· The Richat structure (Sahara, Mauritania) appears as a large dome at least 40 km in diameter within a Late Proterozoic to Or- dovician sequence. · This natural phenomenon is actually a Richat structure caused by the dome shaped symmetrical uplifting of underlying geology now made visible by millennia of erosion. Socotra island · is a small archipelago of four islands in the India Ocean. The largest island, also called Socotra, is about 95% of the landmass of the archipelago. It lies some 240 kilometres (150 mi) east of the Horn of Africa and 380 kilometres (240 mi) south of the Arabian Peninsula. The island is very isolated and through the process of speciation, a third of its plant life is found nowhere else on the planet. It has been described as the most alien- looking place on Earth. Socotra isaland( flora and fauna) · 307 out of the 825 (37%) plant species on Socotra are endemic.

Third level Fourth level Fifth level Bermuda (officially, the Bermuda Islands or the Somers Isles) is a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean Located off the east coast of the United States, it is situated around 1,770 kilometres northeast of Miami, Florida, and 1,350 kilometres south of Halifax , Nova Scotia, Canada. The nearest landmass is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, about 1,030 kilometres west-northwest. It is the oldest and most populous remaining British overseas territory, settled by England a century before the Acts of Union created the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Bermuda's first capital, St. George's, was settled in 1612 and is the oldest continuously inhabited English town in the Americas.

in the Southern Hemisphere comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Australia flag Australia coat of arms. Australia is a cloudless dark blue sky, the bright sun, multikilometer beaches with snowwhite sand and ocean up to horizon. Australia's landmass of 7,617,930 square kilometers is on the IndoAustralian Plate. Surrounded by the Indian and Pacific oceans, it is separated from Asia by the Arafura and Timor seas. It the sixth largest country in area after Russia, Canada, China, the United States and Brazil. It is the flattest and (after Antarctica) the driest of continents, yet it has extremes of There are rainforests and vast plains in the north, snowfields in the
Vital waterways for people and wildlife..............................................................................................10 2 Introduction If you were asked to show on a world map the regions with the most biodiversity, your finger would probably end up pointing at the Amazon, the Congo Basin or the island of Borneo. But I chose New Guinea, an island that represents no more than 1% of the world's landmass, an array of extraordinary animals and plants have also flourished, such as tree kangaroos and birds of paradise. Close to 10% of the world's vertebrates are concentrated here, while 7% of the world's higher (vascular) plants grow on the island's productive soils. 3 Geography Papua New Guinea consists of over 600 islands and lies in the middle of the long chain of islands stretching from mainland South-East Asia. The mainland and larger
Flag Names: The Stars and Stripes, Old Glory, The Starry Banner Seal: Great Seal of the United States Flag Seal Geography America consists of 50 states. 48 of them are on North American continent and 2 of them (Alaska and Hawaii) are separated. Alaska is separated by Canada and Hawaii lies in the Pacific Ocean. America shares borders with Canada, Mexico and Russia. According to different sources American landmass is from 9,522,055 km2 to 9,826,630 km2 which makes it the third or fourth largest country in the world. America is surrounded by three oceans Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and Arctic Ocean. It's also bounded with Gulf of Mexico and Bering Strait. The highest point in America is Mount McKinley (6,194 m) in Alaska. The lowest point is Death Valley which lies 86 metres below sea level. The Great Basin Desert is the largest desert in America. Missouri river is the longest river in the States
Mexico. The western edge of the Cordillera is described by high mountains. The most important ranges are the Sierra Nevada and the Cascades. The U.S has several long rivers, mostly located in the eastern part of the country. The longest is the Missouri (~4,000 km), a tributary of the Mississippi. The tributaries of Mississippi-the Ohio and the Tennessee are also very long. Climate Every type of climate can be found in the United States due to the tremendous size of the North American landmass. Most of the country has a humid continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. Because of the lack of the natural barriers in south and north, dry air flows south from Canada, and warm, humid air north from the Gulf of Mexico. The Great Plains and Midwest have spectacular weather, with hot and humid summers. The rainfall decreases to the west due to rain shadow caused by Sierra Nevada. The southwest part of the Great Plains is the hottest and driest region of the U.S
Erie and Ontario, is famous all over the world and attract lots of tourists. The waters of the Five Great Lakes have their outlet into the Atlantic Ocean by the St. Lawrence River, flowing mostly across the territory of Canada. Climate Almost every type of climate can be found in America, because it's very big. It's arctic in Alaska and tropical in Florida. The climate is not usually temperate, in spite of the latitude. The North American landmass heightens the variations in temperature and rainfall. Most of the country has a moist continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. There are no natural barriers either in the north or in the south. This allows dry and cold air flow in from Canada and warm, humid from the Gulf of Mexico. In this region summers are very hot and humid and rainfall decreases to the west as a result of the rain shadow created by the West Pacific range and the Sierra Nevada. The Pacific coast is
