The Alaskan oil pipeline was built across a caribou migration route. In some places the pipeline has been raised above the ground so the caribou can pass under it. Pesticides have been used to control the hordes of insects. Thousands of migrating birds come to the tundra because of the abundant insects. Through the food chain the pesticides reach many of the animals that live on the tundra. Pollution from mining and drilling for oil has polluted the air, lakes and rivers. The land around some nickel mines in Russia has become so polluted that the plants in the surrounding area have died. Footprints and tire tracks can be visible for many years after they were made. When the sun hits the ruts it causes the permafrost to melt. This causes erosion and the ruts get bigger, and eventually the ruts turn into gullies. Tracks made during World War II have grown so large that some of them are now lakes.

They say that it has made the British both cautious and easily adaptable. Great Britain, consisting of England, Scotland and Wales, is 350 miles across at its widest point and 600 miles long at its longest. It has got beautiful beaches, bays, inlets, cliffs and rocky headlands. England features mostly low hills and plains. Its coastline is 3200 km long. The Pennine Chain splits northern England into western and eastern parts. There are many rivers and lakes (Lake District for example). The whole of England resembles a park in the hands of a skilful landscape gardener. Scotland covers about one-third of Great Britain. It has large areas of untouched and wild landscapes. Britain's highest peak, Ben Nevis (1343 m) lies there. Scotland may be divided into the Lowlands and the Northern Highlands. The Great Glen, cutting across the Highlands, is a string of lochs and canals, including Loch Ness and the deepest lake in the UK Loch Morar

CANADA Canada is a vast country, second largest country of the world after Russia. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and to the Arctic Ocean in the North. Canada Covers most of the northern part of North America and its geography is very diverse. Canada's area is about 10 million square kilometers and its population is 31 000 000. Its capital is Ottowa and other main cities are Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Almost 75 % of canadians lives within 300 kilometer of the USA border, because the climate is softer in the South. 89 % of Canada is almost unhabited. Its official languages are English and French, but many other languages are spoken too. Like Italian, Chinese, German, Polish, Ukrainian, Dutch and Creek. There are also many native languages such as Algonquian. Most of the canadian's speak English (67 %), but French is very...
The borded with Mexico is different. Immigrants are constantly crossing the border illegally. Every day about 2,000 of them are captured and sent back, but may others get through. There are also two states that are not connected to the continental United States. They are Alaska and Hawaii. There are two mountain ranges in the continental Unitet States: the Appalachians in the east and the Rockies in the west. In the very middle of the continent is the Mississippi River. Almost all the rivers between the mountains flow into the Mississippi. Along the border with Canada, there are five big lakes, called ,,the Geat Lakes". Climate Pacific Ocean moderates west coast temperatures. Mild summers, cool winters, much rain on northwest coast. Warm and dry in summer, mild with some rain rest of the year on California coast. Inland Southwest mostly dry with warm summers and cold winters. Warm summers, cold winters, moderate precipitation on northeast and north-central but warmer.
Milestones in Estonian History The Estonians are a Finno-Ugric people who came from the area near the Urals and the Volga and Oka rivers. They migrated westward to the Baltic shores some 5, 000 years ago. In the ninth century A.D. Viking ships invaded Estonia and the country became a vital link in the sea-trade between East and West. By the 12th century, the Arabian geographer al-Idrisi had placed the city on his maps. In the 13th century, Tallinn joined the Hanseatic League, the union of European commercial towns that stretched from London to Novgorod. Pärnu, Viljandi and Tartu were also members.
hear.Hugh Kenner Interesting Fun Facts About Ireland in General Just some general interesting fun facts about Ireland that hopefully will encourage you to further explore our country. Ireland is the third largest island in Europe and the twenty sixth largest island in the world. Ireland has an area of 70,273 sq km (27,133 sq miles) The longest river in Ireland, the Shannon is also the longest river in the British Isles. Ireland is a country of many rivers and lakes, lakes are referred to as loughs (pronounced as locks)e.g. Lough Swilly. Ireland has no snakes. Ireland's constitution guarantees freedom of worship. Famous symbols of Ireland... The harp, also known as the national symbol of Ireland, the Celtic cross, the shamrock and the Irish wolfhound are all well known Irish symbols. Religion... The majority of the Irish population are Roman Catholic (88%). National language... Gaelic is Ireland's national language
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.

