Topography
The natural landscape within the UK consists of a mainly flat land area. With the majority of England included in the flat land mass the major cities are populated close to the edge of the country or on the side of a national river to allow easy transport and access. In England we have a few higher peaks than sea level as the Pennines run through the north of the country from the east of the Cumbrian Mountains down to the south of the country just outside Manchester. In the rest of England there are smaller peaks of hills/mountains which are:-
* Cumbrian Mountains * North York Moors * Cotswald Hills
* Chiltern Hills * Salisbury Plain * North Downs
In Wales we have the Cambrian Mountains as there is a great deal of high ground in the country. As Wales is dominated by a mountains they also have a high number of sporting resorts within the mountainous regions. They can provide skiing at some of the highest points of the peaks and there are many outdoor activity resorts that can provide:-
* rock climbing
* absailing
* rafting
* hiking
* mountain climbing
The USA is divided into so many states with so many regions of mountainous areas that they find it hard to identify particular regions because of their similarity with other regions from around the world. The majority of the USA is suspended above sea level apart from the following states:-
* Florida * Georgia * North Carolina * Alabama * Mississippi
These are mainly because the sea is level with the states. Florida has a great deal of Everglades to its name as Florida is the main attraction to the states. Although Georgia on a topographical map seems like it is raised much higher above sea level most of it you can see that it falls into same natural specifications as Florida. For that reason there are the Appalachain Mountains where they are used for a wide variety of activities such as in Wales but with a more distinct approach to outdoor activities so it is easy to see how citizens use these mountains as a way for recreational activities. The western USA also is very much desecrated by the deserts of the US. Some states like Colorado, Nevada, Utah and Nevada have a wide range of mountains and high ground raised at least 2000 meters above sea level as these areas provide the most western world ski resorts in the US. For this they are able to provide skiing all year round because of such a high altitude area.
Climate
The Climate of the world varies a great deal. Rainfall over the majority of the world is under the section of under 25mm of rainfall per year which includes other forms of precipitation. This mainly applies to countries above the equator. South of the equator they range from 50mm to over 400mm of rainfall each year including other precipitation that falls within that year.
The temperatures within the world are as follows:-
* Above the tropic of cancer the temperatures range from 24 degrees Celsius to -24 degrees Celsius in the Northern Artic Circle.
* Below the Tropic of Cancer the variable temperatures range from 24 degrees Celsius to about 8 degrees Celsius. In South America there are two small briar patches where temperatures drop to zero or below freezing point. This main stretch is known as the Andes and there is also another region in Southern Argentina covered by a high land mass of mountainous regions.
Japan has a wide ranged layout of its country with various differences. For a start the whole country is covered by so many high hills/mountain that living costs a lot having to live in the centre of the cities. Tokyo which is the capital of Japan is around 8 million in 1995 but this will now have probably have reached much higher rates by the year 2000.
Culture
The world has many different cultures and backgrounds within the world. Despite the USA and the UK which have varied cultures within one nation. On the other hand there are places like:-
* Japan * China * India * Egypt
These have a vast cultural history for possessing hidden powers. Japan is a well built nation but relies on their cultural history for their day to day life. Japan have various ways of worshipping their religion as they believe in goddess like beings as they have many mythical features in their history. India is one of the main countries on the globe that has very high cultural and spiritual beliefs. Their society is based round one of the most religious cultures on the globe. They worship many different beings and gods. Their religion is made up of 80% Hindu, 11% Muslim with Sikh, Christian and Buddhist minorities.
