Connecticut ,Rhode Island and Massachusetts are called New England. They are all small states in the U.S. that lie in the north-east. The first colony of immigrants settled down in Virginia, in the eastern part of the U.S.A. The biggest cities are New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc. The official language of the USA is English; Spanish is also widely spoken. The currency of the USA is the United States Dollar. Lakes and rivers The Mississippi is the major river of North America and the United States. It flows from north-western Minnesota south to the Gulf of Mexico.The western tributaries are the Red River, the Arkansas and the Missouri. The eastern tributaries are the Tennessee and the Ohio. Its name means the Father of Waters in the red Indian. Together with its tributaries it forms 20,000 km of navigable waterways.

Climate Because of the country's great size, the climate in australia ranges from tropical regions of the Northern Territory to the cool temperate conditions in the southeast and Tasmania, where it often snows in winter. In the north, half the year is wet and half is dry. And its a popular place for winter holidays in the sun. Western has dry, hot, deser climate. Eastern has temperate, wet, and rainfall occurs all year round. Mountains, Rivers and Lakes The Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef, lies a short distance off the north-east coast and extends for over 2,000 kilometres. Mount Augustus, claimed to 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.

Plateau. In the very southwest there are thin forests of evergreen trees. Most of Australian trees are kinds of eucalyptus (or gum tree to Australians) and acacia (wattle of Australians). Eucalyptuses give the people timber and eucalyptus oil. Of 600 kinds of acacias the golden wattle, the national flower of Australia, is the best known. Of other trees there grow bottle trees in the savannas, tree ferns in the tropical forests and many others. Lakes Australia has much underground water. There are only few lakes which are full of water only after it rains. The biggest lake is Lake Eyre which is a salt lake. The natural lakes of the interior of continental Australia are salt lakes. Fed by streams and rivers, they receive water rarely. Lake Eyre, Torrens, Frome and Gairdner are the remains of a vast inland sea which once extended south from the Gulf of Carpentaria. Rivers Australia has only few rivers
How to save fresh water? We all know what the problem is. Our lakes are dirty, people are wasting water for no reason not understanding how important it is not to waste it because we may soon run out of fresh water. It can seem like there's no solution, but there is! A few simple changes can help a lot. First of all, it is really important to keep our lakes clean, because nature is the premier source of fresh water. So people should stop dropping garbage into the lakes or near them. And walking pets near the lakes is also not such a good idea. It's not very nice to find some animal's body wastes while going to swim. Secondly, think about how much water you use. A few simple steps could save your money and help protect the environment. For example you should prefer shower to bath or you should turn the water off while brushing your teeth. Finally, people who work in agriculture, should start collecting rainwater to water their fields and gardens
• In 1939-1940, Estonia was occupied and (according to e.g. the USA, the EU, and the European Court of Human Rights) illegally annexed by the Soviet Union as a result of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. During the war Estonia was occupied b yNazi Germany in 1941, then reoccupied by the Soviet Union in 1944. Estonia regained independence in 1991 after the collapse of the USSR and joined the European Union in 2004. Rivers, Lakes, Waterfalls Estonia is a country of thousand of lakes. In the Estonian territory there are about 1200 natural lakes whose water area exceeds 1 ha. The largest of these is Lake Peipsi, which is the fourth largest freshwater lake in Europe. Most of Estonia's lakes are small and are found in the south of the country. Larger lakes such as Lake Peipsi and Lake Võrtsjärv are rich in fish. One can find rare species of fish such as the lake whitefish and the Peipsi smelt in Lake Peipsi
Water pollution Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans, and groundwater caused by human activities, which can be harmful to organisms and plants and for all of us. First, we have to talk about the causes of water pollution. Domestic households, industrial and agricultural practices produce wastewater that can cause pollution of many lakes and rivers. Industry is a huge source of water pollution, it produces pollutants that are extremely harmful to people and the environment. Dumping of litter in the sea can also cause huge problems. Different items take different lengths of time to degrade in water. Oceans are polluted by oil on a daily basis from oil spills, everyday shipping and dumping. Secondly, it is very significant to know about dangers of water pollution.