rebellion in Prague, later defended it against Crusaders. · Jan Hus (13691415) -- priest, philosopher, reformer; most-important preaching done in Prague. 13 GEOGRAPHY The Czech landscape is exceedingly varied. Bohemia, to the west, consists of a basin drained by the Elbe (Czech: Labe) and the Vltava (or Moldau) rivers, surrounded by mostly low mountains, such as the Krkonose range of the Sudetes. The highest point in the country, Snzka at 1,602 m (5,256 ft), is located here. Moravia, the eastern part of the country, is also quite hilly. It is drained mainly by the Morava River, but it also contains the source of the Oder River (Czech: Odra). Water from the landlocked Czech Republic flows to three different seas: the North Sea, Baltic Sea and Black Sea
The UK & London The United Kingdom (or the UK) is a short way of saying the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Norther Ireland. The UK is situated north-west of the European continent between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. The UK consists of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Its highest point is Ben Nevis in Scotland followed by Snowdon in Wales. The Severn is the longest river in the United Kingdom. Other important rivers are the Trent, the Mersey, the Tyne, etc. Lough Neagh which lies in the centre of Northern Ireland is thr UK's largest freshwater lake. The climate in the UK is variable. The weather changes so frequently that it is difficult to forecast. It is not unusual for people to complain that the weathermen were wrong. Fortunately there is no extreme weather conditions, it is never very cold or very hot. The first inhabitants were Iberians and Celts who settled on the land and were

Lakes The Great Lakes are a group of five large lakes in North America. They are the largest group of fresh water lakes on Earth. They are sometimes called the inland seas. There are: 1. Lake Superior (the largest and deepest) 2. Lake Michigan (the only one entirely in USA) 3. Lake Huron 4. Lake Erie (smallest and most shallow) 5. Lake Ontario (much lower elevation than the rest). The Great Lakes between the USA and Canada are joined together by rivers and canals. The lakes are connected to the Atlantic Ocean by the St. Lawrence River and to the Hudson River by a canal. Between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie is Niagara Falls (51 m). Another large lake in the USA is Great Salt Lake. It is saltier than the sea. Rivers The Mississippi river is the major river of North America and the United States. It flows from north-western Minnesota south to the Gulf of Mexico. It is a significant transportation artery and

