ZACATECAS - Geography - Zacatecas is situated in northern Mexico and has eight neighbors; Aguascalientes, Coahuila, Durango, Guanajuato, San Luis Potosí, Jalisco, Nayarit and Nuevo León. It covers an area of 73,103 square kilometers and is therefore Mexico's eighth largest state. Just as our country is divided into states, so each state is divided into smaller sections known as municipalities. The state of Zacatecas has 56 municipalities Do you know which are the main factors affecting the climate? POPULATION: The dry climate of the semi-desert zone. These factors include the temperature, winds and rain. In Zacatecas, some places are colder than others. There are also regions with abundant rainfall, while others have little rain. Likewise, some places are windier than others. For all of these reasons, it could be said that Zacatecas has four different climatic regions:

63. 'Climate Of The Region' Three basic climatic regions can be distinguished in Antarctica. The interior ischaracterized by extreme cold and light snowfall; the coastal areas are http://ireland.iol.ie/south-aris/climate.htm

Climate Antarctica is the coldest continent. The lowest temperature ever recorded anywhere on earth, -88.3° C (-126.9° F), was on August 24, 1960, at Vostok Station. The continent is also buffeted by heavy winds. In the interior, winds as high as 320 km/h (200 mph) have been recorded. These winds flow downslope from the interior toward the coast and, combined with the low temperatures, create dangerous wind-chill conditions. Three basic climatic regions can be distinguished in Antarctica. The interior is characterized by extreme cold and light snowfall; the coastal areas are characterized by somewhat milder temperatures and much higher precipitation rates; and the Antarctic Peninsula is characterized by a warmer and wetter climate, with above-freezing temperatures common. Antarctica can be classified as a true desert; in the interior the average annual precipitation (in water) is only about 50 mm (about 2 in). Raging blizzards often occur, however, when winds pick up previously deposited snow and move it from place to place. Annual precipitation is much heavier along the coast, amounting to about 380 mm (about 15 in) in water. Here, heavy snowfalls occur when cyclonic storms pick up moisture from the surrounding seas; this moisture freezes and is deposited as snow over the coastal areas. Along the Antarctic Peninsula, especially the northern end, rain is as common as snow. The interior of Antarctica has almost continuous daylight during the southern hemisphere's summer and darkness during the southern hemisphere's winter. In coastal areas, which are farther north, long periods of sunshine occur during the summer, but sunrises and sunsets occur during much of the rest of the year.

Geography Angola is situated in the western region of southern Africa. Its territory is composed of a coast of 1.650 Km and 4.837 Km of land frontier. Angola is bordered to the north and north-east by the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia to the south east while Namibia accounts for the southern border. The maximum north south length of the territory is 1,277 km and the maximum width from west to east is 1,236 km. The country can be divided into six geomorphologic zones, namely: The coastal zone, The marginal mountain chain The old table land The Zaire basin The Cubango basin The Zambeze basin The basin occupy some 60% of the territory characterized by inland tablelands and by the relief of Atlantic Talude that comes down in the form of stareis to the ocean. About 65% of the territory is situated at an altitude of between 1000-1600 meters. One finds the highest peaks in the central region, namely the Moco Hill (2,620m) and the Meco Hill (2,538m) situated in Huambo Province. There are five major rivers in Angola, namely the rivers Zaire, Kwanza, Cunene, Cubango and Queve.

COUNTRY STUDIES Afghanistan - GEOGRAPHY Afghanistan - GEOGRAPHY Afghanistan Afghanistan's rugged terrain and seasonally harsh climate have not deterred foreign invaders who coveted this land or sought to cross it on the road to further conquests. The history of Afghanistan is replete with tales of invasion. Yet the rugged landscape combined with the fiercely independent spirit of the Afghan people have seriously impeded and often repulsed would-be conquerors. Afghanistan resembles an irregularly shaped hanging leaf with the Wakhan Corridor and the Pamir Knot as its stem in the northeast. Situated between 29 35' and 38 40' north latitude and 60 31' and 75 00' east latitude, it encompasses approximately 652,290 square kilometers, roughly the size of Texas, stretching 1,240 kilometers from east to west and 565 kilometers from north to south. Afghanistan is completely landlocked, bordered by Iran to the west (925 kilometers), by the Central Asian States of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan to the north and northeast (2,380 kilometers), by China at the easternmost top of the Wakhan Corridor (96 kilometers), and by Pakistan to the east and south (2,432 kilometers). Mountains Rivers Regions Climate Afghanistan Afghanistan - Mountains Afghanistan Mountains dominate the landscape, forming a terrigenous skeleton, traversing the center of the country, running generally in a northeast-southwest direction. More than 49 percent of the total land area lies above 2,000 meters. Although geographers differ on the division of these mountains into systems, they agree that the Hindukush system, the most important, is the westernmost extension of the Pamir Mountains, the Karakorum Mountains, and the Himalayas.

