Geography of Russia World Facts Index Russia Map of Russia CURVING AROUND THE NORTH POLE in a huge arc, Russia (the Russian Federation) spans almost half the globe from east to west and about 4,000 kilometers from north to south. Divided into eleven time zones, Russia is by far the world's largest country. It occupies much of Eastern Europe and northern Asia. The country's terrain is diverse, with extensive stands of forest, numerous mountain ranges, and vast plains. On and below the surface of the land are extensive reserves of natural resources that provide the nation with enormous potential wealth. Russia ranks sixth in the world in population, trailing China, India, the United States, Indonesia, and Brazil. The population is as varied as the terrain. Slavs (Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians) are the most numerous of the more than 100 European and Asiatic nationalities. The Soviet and Russian environmental record has been generally dismal. Seven decades of Soviet rule left irradiated landscapes and marine ecosystems, a desiccated inland sea, befouled rivers, and toxic urban air as reminders of the consequences of seeking industrialization at any price. Russia and the other Soviet republics responded to the pressures of the long and costly Cold War by developing a defense-oriented, production-obsessed economy amid ecological devastation. Without a genuine environmental movement until its final years, the Soviet Union left in its wake an environmental catastrophe that will take decades and perhaps trillions of dollars to repair even partially.

The Hydrologic Cycle The hydrologic cycle is a conceptual model that describes the storage and movement of water between the biosphere atmosphere lithosphere , and the hydrosphere (see Figure 8b-1 ). Water on this planet can be stored in any one of the following reservoirs: atmosphere oceans lakes rivers ... snowfields , and groundwater Figure 8b-1 Hydrologic Cycle. Water moves from one reservoir to another by way of processes like evaporation condensation precipitation deposition ... melting , and groundwater flow . The oceans supply most of the evaporated water found in the atmosphere. Of this evaporated water, only 91 % of it is returned to the ocean basins by way of precipitation. The remaining 9 % is transported to areas over landmasses where climatological factors induce the formation of precipitation. The resulting imbalance between rates of evaporation and precipitation over land and ocean is corrected by runoff and groundwater flow to the oceans. The planetary water supply is dominated by the oceans (see Table 8b-1 ). Approximately 97 % of all the water on the Earth is in the oceans. The other 3 % is held as freshwater in glaciers and icecaps, groundwater, lakes, soil, the atmosphere, and within life.

In this issue Editor's Reverb- On the ... Shapes of Salt of the Earth Will the rapidly shifting composition of the Atlantic Ocean lead to more serious climate changes? By Steven Fick and Jessa Sinclair Oceanographers monitoring the planet’s hydrological cycle believe the delicate equilibrium that keeps the global water system in check is shifting. Armed with 40 years of data, they have recently discovered troubling changes in salt levels in the Atlantic Ocean. The hydrological system constantly recycles water molecules, transporting them from the surface to the atmosphere and back again. Ocean water in the Atlantic evaporates into the warm air near the equator, leaving behind a salty surface. That water vapour is then blown to colder climes by rising air currents, where it falls as rain or snow, freshening polar waters. Powerful ocean currents mix it all, keeping the tropical ocean from getting too salty and the poles from getting too fresh. A recent study of salinity by Canadian, British and American scientists shows that water near the equator is becoming saltier and warmer than normal, while the sub-polar North Atlantic is becoming cooler and fresher (below). With evidence of similar changes in the Mediterranean Sea and the Pacific and Indian oceans, the findings suggest that the hydrological cycle is speeding up, moving faster than the ocean’s compensatory mixing process. The trend appears to have accelerated since 1990. Researchers suggest recent climate changes may be encouraging evaporation of low-latitude waters, which means more water vapour is moving to the poles.

