The Great Wall of China Asia, China The Great Wall of China is a series of stone fortifications built in China from the 5th century BC to the 16th century. The wall was built throughout several dynasties to protect the empire from Xiongnu attacks. The Great Wall of China stretches over approximately 6,700 kilometers, passing through Gansu Province, Ninxia Hui Autonomous Region, Shaanxi Province, Shanxi Province, Inner Mongolia, Hebei Province and Liaoning Province. It was once claimed the Great Wall is visible to human eyes from the moon. But it is proved to be just a myth as no astronaut has ever claimed they had seen the Great Wall of China from the moon. Three main passes of the Great Wall of China are Juyongguan, Jiayuguan and Shanhaiguan.

used helicopters to pour sand and boron on the reactor debris. The sand was to stop the fire and additional releases of radioactive material; the boron was to prevent additional nuclear reactions. A few weeks after the accident, the crews completely covered the damaged unit in a temporary concrete structure, called the “sarcophagus,” to limit further release of radioactive material. • After the accident, officials closed off the area within 30 kilometers (18 miles) of the plant, except for persons with official business at the plant and those people evaluating and dealing with the consequences of the accident and operating the undamaged reactors. The Soviet (and later on, Russian) government evacuated about 115,000 people from the most heavily contaminated areas in 1986, and another 220,000 people in subsequent years.

Last summer we decided to go through bogs of Lavassaare. As it was going to be a week-long tramp, we considered our equipment carefully. We made list of everything we needed and then crossed out all that wasn't absolutely nesseccery. We couldn't have better timing: it was clear and warm all week long and it was exact time for wild strawberries and blueberries. We enjoyed the nature and especially the bog lakes. We spent six days in bog and travelled 55 kilometers with this time. This may seem as a short distance, but in bog, where your every step sinks and bog lakes lie exacly on your way, it is pretty long.

I would not want to live somewhere else because I think Estonia has everything what a perfect place should have. Many people who live in Estonia are dreaming of a home in a warmer place. There are many reasons why I would not want to live there. One reason is that the weather stays excactly the same every day but in Estonia we have different seasons. Furthermore why I like living in Estonia is that the nature is amazing and if I am very tired I could just go 10 kilometers out of the city and I would be in pure nature, but in China it would be impossible. I am happy about my life in Estonia. I cannot imagine a better place to live. I am never going to move a different country to live because I love Estonia and this is the perfect place I would want to live.

PANGA CLIFF The Panga cliff is located on the northern shore of Saaremaa, at the end of the Kuressaare - Võhma road, close to Panga village. It is the highest of the Saaremaa and Muhu cliffs, reaching to a maximum of 21.3 meters. The entire cliff is approximately 2.5 kilometers long. Standing at the tip of the cliff, one can clearly see another half-circular cliff under water. This is especially noticeable during storms, when the waves break against the underwater rocks, while the inside of the half-circle is calm. During bird migrations in the spring and fall, this half-circular lagoon is a favorite stopover point for storks on their long trip to and from Egypt, where most of them spend the winter. Sometimes there are well over a hundred storks, as

vent. The most dangerous type of volcanic eruption is when freshly erupted magma is flowing. During the explosion, magma with rock fragments, flies into the air and then falls down. Magma, which have temperatures over 1200 degrees, may flow further than 40 km from the original disaster site. The lava destroys many building and plants also volcanic ash will harm humans when they breath it in. 2. The volcanic eruption of Mount Kelud on Java island blasted ash and debris 18 kilometers into the air. Eruption killed three people and forced 100,000 people to evacuate the area. Mount Kelud, what is 1,731 meter high, had been rumbling for several weeks and was under close observation. The disaster agency said that volcano had spewed millions of cubic meters of debris into the air. Breathing was painful, because ash hung so thickly in the air. 3. Scientists have discovered how lava dome volcanoes erupt and thanks to that they can
brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset. It is the brightest object in the sky except for the Sun and the Moon. During the last few years the scientists have found that Venus and Earth are very different. It has no oceans and is surrounded by a heavy atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide with virtually no water vapor. There are strong winds at the cloud tops but winds at the surface are very slow, no more than a few kilometers per hour. The surface of Venus retains a constant temperature between day and night and between the equator and the poles. We can't see the surface of Venus from Earth, because it is covered with thick clouds that strongly reflect sunlight. However, space missions to Venus have shown us that its surface is covered with craters, over 1600 major volcanoes, mountains, large highland terrains, and vast lava plains. Venus is usually visible with the unaided eye

Originating from cellulose producing and from paper mills, large amounts of poisonous chlorinated compounds are polluting the coastal waters of Sweden and Finland. Most of this material is still present in sediments of the central Baltic Sea and can be terminated by near bottom currents. [2] Unsustainable factory farming made the Baltic Sea one of the world's most polluted seas. A really bad year was 2010 unprecedented potentially toxic algae bloom covered almost 377,000 square kilometers. This is an area larger than Germany. This affects marine ecosystems and can cause important disturbance to them. [3] In my opinion, people should stop all the companies that spread toxic pollutants into the Baltic Sea. We could help cleaning it by supporting companies like: http://helcom.fi/Documents/Baltic%20sea%20action%20plan/Baltic_Sea_Action_Plan_brochur e.pdf I believe that with enough resources, the Baltic Sea would be much more cleaner.