She sat on a thorn for 63 years. He reclining years and finally the end of her life were exemplatory of a great personality. Her death was the final event which ended her reign. The nineteenth century was a time of many great inventions and thoughts. The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring up. Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick Raper, which did the work of a hundred men. Samuel Morse invented a code for telepathy. Louis Pastuer discovered a cure for rabbis. Charles Darwin was a naturailst who wrote the "Organ of the Species". Madman Curie discovered radium. And Karl Marx became one of the Marx Brothers. The First World War, cause by the assignation of the Arch-Duck by asurf, ushered in a new error in the anals of human history.
1829-1835 oli Alaskal Vene koloonia ülem ja 1840-1849 Vene-Ameerika Kompanii direktor Ferdinand von Wrangel. Alaska ehk Vene Ameerika ostsid 1867. aastal 7,2 miljoni dollari eest ameeriklased ja seda müüki on Venemaa kibedasti kahetsenud. Venelased kasutasid Alaska nime ainult Alaska poolsaare kohta, USA võttis esialgu kasutusele nime Alaska territoorium. 1880. aastal leiti Juneau' lähedalt, seejärel 1886 ka Forty Mile Rivers ja 1893 Circle'is kulda. Pärast seda kui 1896. aasatl oli leitud kulda ka Kanada alal Klondike'i lähedal Yukon Valleys, jõudsid kullarikkusest kuuldused üle kogu USA ja alanud kullapalavik ahvatles tuhandeid inimesi alaska jäistele aladele. Paljud neist leidsid õnne, kuid ei sugugi vähem ka surma. 1912. aastal sai Alaska USA territooriumi saatuse. Alaska põliselanikud on
people and places) and common nouns (names denoting things in general). Normally, proper names are used without an article (Mary Brown, John Smith; Eastern Europe, America). However, there are many exceptions. The exceptions are: • names of the countries when they include a common noun: the United States of America (the USA), the United Kingdom (the UK), the Republic of Estonia • names of the oceans, seas, rivers and canals: the Atlantic (Ocean), the Indian Ocean, the Amazon, the 6 Mediterranean (Sea), the Thames, the Nile, the Suez Canal • names of people and places when these are in the plural: -people: the Browns (meaning the Brown family) -countries: the Netherlands, the United States (two rules apply here: States is a common noun in the plural) -groups of islands: the Canary Islands, the Bahamas, the British Isles
The southern and central part of Estonia is hillier than the northern and western part. The northern and western parts are quite low. 50% of Estonia is covered with forests and 30% is covered with wetlands. Estonian landscape features numerous meteorite craters. The Endla Nature Reserve in Central Estonia is an uninhabited wetland covered in a variety of vegetation and fauna. It covers seven ancient bogs, zix slow- flowing rivers, five shallow lakes and over 30 springs. Pärnumaa means sun, sean and holidays. Pärnu is the summer capital of Estonia. It is rich in sandy beaches, forests, bogs and marshes. It is in the South-West of Estonia. Its area is about 32 square kilometres. About 45000 people live in Pärnu, 80% of them are Estonians. Pärnu is the 5th biggest city in Estonia. It's an important harbour-city. Pärnu was founded in 1241. It was then known by the German name of Pernau
peak: Ben Nevis 1343 m. Scotland also has a wide lowland are between the Grampians and Southern Uplands, where most of the largest cities and population are located. Much of Wales is also mountainous and in England the Pennine Range extends 224 kilometres. The rest of England tends to be quite bumpy, for not even the large plains of East Anglia are perfectly flat. In Ireland all the highland areas are around the edge, but there are no peaks that surpass the height of one kilometer. The rivers are quite short, the longest being the Severn and the Thames. Their easy navigability has made them an important part of the inland transport network. 5. Population With 57 million people, the UK ranks about fifteenth in the world in terms of population, with England being the most populous part, followed by Scotland, then Wales and finally Northern Ireland. The population increases very slowly and somewhere between the `70s and `80s actually fell
Roman Empire. At that time a Dutch nation did not exist, and the immediate loyalties of the inhabitants were to local lords. Gradually over the next centuries the whole region came to be called the Low Countries, or Netherlands, including present-day Belgium. (3) 7 During the 9th and 10th centuries Scandinavian raiders, called Vikings, frequently invaded the coastal areas, sailing far up the rivers in search of loot. The need for a stronger system of defenses against such marauders gradually led to an increase in the power of the local rulers and their vassals, the nobles, who were largely a warrior class. Concurrently, the towns began to grow in importance, as artisans and merchants settled in them and improved their defenses. The gradual development of powerful towns was a notable feature of Dutch history during the 12th,