Canada stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. To the north lies the Arctic Ocean. The most densely populated part of the country is the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor in the east. This part is thinly soiled, rich in minerals, and dotted with lakes and rivers--over 60% of the world's lakes are in Canada. Canada is rich in lakes and rivers. The largest lake is the Great Bear Lake (31,153 km²). The Great Lakes are a group of five large lakes on or near the United States- Canadian border. They are the largest group of fresh water lakes on the earth and the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence system is the largest fresh-water system in the world. They are sometimes referred to as inland seas.
Me, my dad and my cousins traditionally go hiking every summer. 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.
Rich people are too busy with their jobs and they don't attention recycled paper. Also it takes more money to explain people what is recycled paper and government should report people about recycled paper campaign. It is clear that all uses of recycled paper should be clearly labelled. I think people will attention more about recycled paper this kind of systems. They understand that it is necessary for human race and environment Companies who discharge pollution into rivers, lakes and seas should be liable for cleaning up the environment. It could be argued that there are lot of pollution. Pollution is caused by many different companies and factories. Usually the most contaminating factories are manufacturing companies. They should be liable for cleaning up the environment because they cause this pollution. Also they should be financial punished. It is partly true, but it is comprehensible thanks to producing company's pollution into
Republic of Chile is a country in South America occupying a long and narrow coastal strip wedged between the Andes mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Chile's unusual, ribbon-like shape -- 4,300 kilometres long and on average 175 kilometres wide -- has given it a hugely varied climate, ranging from the world's driest desert -- the Atacama -- in the north, through a Mediterranean climate in the centre, to a snow-prone Alpine climate in the south, with glaciers, fjords and lakes. The Pacific forms the country's entire western border, with a coastline that stretches over 6,435 kilometres. Chile expanded in the late 19th century, when it incorporated its northern and southern regions. Southern Chile is rich in forests and grazing lands and features a string of volcanoes and lakes. The southern coast is a labyrinth of fjords, inlets, canals, twisting peninsulas, and islands. Prior to the coming of the Spanish in the 16th century, northern Chile was under Inca rule

The discovery of rich oil fields in Alberta in 1947 has made oil production one of Canada's leading industries. South of Newfoundland is one of the greatest fishing regions in the world. Much of Canada is covered with forests. A great deal of the wood from the forests in Quebec is used for making paper. Western forests produce much timber. The farms of eastern Canada are rather small. Potatoes are an important crop. Near the Great Lakes there are many orchards. Stretching west from the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay, there are great prairies. Spring wheat is the chief crop but other crops are important, too. West of the prairies there is a mountain wonderland. The Canadian Rockies are higher than the Rockies in the United States. British Columbia has a climate much like the climate of southern England. The capital is the charming city of Victoria on Vancouver Island.
Canada is a vast country, with a territory of 3.8 million square miles of land and fresh water it is the second biggest country in the world after Russia. Canada covers most of the northern part of North America. Canada has over 151,480 miles of coastline. Most of Canada's human population lives along its southern border. 3.

centuries. Why Red Dragon? When Arthur's father had seen a dragon in the sky predicting his son would be a king and that happened. Also Dragon shows Welsh fiery, usually in battle with English. Castles: Most of castles were built by Edward I, but that Caerphilly castle was built by Gilbert "The Red" de Claire. He was "The Red" because he was red-headed noubleman. Caerphilly castle is the largest in Wales. The Chepstow castle is the oldest post-roman castle on hole Britain. Lakes: Bala lake is one of the biggest lakes in Wales. There lives friendly monster Teggie. Pistyll Rhaeadr is beautiful and high waterfall in the middle of Wales. It's 80 meters high, also higher than Niagra waterfall. Food & Drinks: Welsh food includes seafood, especially close to the coast, where fishing culture is strong. In left, we see Glamorgan sausage, which is traditional Welsh vegeterian sausage. The main ingredients are cheese (caerphilly cheese), leek and breadcrumbs
Estonian economy. One third of Estonian forests are protected areas. In these protected forests you can come across types of primeval forest cover, which have long ago disappeared from other parts of Europe. Examples of such primeval forests are the Järvselja forest in Tartumaa County and Poruni in Ida- Virumaa County. Meadows in Estonia are rich in different species much more so than in Western Europe. Estonia is a country of thousand of lakes. In the Estonian territory there are about 1200 natural lakes. The largest of these is Lake Peipsi, which is the fourth largest freshwater lake in Europe. Most of Estonia's lakes are small and are found in the south of the country. Larger lakes such as Lake Peipsi and Lake Võrtsjärv are rich in fish. One can find rare species of fish such as the lake whitefish and the Peipsi smelt in Lake Peipsi. Võrtsjärv is famous for its catches of pike-perch and eel, which are regarded as a delicacy.

