Geography

The largest island in Asia is Borneo.

Lake Baikal and the surrounding area were incorporated into Russia around the 17th century.

It is located 80 kilometers south of the highest volcano of the Cascade Arc, Mount Rainier.

The water of the lake is highly alkaline, the pH varies in the range of 7.5 - 9.2 as well as a fairly high carbonate hardness of 7-11 °n.

Missouri River is the longest one in Montana.

Boreal forests are estimated to store twice as much chemically pure carbon per unit area as tropical forests.

Greenland is a mountainous country.

Mount Pinatubo was dormant for approximately 500 years prior to the climatic eruption in 1991.

Mount Vesuvius is a stratovolcano.

The waters in Malawi Lake practically do not mix, so we can distinguish between the aerobic zone (near the surface) and the anaerobic zone (closer to the bottom).