position of the islands in the temperate belt; the fact that the prevailing winds blow from the west and south-west and the warm current -- the Gulf Stream that flows from the Gulf of Mexico along the western shores of England. All these features make the climate more moderate, without striking difference between seasons. It is not very cold in winter and never very hot in summer. So, the British ports are ice-free and its rivers are not frozen throughout the year. The weather on the British Isles has a bad reputation. It is very changeable and fickle. The British say that there is a climate in other countries, but we have just weather. If you don't like the weather in England, just wait a few minutes. It rains very often in all seasons in Great Britain. Autumn and winter are the wettest. The sky is usually grey and cold winds blow. On the average, Britain has more than 200 rainy days a year
Great Plains, both with very good soil. To the west of the Great Plains is the Cordillera. It is a region of tremendous variety, which can be subdivided into various other regions. On the eastern border the Rocky Mountains, a high, discontinuous mountains stretching from Alaska down to 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
Temperatures may fluctuate by 20º C; in the early morning the thermometer might read 12ºC and by afternoon it may already be 10ºC. Although it doesn't always snow in winter, there tends to be about 10 cm of snow on the ground consistently from late December through to the beginning of March. The sky over Estonia is cloudy for about half the year, and the hilly southeast region experiences up to 750 mm of precipitation due to Estonia's maritime climate. Nature While seven thousand rivers and streams carry rainwater to the sea, bogs and wooded swamplands of different types cover over one fifth of the country -- a world index topped only by the northern neighbour, Finland. Various kinds of forests comprise slightly under half of Estonia's territory. Wetlands, together with primeval forests, represent preserved communities which have for the most part been destroyed in Europe. More than 1000 lakes (5 per cent of the Estonian territory) dot the

Foreword Bridging rivers, gorges, narrows, straits, and valleys always has played an important role in the history of human settlement. Since ancient times, bridges have been the most visible testimony of the noble craft of engineers. A bridge can be defined in many ways, but Andrea Palladio, the great 16th century Italian architect and engineer, hit on the essence of bridge building when he said "...bridges should befit the spirit of the community by exhibiting commodiousness, firmness, and delight
today Hudson's Bay Company owns and operates retail stores throughout Canada and the United States. Established by Médart Chouart des Groseilliers and Pierre-Esprit Radisson. The two partners traveled far inland in search of furs. They were told about the great supply of beaver in the north near Hudson Bay. Failed to find French support, went to England and interested Prince Rupert, cousin of Charles II. It was given all the land whose rivers drained into the Hudson Bay, which became known as Rupert's Land. HBC was formed in 1670, and was given all the land whose rivers drained into the Hudson Bay, which became known as Rupert's Land. It was the only company allowed to trade fur, they had no competition. It was at one time the largest landowner in the world. 24. Recent political developments in the north in relation to global warming.
into the mountains in the far west, which the Saxons called ,,Wales". Some were driven into Cornwall, where they later accepted the rule of Saxon lords and northward to Strathclyde. Further north lived the Picts and Scots. Some Celts crossed the sea & settled in the north-west of France called Brittany after the Celtic tribes of Britons. The Celts who stayed behind became mostly slaves. Hardly anything is left of the Celtic language or culture in England, except for some names of some rivers (Thames, Avon, Severn) and two large cities London & Leeds. The new conquerors were warlike and illiterate. Disliked towns, preferred to live in small cillages. They destroyed the Roman towns & villas. Beautiful buildings, roads were neglected or broken up. The first settlements were groups of 3 or 4 family farms. Houses were all made of wood & had sloping thatched roofs. Around the settlement was a fence. In time the settlements became villages. Villages were self-sufficient

Evolutsionismi peetakse antropoloogia aluseks. Evolutsionistid pildistasid tööriistu ja järjestati neid arengu järgi. Hiljem inimesi e antropomeetria, reastati inimeste kehad mingite omaduste või mõõtude järgi. 1872. tegeles Eadwerad Muybridge kronofotograafiaga, pildistades esialgu hobuseid, siis alasti inimesi. Kronofotograafiat peetakse etnograafilise filmi aluseks. 1895. sündis esimene film (vennad Lumiere´id). 1898 läks antropoloog A. C. Haddon ja psüholoogia taustaga W. H. R. Rivers Torrese saartele (Austraalia saared). See oli esimene kord kui akadeemikud läksid ise informatsiooni otsima. Tehti 4 min film pärismaalastest. 1901. läksid bioloogia professor W. B. Spencer Austraaliasse uurima arunta hõimu (aborigeenid). Temaga liitus austraalasest amatöör antropoloog F. Gillen. Kasutasid uurimuses ka filmikaamerat. Said kokku 40 min materjali. Spencer tegeles ka algelise montaaziga, viies kaamerat lähemale ja kaugemale.