In this issue Editor's Reverb- On the ... Shapes of Making Waves Two centuries of technological advances have allowed underwater pioneers to plumb the depths as never before. Story by Matthew Talbot The ocean is one of Earth's greatest frontiers. Beneath its surface lies a nearly untouched world that few people have been lucky enough to explore. But from deep-sea soundings to submarines, marine technology has advanced so steadily over a period of 200 years that today the ocean is nearly completely open to underwater pioneers. They've been able to determine the age of the sea floor, find the wreck of the Titanic and discover new life forms. SOUNDING OFF Sir James Clark Ross, a British explorer, took the first modern sounding Between 1874 and 1885, the U.S. Coast Survey steamer Blake brought innovations to the field. The ship's crew mapped the Gulf of Mexico using the first piano-wire sounding machine. Theirs was the first accurate map of any part of the deep ocean. They were the first to use steel rope rather than hemp in dredging operations, and the first to use that tapered steel wire to anchor the ship in incredible depths. Today, many scientists use steel wire to lower tools into the ocean, and the Blake's method of deep-sea anchoring is used to moor weather buoys, which warn of approaching storms. After the Titanic sank, in 1912, scientists were driven to find new ways of exploring the underwater world. They discovered the depth of the ocean could be found using electromechanical sounding systems. This research intensified during the First World War as underwater warfare became predominant.

The American frontier is largely gone today. Although humans presumably have the technology to live anywhere on the earth's surface, those areas of the United States that can be occupied with moderate physical and economic effort are already staked out. Extending as far south as the northern Great Lakes states and including the interior to the Canadian border, as well as parts of Alaska, the Northlands ( Map 15 : 19K) remains sparsely settled. The inhospitable nature of the physical environment plus the consequent thinness of settlement give the Northlands its special character. A HARSH ENVIRONMENT Not only are winter temperatures low across most of the region, but winters are long. The average time between the last frost in the spring and the first in the fall is roughly 135 days at the southern margins of the area but little more than 14 days along parts of the Arctic Ocean. Because virtually all major food crops need a growing season of longer than 90 days, they can be grown in only a few small areas along the southern margins. Summers, generally short and cool, can have surprisingly warm days. Maritime moderation is significant only along the peripheries, mainly in the east and west.

Add Dummies General Interest eTips to My Yahoo! My Yahoo! Home ... Beyond the Classroom Going with the Flow in Geography: Ocean Currents Going with the Flow in Geography: Ocean Currents Adapted From: Geography For Dummies The oceans have warm and cold surface currents that act like a global heating and air-conditioning system. They bring significant warmth to high latitude areas that would otherwise be much cooler, and significant coolness to low latitude areas that would otherwise be much warmer. The currents also play a major role in determining the global geography of precipitation. The sun can more easily evaporate warm water than cold water, and thereby produce the atmospheric vapor that results in rain. Therefore, lands that get sideswiped or impacted by warm currents tend to have abundant precipitation in addition to a comparatively warm climate. Conversely, lands impacted by cold currents tend to receive very little precipitation in addition to a comparatively cool climate. Generally, surface currents exhibit circular movements (see Figure 1). North of the equator, the flow is usually clockwise. South of the equator, the flow tends to be counter-clockwise. These movements are principally products of prevailing winds that "push" the ocean's surface. On the map you can see occasional exceptions to the general rules of circulation. They are the results of deflections caused by the angle at which a current strikes a land mass or the continental shelf, or by the direction of prevailing sea level winds at particular latitudes.

In places where water collects important geographic features are formed. Also, the geography of water has an effect on the environment and ecosystem. There are many geographic water features. Salt water features include: lagoons, gulfs. bays, estuaries, fjords, harbors, sounds, seas, and straits. Freshwater features include: coves, creeks, inlets, lagoons, lakes, ponds, reservoirs, rivers, streams, tributaries, and waterfalls. Can you locate some of these water features on a map? Wetlands Wetlands are low laying geographic features where shallow expanses of water collect. Swamps, marshes, bogs, prairie potholes and vernal pools are all wetlands. Wetlands are important ecosystems that support a great diversity of living things. Wetlands are an important natural filter where plants trap sediment, nutrients, and pollutants.