Much of the rest of Canada is uninhabited or thinly populated, because the country has a rugged terrain and severe climate. Canada extends across the continent of North America, from Newfoundland on the Atlantic coast to British Columbia on the Pacific coast and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Canada shares land borders with the United States to the south and north-west. Canada is a land of great variety. Towering mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and lush, green forests make Canada's far west a beautiful region. Farther inland, fields of wheat and other grains cover Canada's vast prairies. Thes fertile farmlands contrast vividly with the Arctic wastelands to the north. Most of the largest towns and industrial areas lie near the Great Lakes and the St Lawrence River in central Canada. In the east, fishing villages and sandy beaches dot the Atlantic coast
The first from the east are the Rocky Mountains. West of the Rockies lie vast plateaus and tablelands: the volcanic Columbia Plateau, the Great Basin, the Colorado Plateau. Further west is a narrow belt of the Cascade Mountains, and the Sierra Nevada Range Still further west lies an area of valleys. The forests cover 30% of the US. In the southern part of Alaska grow coniferous trees, notably spruces and firs. Around the Great Lakes and New England are mixed forests of pines, maples, elms, birches, oaks and beeches. Along the Gulf of Mexico grow magnolia, red and black gum, cypress and mangrove. Geographical Regions The territory of the United can be divided into eight regions: 1) New England; 2) the Mid-Atlantic region; 3) the South; 4) the Midwest; 5) the Southwest; 6) the Rocky Mountain region; 7) the Pacific Northwest and Alaska; 8) California and Hawaii.
and the Northwest Territories along with all of Canada's Arctic islands. To most canadians this region is quite remote since 75 % of the population lives within 300 km of the US border. The North is home to over 85 000 people, and a great variety of wildlife. It's so cold that the earth is frozen for most of the year and never thaws more than a metre from the surface. This permanently frozen layer of earth is called permafrost. Canada's two million lakes cover about 7,6 % of Canada's land. Canada has very famous lakes called the Great Lakes which includes seven lakes: Lake Huron (which is also the biggest lake of Canada), Lake Great Bear, Lake Superior, Lake Great Slave (also the deepest lake, with a depth of 614 m), Lake Winnipeg, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. They are also the biggest lakes in Canada. The longest river in Canada is the Mackenzie River, which is 4241 km long. It runs through the Nortwest Territories
At the end of his life he was no longer able to carry on his work due to serious lung disease. He also destroyed one part of his invaluable works during hysteric attacks. He died at the age of forty-six in Tartu neural clinic. At the time "Valgjärv" (1916-1917) was painted, the artist painted mostly in South Estonia and in connection with that there occurred a change in his choice of motifs. The former intimate views of a small part of the scenery were replaced by wide panoramas with lakes on the background of distant hills. The "Valgjärv", in which the ultramarine woods and blue lakes from a striking contrast to the reddish hills beaming the heat of summer sun, is one of the most beautiful pictures of that kind landscape. The artist's glance rises from the surface of the earth towards the sky, discerning there, as often as not, another landscape formed of white clouds.
The Baltic Glint is one of the world's most important denudations of Ordovician sedimetary rocks. Half of Estonia is covered with forests and 30 % is covered with wetlands. The areas which are higher and particularly rich in hills are the Haanja and Otepää Uplands in the southeastern part of Estonia. In Haanja Upland there is the highest top of Estonia, Big Egg Hill (318 m), which is the highest top of the Baltic states. There are over 1400 lakes in Estonia. Lake Peipsi, lying between Estonia and Russia, covers 3 555 sq km. It is the biggest in Estonia and the fourth biggest in Europe. The second largest lake is Lake Võrtsjärv (270 sq km), while the deepest id Rõuge Suurjärv (38 m). The longest rivers are the Võhandu (162 km) and Pärnu (144 km). The Emajõgi flows for 101 km and its drainage basin covers 9740 sq km. NATURE CONSERVATION AND PROTECTED AREAS