never seen truth can´t see anything differently, if people hear lies all the time they start having doubts and problems in their lives. There was very well carried out idea about technology and power- how they can cause danger to people- nowadays technology is really developed so it is really easy to keep track on people what they do in their lives for example what films they watch, how they spend their money, where they travel every morning with their bus card and how many kilometers they run in a week. Privacy is gone, just flew out with the growth of technology. So „1984“ brings out all these threats that took place in London, Oceania and they do nowadays.
My dream house My dream house is located about few kilometers from the big city, in a very picturesque place near the endless river or bottomless lake.

the traffic from other parts of the island. The central highlands The central highlands contain a wide variety of topographies: rounded and eroded hills, massive . granite outcrops and alluvial plains and marshes. The central highlands include the Anjafy High Plateaux and the Ankaratra Massif. A prominent feature of the central highlands is a rift valley, the largest body of water on the island, having a length of forty kilometers. This region has experienced geological subsidence, and earth tremors are frequent here. The west coast The west coast, composed of sedimentary formations deposited in several layers over time, is more indented than the east coast. Deep bays and well-protected harbors have attracted explorers, traders, and pirates from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The area has served as an important bridge between Madagascar and the outside world.

5. Enne 1815. aasta purset oli vulkaani kõrgus umbes 4300 meetrit.Tamborale kuulub küll ajaloolise aja võimsaima vulkaanipurske au, kuid kindlasti pole see nii Maa ajaloos. Tambora ei kuulu nö supervulkaanide hulka, millised paiskavad tegutsema asudes atmosfääri sellised koguses tuhka ja vulkaanilisi gaase, et sel on Maa kliimale väga suur ja pikaaegne mõju. 6.This detailed astronaut photograph depicts the summit caldera of the volcano. The huge caldera is 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) in diameter and 1,100 meters (3,609 feet) deep. It formed when Tambora's estimated 4,000-meter- (13,123-foot) high peak was removed, and the magma chamber below emptied during the April 10 eruption. Today the crater floor is occupied by an ephemeral freshwater lake, recent sedimentary deposits, and minor lava flows and domes from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Northern Europe. It is bordered to the north by the Gulf of Finland, to the west by the Baltic Sea. Its neighbor countries are to the south Latvia, to the east Russia, to the north and over the Gulf of Finland, Finland and to the west and over the Baltic Sea, Sweden. Most of the lowland areas are in the middle of Estonia. Average elevation reaches only 50 meters and the country's highest point is the Suur Munamägi in the southeast at 318 meters. There is 3,794 kilometers of coastline marked by numerous bays, straits, and inlets. The number of islands and islets is estimated at some 1,500. Two of them are large enough to constitute separate counties: Saaremaa and Hiiumaa. A small, recent cluster of meteorite craters, the largest of which is called Kaali is found on Saaremaa, Estonia. Estonia has over 1,400 lakes. Most are very small, with the largest, Lake Peipus, (Peipsi in Estonian) being 3,555 km2. There are many rivers in the country
due to nitrogen, as is most blue colouring. The charged particles originate from the sun, and it is the 'weather' conditions on the sun that decide whether or not we will see the aurora. Particles can stream out from the sun and some are captured by the Earth's magnetic field and find their way into the polar regions. How high up are the Northern Lights? Most aurorae occur between 90 and 130 km above sea level, but some, particularly the ray-like forms, extend to several hundred kilometers up. In comparison, the usual altitude for a jet aircraft is around 10km and the ozone layer lies between 20 and 30km so we have to be almost up at the heights of satellites orbits to be at the same height as the aurora Best Northern Lights pic ever?

floor at a plate boundary rises or falls suddenly, it displaces the water above it and launches the rolling waves that will become a tsunami. WHAT CAUSES A TSUNAMI? Tsunamis may also be caused by underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions. They may even be launched, as they frequently were in Earth’s ancient past, by the impact of a large meteorite plunging into an ocean. TSUNAMI Can race up to 805 kilometers an hour. At that pace, they can cross the entire expanse of the Pacific Ocean in less than a day. And their long wavelengths mean they lose very little energy along the way. In deep ocean, tsunami waves may appear only a foot or so high. But as they approach shoreline and enter shallower water they slow down and begin to grow in energy and height. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT HITS LAND?
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 nearest neighbor may be a hundred kilometers away. The nearest city may be more than one thousand kilometers away. Many people in this area live on sheep stations which are enormous farms. Uluru One of the most beautiful things in Australia is Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the outback. It is an enormous rock alone in the middle of the desert. It is three kilometers long and 348 metres high. There is another 2000 meters under the ground. Uluru is 600 000 000 years old and it is the largest rock in the world. The Great Barrier Reef.
be the world's largest monolith, is located in Western Australia. At 2,228 metres, Mount Kosciuszko on the Great Dividing Range is the highest mountain on the Australian mainland, although Mawson Peak on the remote Australian territory of Heard Island is taller at 2,745 metres. The highest mountain ranges are The Macdonnal Mountains, The Musqrave Mountains, The Hamersley Mountains and 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
