprotected, this priceless legacy of primitive art has endured the ravages of nature only to fall victim to wanton destruction by ,,civilized" man. Like the huge stone statues of Easter Island and prehistoric cave paintings of Altamira and Lascaux, North American Indian rock art is surrounded by an atmosphere of mystery.

You had your mind made up, that's evident; And now you're snatching at a trifling pretext To justify the breaking of your word. MARIANE Exactly so. VALERE Of course it is; your heart Has never known true love for me. MARIANE Alas! You're free to think so, if you please. VALERE Yes, yes, I'm free to think so; and my outraged love May yet forestall you in your perfidy, And offer elsewhere both my heart and hand.

But I may find more kindness in another; I know of someone, who'll not be ashamed To take your leavings, and make up my loss.

We will lose another 72 square miles to encroaching deserts, as a result of human mismanagement and overpopulation. We will lose 40 to 100 species, and no one knows whether the number is 40 or 100. Today the human population will increase by 250,000. And today we will add 2,700 tons of chlorofluorocarbons to the atmosphere and 15 million tons of carbon. Tonight the Earth will be a little hotter, its waters more acidic, and the fabric of life more threadbare.
She is the typical betrayed wife whose husband cheats on her, yet a devoted mother who nevertheless raises fine children. She is strong in that sense. Her husband's betrayal makes her think she is no longer attractive, but she moves on with her life and stays true to him. Dolly copes with the few options she has in an already defined society. She becomes unhappy but doesn't make everyone feel bad for her. Dolly is the only one who remains a friend to Anna when everyone else deserts her. Tolstoy doesn't focus on Dolly very seriously, but she appears as a unique heroine in her own right. Alexey Alexandrovich Karenin: Karenin starts off as a society man, obsessed with superficial appearances and money. He resists his passions, however, and instead does what is right. That the sexual drive in his marriage fizzles doesn't bother Karenin; he loves Anna because she is his wife and that is how it should be. He is a faithful husband and follows every law