Loads of fishes are not able to survive in acidic water. There are 2 ways acid rain effects lakes and streams: chronic and episodic. The first one is long-term process and this acidification is result from years of acidic rainfall. Episodic, on the other hand, is rapid change sudden jump in the acidity of water. Acid deposition may influence forest vegetation and soils. It removes soil nutrients such as calcium and magnesium from soils in high elevation forests
Geography New Zealand is an island country in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. It lies about 1600 kilometres southeast of Australia, its nearest continental neighbour. New Zealand belongs to Polynesia, a large island group. The country consists of two main islands The North Island and the South Island and several dozen much smaller islands. The population is 4.1 million. New Zealand is a beautiful country of snowcapped mountains, green lowlands, beaches and many lakes and waterfalls. No place is more than 130 kilometres from the coast. Lakes, rivers, and waterfalls are found throughout New Zealand. Most of the lakes lie in the volcanic plateu of the North Island and in glacial valleys near the Southern Alps of the South Isaland. On both islands the rivers rise in the mountains and flow down to the sea. The rapid flow of New Zealand's rivers makes them important sources of hydroelectric power. New Zealand has hundreds of waterfalls
two territories( the Yukon, the Northwest territories ). The capital city is Ottawa. Canada is a country rich in forests. It borders in the south with The United States and it's surrounded in the west by the Pacific Ocean, in the east by the Atlantic Ocean and above by many smaller bays, but is also borderedd with Alaska in the north-west. To the north of Canada is the broad Canadian Shield, an area of rock scoured clean by the last ice age, thinly soiled, rich in minerals, and dotted with lakes and rivers. Canada by far has more lakes than any other country and has a large amount of the world's freshwater. You can see more lakes in the south eastern part, on the U.S.A's border, including the famous waterfall Niagara Falls. The eastern areas of Canada are occupied by the Saint Lowrence Lowlands. The Saint Lawrence River widens into the world's largest estuary before flowing into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. In northwestern Canada, the Mackenzie River flows from the Great Slave Lake to
but has become more widespread The use of tall smokestacks to reduce local pollution has contributed to the spread of acid rain by releasing gases into regional atmospheric circulation Often deposition occurs a considerable distance downwind of the emissions, with mountainous regions tending to receive the greatest deposition An example of this effect is the low pH of rain which falls in Scandinavia Effects Many ecosystems are affected by acid rain. Bodies of water, such as lakes and rivers, see many of their inhabitants die off due to rising acidity levels. Acidic water also ruins plant nutrients, hurting plants' ability to survive and to give life to other organisms Human-made products are also experiencing degradation from acid rain.

forms of acidic precipitation such as snow. Acidic deposition occurs in two ways: wet and dry. Wet deposition is any form of precipitation that removes acids from the atmosphere and deposits them on the Earth's surface. Dry deposition polluting particles and gases stick to the ground via dust and smoke in the absence of precipitation. This form of deposition is dangerous however because precipitation can eventually wash pollutants into streams, lakes, and rivers. Acidity itself is determined based on the pH level of the water droplets. PH is the scale measuring the amount of acid in the water and liquid. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 with lower pH being more acidic while a high pH is alkaline; seven is neutral. Normal rain water is slightly acidic and has a pH range of 5.3-6.0. Acid deposition is anything below that scale. It is also important to note that the pH scale is logarithmic and each whole number on the scale
of acid rain by releasing gases into regional atmospheric circulation.[11][12] Often deposition occurs a considerable distance downwind of the emissions, with mountainous regions tending to receive the greatest deposition (simply because of their higher rainfall). An example of this effect is the low pH of rain (compared to the local emissions) which falls in Scandinavia. Many ecosystems are affected by acid rain. Bodies of water, such as lakes and rivers, see many of their inhabitants die off due to rising acidity levels. Acidic water also ruins plant nutrients, hurting plants' ability to survive and to give life to other organisms. Human-made products are also experiencing degradation from acid rain.

population in USA. Albany is the capital of New York's state with the municipal population of 96 000. California is the third biggest state with Sacramento as the capital city, but Los Angeles as the largest city. It is followed by Montana with Helena as the capital city and New Mexico (capital city Santa Fe). The states are mainly placed in eight categories New England states, Mid-Atlantic states, Southern states, Great Lakes states, Midwestern states, Southwestern states, Mountain states and the Pacific states. New England states consists of Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts. The Mid-Atlantic states are New York, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and West Virginia. There are a lot more states in Southern states, such as Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Florida, Arkansas, Kentucky, Georgia and Mississippi.
On the east there is another geographical unit called the Applachian Region after the range of mountains which run through the New England states north into Canada. Moving west, we come to the largest region of all, the Canadian Shield. This extends like a huge semi-circular ring around Hudson Bay. It is rugged, stony and with thin soil. Southeast of the Shield is the Valley of the St. Lawrence River which embraces the parts of Quebec and Ontario that lie along that river and Lakes Ontario and Eire.

As a result, its seasons are the opposite of ours. Australia, Tasmania and a number of smaller islands form the Commonwealth of Australia. Because of the country's great size, the climate in Australia ranges from tropical regions of the Northern Territory to the cool temperate conditions in the southeast and Tasmania, where it often snows in winter. In the north, half the year is `wet' and half is `dry'. From November to April heavy rain fills the rivers and makes enormous lakes where thousands of birds come for the summer. From May to October it is often sunny and dry for weeks, and it is a popular place for winter holidays in the sun. In the hot, flat centre of Australia, there is an area called the `outback'. It covers more than two-thirds of Australia, but its population is less than 100,000. In some places, it doesn't rain for years. There are hills and big dry salt lakes, and it is very difficult to grow anything there.