Railroads covered far less territory. Trains were much smaller. Horse-drawn carts moved food and all other items on land, and barges moved them on rivers. 1881 The steam-powered railway train had become the worldwide standard for passenger travel. 1908 Henry Ford produced the Model T car (Note that the Model T had been designed to use ethanol, gasoline, or any combination of the two fuels). 1920 The Ford Motor Company manufactured the Model T in large numbers. 18 1949-2000 In transportation, use of energy is overwhelmingly petroleum.

Mitte nagu evolutsionismis, et kultuur areneb ühest faasist teise, vaid see, et kultuuride muutumise põhine mehhanism on laenamine teistest ühiskondadest ja selle kaudu ühiskonnad muutuvad ja arenevad. Põhiliselt 3 koolkonda, mis kõik natuke erinevad: 1) Briti e Manchesteri koolkond – Smith, Perry, Rivers. Briti lähenemise idee on selles, et iga kultuurinähtus tekib maailma ajaloos 1 korra ja 1 kohas ja levib sealt üle maailma. Pm radikaalsemas vormis nii, et maailmas on üleüldse 1 kultuurikolle, kus on kultuurinähtused tekkinud ja üle maailma levinud. Nt muistne Egiptus ja sealt edasi levinud. 2) Saksa-Austria koolkond – Ratzel, Graebner, Schmidt. Koolkond pakkus välja kultuuriringide teooria, st kultuurielemendid võivad levida ühest ühiskonnast
TALLINNA ÜLIKOOL Matemaatika ja Loodusteaduste Instituut Loodusteaduste osakond Annely Pruel LAPIMAA Referaat Juhendaja: Lektor Sirje Siska Tallinn 2013 SISUKORD SISSEJUHATUS Lapimaa on Fennoskandia põhja osas asuv ala, mis jaotub nelja riigi vahel: Norra, Rootsi, Soome, Venemaa. Lapimaa on kultuuriliselt määratletud ala. Põliselt on nei aladel elanud jaseda maad omaks pidanud Saami rahvad, kes elatuvad peamiselt põhjapõtrade karjatamisest ja küttimisest. Nii nagu enamus kohtades maailmas ei kuulu aga lapimaa ametlikult riigina saamidele ehk laplastele, vaid erinevatele domineerivatele riikidele. Norras Lapimaad pikka aega nimetatud Finnmarkiks, alles hiljuti hakati seda kutsuma lapimaaks, et meelitada ligi rohkem turiste. Rootsis on Lapimaa ametlikult nimetatud lapimaaks, kuid sellega ei kaasne mingeid juriidilisi õigusi laplastele...
A number of other cities, mainly in central and northern England, are of substantial size and influence. These include: Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle, Sheffield, Bristol, Coventry, Leicester, Nottingham and Hull. England features mostly low hills and plains. the Lake District in the north- west features some of England's most beautiful landscapes, and includes Scafell Pike at 978 m, the highest point of England. There are also some important rivers in England and the most significant ones are Thames, Severn (the longest river in Great Britain) and Avon. The flag of England is a red cross on a white background. It is also on the Union Jack. Scotland is in the northern part of Britain. It covers a little less than 80000 square kilometres and this is about one third of Great Britain. The population of Scotland is about 5 million people. There are three official languages spoken there: English, Scots, Gaelic.
Examples are the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State and the Akosombo Dam in Ghana. * Micro hydro systems are hydroelectric power installations that typically produce up to 100 kW of power. They are often used in water rich areas as a Remote Area Power Supply (RAPS). There are many of these installations around the world, including several delivering around 50 kW in the Solomon Islands. * Damless hydro systems derive kinetic energy from rivers and oceans without using a dam. * Ocean energy describes all the technologies to harness energy from the ocean and the sea: * Marine current power. Similar to tidal stream power, uses the kinetic energy of marine currents * Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) uses the temperature difference between the warmer surface of the ocean and the colder lower recesses. To this end, it employs a cyclic heat engine

