[Hum-Our-Tum] Geography Facts - Really Very Informative...

World Geography Facts -
Really Very Informative...
Alaska
More than half of the coastline of the entire United States is in Alaska .
Amazon
The Amazon rainforest produces more than 20%
Of the world's oxygen supply.
The Amazon River pushes so much water into the Atlantic Ocean that,
more than one hundred miles at sea off the mouth of the river,
one can dip fresh water out of the ocean. The volume of water
in the Amazon river is greater than the next eight largest rivers
in the world combined and three times the flow of all rivers
in the United States .
Antarctica
Antarctica is the only land on our planet that is not owned
by any country.. Ninety percent of the world's ice covers Antarctica.
This ice also represents seventy percent of all the fresh water in the world.
As strange as it sounds, however, Antarctica is essentially a desert;
The average yearly total precipitation is about two inches.
Although covered with ice (all but 0.4% of it, ice.),
Antarctica is the driest place on the planet, With an absolute
humidity lower than the Gobi desert.
Brazil
Brazil got its name from the nut, not the other way around.
Canada
Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world combined.
Canada is an Indian word meaning ' Big Village '.
Chicago
Next to Warsaw , Chicago has the largest Polish population
In the world.
Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, carries the designation M-1,
So named because it was the first paved road anywhere.
Damascus , Syria
Damascus, Syria, was flourishing a couple of thousand years
Before Rome was founded in 753 BC, Making it the oldest continuously
inhabited city in existence.
Istanbul , Turkey
Istanbul, Turkey, is the only city in the world Located on two continents.
Los Angeles
Los Angeles ' full name is:
El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula
-- and can be abbreviated to 3.63% of its size: L.A.
New York City
The term 'The Big Apple' was coined By touring jazz musicians of the 1930s
Who used the slang expression 'apple' for any town or city.
Therefore, to play New York City Is to play the big time - The Big Apple.
There are more Irish in New York City Than in Dublin , Ireland ;
More Italians in New York City Than in Rome , Italy ;
And more Jews in New York City Than in Tel Aviv , Israel .
There are no natural lakes in the state of Ohio , every one is manmade.
Pitcairn Island:
The smallest island with country status is Pitcairn In Polynesia ,
at just 1.75 sq. Miles/4,53 sq. Km.
Rome
The first city to reach a population of 1 million people Was Rome ,
Italy in 133 B.C. There is a city called Rome on every continent.
Siberia
Siberia contains more than 25% of the world's forests.
S.M.O.M.
The actual smallest sovereign entity in the world Is
the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (S.M.O.M). It is located
in the city of Rome , Italy , Has an area of two tennis courts
And, as of 2001, has a population of 80 -- 20 less people than
the Vatican .. It is a sovereign entity under international law,
Just as the Vatican is.
Sahara Desert
In the Sahara Desert , there is a town named Tidikelt , Algeria ,
Which did not receive a drop of rain for ten years.
Technically though, the driest place on Earth is in the valleys
of the Antarctic near Ross Island . There has been no rainfall there
for two million years.
Spain
Spain literally means 'the land of rabbits'.
St. Paul , Minnesota
St. Paul , Minnesota , was originally called Pig's Eye after a man
named Pierre 'Pig's Eye' Parrant who set up the first business there.
Roads
Chances that a road is unpaved:
in the U.S.A.. = 1%;
in Canada = ...75%
Russia
The deepest hole ever drilled by man is the Kola Superdeep Borehole,
in Russia . It reached a depth of 12,261 meters (about 40,226 feet
or 7.62 miles). It was drilled for scientific research and
gave up some unexpected discoveries, one of which was a huge
deposit of hydrogen - so massive that the mud coming from the hole
was boiling with it.
United States
The Eisenhower interstate system requires that one mile in
every five must be straight.
These straight sections are usable
as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.
Waterfalls
The water of Angel Falls (the world's highest) in Venezuela
drops 3,212 feet (979 meters).
They are 15 times higher than Niagara Falls .
I have always said, you should learn something new every day.
Unfortunately, many of us are at that age where what we learn today,
we forget tomorrow. But, give it a shot anyway.
