Scotland is quite mountainous and there is also situated the highest peak in the UK, Ben Nevis. The Scottish Highlands cover the northern part of the country. Here The Northwest Highlands have rocky lunar landscape. South of Scotland is mostly covered with the Grampian Mountains which forms with some other mountains a huge mountain mass. The Central Lowland lie south of the Scottish Highlands. This region is a gently rolling plain. It has best farmland, and richest coal deposits. The Southern Uplands rise gently south of the Central Lowlands. This is a region of rounded, rolling hills. 4.What are the possibilities of land use in Scotland? Tourism in the mountains, there you can ski and climb mountains. In the north there doesn't live much people, so there people raise sheep or go fishing. In the Central Lowlands, people earn living from farming and there is Scotland's richest coal deposit. In the Southern Uplands people graze sheep. 5.Describe the relief of England.

Scotland Scotland · Scotland is a country in the north of Great Britain. It is apart of the United Kingdom. Scotland is divided into three natural regions: the Southern Uplands, the Central Lowlands and the Highlands and islands. A lot of places in Scotland are a natural paradise, still untouched by man. Glasgow · Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and the third largest in the United Kingdom. Before 1750 Glasgow was a small town. It had a cathedral and a university but it was not a rich town. After 1707 Scottish ships could go to the English colonies in America. Ships brought tobacco to Glasgow and took back Scottish goods
called Britannia. Roman invasions and occupations of southern Scotland were a series of brief interludes. In 834 AD the general Gnaeus Julius Agricola defeated the Caledonians at the battle of Mons Graupius, and Roman forts were briefly set along the Gask Ridge close to the Highland line (none are known to have been constructed beyond that line). Three years after the battle the Roman armies had withdrawn to the Southern Uplands. They erected Hadrian's Wall to control tribes on both sides of the wall, and the Limes Britannicus became the northern border of the empire, although the army held the Antonine Wall in the Central Lowlands for two short periods--the last of these during the time of Emperor Septimius Severus from 208 until 210. The extent of Roman military occupation of any significant part of Scotland was limited to a total of about 40
Caledonii. Ptolemy, possibly drawing on earlier sources of information as well as more contemporary accounts from the Agricolan invasion, identified 18 tribes in Scotland in his Geography, but many of the names are obscure and the geography becomes less reliable in the north and west, suggesting early Roman knowledge of these area was confined to observations from the sea. Geography of Scotland ! The geography of Scotland is highly varied, from rural lowlands to barren uplands, and from large cities to uninhabited islands. Located in northwest Europe, Scotland comprises the northern one third of the island of Great Britain and over 790 surrounding islands and archipelagoes. Scotland's only land border is with England, which runs for 96 kilometres (60 mi) in a northeasterly direction from the Solway Firth in the west to the North Sea on the east coast. Separated by the North Channel, the
farms being constructed in coastal counties such as Donegal, Mayo and Antrim. Flora Because of Irelands mild climate , many tropic species such as palm trees grow in Ireland. Much of the land is now covered with pasture(karjamaa) and there are many species of wild-flowers The country has been "invaded" by some grasses, such as Spartina anglica which you can see on the picture. Gorse (Ulex europaeus) is commonly found growing in the uplands, and ferns( sõnajalg) are plentiful in the more moist (niiske) regions, especially in the western parts of Ireland. Transport There are 3 main ways to travel around in Ireland : by plane , by railway or by road . Motorists must drive on the left in Ireland and due to that tourists driving in the wrong side of the road cause many serious accidents every year. The first monorail(üherõõpaline raudtee) was constructed in Ireland. Nowadays the fastest express trains work on same monorail basics
Reconstructions in the 16th and 17th century changed the original looks of the tower considerably. 4. Suur Munamägi ("Big Egg Hill") Mountain Suur Munamägi, or Big Egg Hill, is the highest point in Estonia and other two Baltic countries. It is 318 meters high. The mountain is located in the middle part of Haanja uplands. It is in Haanja national park in Võrumaa. On the top of the mountain there is an observation tower the view from 346,7 meters is 50 km in radius. 5. The Town Hall building 3 The building history of the Town Hall goes back to the 13th century. In its present form it was completed in 1404.
species of native land vertebrates and 1700 species of native insect are found on Galapagos. There are no large mammals, the key herbivores are reptiles, and the top predators are birds and snakes. Mammals on the Galapagos include two species of bat, two endemic rice rat species and its most famous mammals - the Galapagos sea lion and fur seal. There can be identified four broad categories of habitat (the coastal zone, the dry lowlands, a transition zone and the moist uplands), each with its distinctive species. Lava Cactus: One of the first plants to colonize a new lava field, the Lava Cactus is found on barren black lava flows Iguanas on the Galapagos are either land or marine iguanas. Both are about the same size, growing up to about 1.5m, have stocky heads, a ridge of spiny scales along the neck and backbones. Land iguanas are lighter in color, tan to dark brown, and have shorter scales on the backbone. Land iguanas are inland, lesser in number, and feed on