above sea level. 4. Land regions The northern coast features a steep limestone bank, the Baltic glint, which is one of the world's most important denudations of Ordovician sedimentary rocks. The glint rises to its highest point (56m) at Ontika. Estonia has over 1,500 islands. The largest of them are Saaremaa, Hiiumaa, Muhu and Vormsi. There are over 1,400 lakes in Estonia, biggest being Lake Peipsi and Lake Võrtsjärv, while the deepest is Rõuge Suurjärv. The two longest rivers are the Võhandu and the Pärnu and the widest is Emajõgi. About 50% of the country is covered by forests while wetlands cover 30%. The landscape of Estonia, through covering a small area, is varied and unique. Lake Peipsi is Estonia's largest lake and Europe's fourth largest freshwater lake. 5. Symbols The flag The Estonian blue-black and white national flag was originally the flag of the Estonian Students' Society and was consecrated in Otepää Church in 1884.

Edasi tuleb Zeusi poolt loodud hõbeajajärk, millele järgneb pronksiajastu. Pronksiajastule järgneb rauaajastu, mis on inimestele kõige halvem ajajärk.

Seda ekspeditsiooni peetakse murranguliseks sündmuseks (süstemaatilisus ja orienteeritus) (Mingi tegelane on Alfred Cort Haddon). Oluline oli, et uurijad läksid ise kohale ja seal uurisid, mitte ei olnud nn tugitooliteoreetikud. Ekspeditsioonil oli kaasas uudne tehniline varustus (saadi fotod ning toimus ning heli lindistamine ja sai taasesitada, viidi läbi psühholoogilisi teste ka).

Formerly, people believed the dolls possessed the power to contain bad spirits. Hinamatsuri traces its origins to an ancient Japanese custom called hina-nagashi (?, lit. "doll floating"), in which straw hina dolls are set afloat on a boat and sent down a river to the sea, supposedly taking troubles or bad spirits with them. The Shimogamo Shrine (part of the Kamo Shrine complex in Kyoto) celebrates the Nagashibina by floating these dolls between the Takano and Kamo Rivers to pray for the safety of children. People have stopped doing this now because of fishermen catching the dolls in their nets. They now send them out to sea, and when the spectators are gone they take the boats out of the water and bring them back to the temple and burn them. The customary drink for the festival is shirozake, a sake made from fermented rice. A colored hina-arare, bite-sized crackers flavored with sugar or soy sauce depending on the region, and

EUROOPA MUINASKULTUURID Arheoloogia mõiste archaios - vana, muistne logos - sõna, kõne, mõistus, käsitlus, teadus Sõna `arheoloogia' kasutas esmakordselt Platon 4. saj. e.m.a. dialoogis "Hippius". Arheoloogia on ajalooteaduste haru, mis uurib muistiseid ja rekonstrueerib nende põhjal ajalugu. Arheoloogia ajalugu Renessanssi ajal olid arheoloogid antiikkunsti uurijad-eksperdid. Ajalugu kui teadus hakkas kujunema valgustusajastul 17.-18. sajandil. Arheoloogia omandas oma tänapäevase mõiste 19. sajandil.

Cola bottles and dollar bills. Some different views should reveal various aspects of the person's character. His works display a delight in the surprise and shock of nonart but he is still rooted in the mechanized, standardized and mass- produced culture. He emphasized the mass-consumer society in which everyone uses the same products. Through this, he may be considered a modern history painter. 7 Subsidiary artists: Larry Rivers, Jasper Johns, Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, Tom Wesselmann, Robert Indiana. Super-Realism. It has also been called Photorealism and Hyperrealism, and draws on photographic sources and commercial advertising for imagery but makes trompe-l'oeil illusion viable again without the fantastic invention or satirical commentary of Pop Art. These artists also considered the work of earlier American art and even C17 Dutch still-life and genre painting. Exemplary artists. Chuck Close (late-C20)
