There are many hydro-electric power-stations on them. Over 800 rivers cross the continental (48) states. Most are small branches and/or tributaries of larger rivers. 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. History For thousands of years America was unknown to Europe. In 1492 Christopher Columbus discovered it while trying to reach India. He didn't stay and in the sixteenth century the first Europeans to settle in America were the Spanish, the English and the French. The first village founded by the English settlers was in Virginia in 1607. It was called Jamestown. In 1620 a new group of British settlers reached Plymouth,

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 when combined with its major tributaries (the Missouri and the Ohio rivers) it becomes the third largest river system in the world (at 6,236 km). The western tributaries are the Red River, the Arkansas and the Missouri. The eastern tributaries are the Tennessee and the Ohio
If the blood volume is increased then venous return of blood to the heart will increase, thus stroke volume will increase, thus cardiac output will increase and the blood pressure will rise. Therefore, blood pressure can be controlled by controlling blood volume. Plasma, the liquid portion of blood, is part of the extracellular fluid (ECF). If the kidneys retain water, then the volume of the ECF rises and blood volume rises. If the kidneys retain salt (NaCl), then the ECF becomes saltier and thus capable of retaining more water (water follows solute). Higher ECF volume leads to higher blood volume and thus higher blood pressure. Vereliikumise joonkiirus, õpik lk 62 - – kiirus, mis mõõdetakse cm/s või m/s.