COUNTRY STUDIES Nepal - GEOGRAPHY Nepal - Geography Nepal The Land For a small country, Nepal has great physical diversity, ranging from the Tarai Plainthe northern rim of the Gangetic Plain situated at about 300 meters above sea level in the southto the almost 8,800-meter-high Mount Everest, locally known as Sagarmatha (its Nepali name), in the north. From the lowland Tarai belt, landforms rise in successive hill and mountain ranges, including the stupendous rampart of the towering Himalayas, ultimately reaching the Tibetan Plateau beyond the Inner Himalayas. This rise in elevation is punctuated by valleys situated between mountain ranges. Within this maze of mountains, hills, ridges, and low valleys, elevational (altitudinal) changes rersulted in ecological variations. Nepal commonly is divided into three broad physiographic areas: the Mountain Region, the Hill Region, and the Tarai Region. All three parallel each other, from east to west, as continuous ecological belts, occasionally bisected by the country's river systems. These ecological regions were divided by the government into development sectors within the framework of regional development planning. The rhythm of life in Nepal, as in most other parts of monsoonal Asia, is intricately yet intrinsically intertwined with its physical environment. As scholar Barry Bishop learned from his field research in the Karnali region in the northwest, the livelihood patterns of Nepal are inseparable from the environment.

Thematic maps General summary Near East Region Geography, climate and population Because of the aridity prevailing in the region, the Near East is the poorest region in the world in terms of water resources, globally and per inhabitant, even when considering the contribution of rivers flowing from the bordering and more humid regions of tropical Africa (the Nile) or Himalayan Asia (the Indus). However, the water resources distribution within this vast area, extending over three continents, is far from being uniform: land relief, location with respect to the sea, latitude and resulting hydro-climatic conditions, diversity in hydrographic and geological structures, and matching or mismatching of the river basins with the national territories, all give rise to extremely different water situations. Many countries in the region are characterized by long coastal boundaries. The coasts are located on the North Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. In addition, several important interior seas can be found in the region: the Black Sea to the north of Turkey, the Caspian Sea to the north of Iran and to the west of Turkmenistan and the Dead Sea to the west of Jordan. The Aral Sea is not bordering the Near East region, but the northern part of Central Asia is located within the Aral Sea basin. Only three countries, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, are landlocked.

Thematic maps General summary Asia Geography, climate and population The total area of the region is about 20.4 million km², which is 15 percent of the total land area of the world (Table 1). China and India together represent about 63 percent of this area. The population of Asia is predominantly rural: about 67 percent of the total, compared to 54 percent for the world as a whole. This percentage rises to 70 percent if Japan and the Republic of Korea are excluded (the two countries where industry predominates and the rural population is only 21 percent). This reflects the importance of agriculture in countries where the contribution of the agricultural sector to the GDP is almost 30 percent, and where the percentage of the economically active population engaged in agriculture is about 62 percent. The population density in the Asian countries was estimated in 1996 at 149 inhabitants/km², compared to an average of 43 inhabitants/km² for the world as a whole. The highest population densities are in Maldives and Bangladesh with 878 and 834 inhabitants/km² respectively, while the lowest densities are in Mongolia and Papua New Guinea with 2 and 10 inhabitants/km² respectively. Indian subcontinent The sub-region experiences a tropical monsoon climate, with significant seasonal variations in rainfall and temperature. About 80 percent of the total precipitation occurs during the monsoon period. The climatic year includes two monsoon periods: the southwest monsoon (June to September) concentrating most of the rainfall, and the northeast monsoon (November to March), relatively light compared to the southwest monsoon. The highest temperatures are registered during the dry season (generally from March to May) with 43

This S-shaped part of the isthmus is situated between 7° and 10° north latitude and 77° and 83° west longitude. Slightly smaller than South Carolina, Panama encompasses approximately 77,082 square kilometers, is 772 kilometers in length, and is between 60 and 177 kilometers in width (see fig. 1 Panama's two coastlines are referred to as the Caribbean (or Atlantic) and Pacific, rather than the north and south coasts. To the east is Colombia and to the west Costa Rica. Because of the location and contour of the country, directions expressed in terms of the compass are often surprising. For example, a transit of the Panama Canal from the Pacific to the Caribbean involves travel not to the east but to the northwest, and in Panama City the sunrise is to the east over the Pacific. The country is divided into nine provinces, plus the Comarca de San Blas, which for statistical purposes is treated as part of Colón Province in most official documents. The provincial borders have not changed since they were determined at independence in 1903. The provinces are divided into districts, which in turn are subdivided into sections called