5 degrees Celsius. The average temperature in February, the coldest month of the year, is negative 5.2 degrees Celsius. The average temperature in July, which is considered the warmest month of the year, is 17 degrees Celsius. Estonia is located in a humid zone in which the amount of precipitation outnumbers total evaporation. There are about 160 to 180 rainy days a year, and average precipitation is biggest on the western slopes of the Sakala and Haanja Uplands. Snow cover, which is deepest in the south-eastern part of Estonia, usually lasts from mid-December to late March. Flora and fauna. Estonia is a small country and areas of unspoiled nature are very rare. Our plants and animals have been developing only for 10000 years, since the last Ice Age, and they are not represented in a great variety. Once Estonia was almost totally covered with forests. In the middle of the 20 th

Relief Great Britain is about 1000 km long an in its widest part about 500 km across. The mountainous part of the country is Scotland. There are many highlands with high mountains and deep valleys. The highest peak is Ben Nevis 1343m high. In Scotland there is also a wide lowland area just between the two uplands. This is the part where many big towns are situated, including Edinburgh and Glasgow. More than three quarters of Scotland's population live in that area. A big part of Wales is also mountainous and in England the Pennine Range which is also called as the backbone of England because of its location. The rest of the country is rather undulating and not even the large agricultural plains in East Anglia are perfectly flat.

The climate is also influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, the North- Atlantic Stream and the Icelandic Minimum, which is an area known for the formation of cyclones and where the average air pressure is lower than in neighbouring areas. Estonia is located in a humid zone in which the amount of precipitation outnumbers total evaporation. There are about 160 to 180 rainy days a year, and average precipitation is biggest on the western slopes of the Sakala and Haanja Uplands. Snow cover, which is deepest in the south-eastern part of Estonia, usually lasts from mid-December to late March. Economy of Estonia As a member of the European Union, Estonia is part of the world's largest economic zone. In 1999, Estonia experienced its worst year economically since it regained independence in 1991, largely because of the impact of the August 1998 Russian financial crisis. Estonia joined the WTO in November 1999
been born in Wales, was made Prince of Wales. So the tradition of giving the title `Prince(ess) of Wales' to the heir of the British Monarch continues to the present day. 4. Relief The island is just under a thousand kilometers long and under five hundred kilometers wide. The most mountainous region is of course Scotland with its highland and highest 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.

Ice Age. The hilly terrain was also shaped by the continental ice and melting waters. The land still rises 25 cm in every 100 years. Kalevipoeg, the national hero, is related to many features of the relief. 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
The relief of the present-day landscape was shaped during the Ice Age. Ice sheet has carried large boulders and limestone blocks here, not to mention that the hilly terrain in Estonia was also shaped by the continental ice and the melting water. The land is rising 25 cm every one hundred years. In folklore, many features of the relief are explained by the activities of giants such as the legendary national hero Kalevipoeg. The Haanja and Otepää Uplands are particularly rich in Hills. It is here that You find Big Egg Hill, the highest point in the Baltic states with 318 metres 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
