... or is very dry and hilly, and on the northwest border of China there is a huge, cold desert called the Gobi. Because of this, the north-west part of China was extre-mely less populated. Alot of the features of China have kept itself isolated so they have really evulutioned all by itself without much outeside activity. Chinas history did not really have (or mention) leaders, it really just mentioned dynesties. Chinas had three dynasties. The first of which was the Xia (2,000 b.c. to 1,500 b.c.) except for ancient legions one really doesn't know much about the Xia rulers.

... American Flag is the symbol of our support to the nation. "1847" is the year the Mormon Pioneer entered the Salt Lake Valley. "1896" is the year Utah was admitted as the 45th state (January 4, 1896). Emblem and Motto The Beehive and word "industry" became the official motto and emblem for Utah on March 4, 1959. Industry is associated with the symbol of the beehive. The early pioneers had few material resources at their disposal and therefore had to rely on their own "industry" to survive. The beehive was chosen as the emblem for the provisional State of Deseret in 1848 and was maintained along with the word "industry" on the seal and f ...

... and the Indians of the past. These routes, which flowed through the only passable areas of the Rockies, naturally led to Oregon and California, which caused an increase in the population of these regions at the time. These trails, such as the Oregon Trail to the north, the Mormon and Spanish Trail to the south, and the California and Overland trails in between were very rough and bumpy, making the trek no easy task. On the home front, the environment played an important role on the family life as well.. Women had a more prominent role in society as we shifted from the urbanized east to the more agrarian west. They were expected to do more than they did in th ...

St. Helens surroundings heard a big boom, Mt. St. Helens had just blew off her top! On May 18,1980, Mt. St. Helens awakened from a short nap. There had been lots of little earthquakes before the eruption. The ash in the eruption reached speeds of 200 miles a hour. Mt. St. Helens was 9,677 feet high before the eruption, after the eruption it was 8,364 feet high. Sixty people died in the eruption. 230 square miles of timber lay dead and burnt on the ground!

... the world had sympathy for the Jewish people, at that time. Along with this sympathy the world had expectations that the Jewish people would be better, morally, than the other nations of the world. As a result, Israel is often put under a figurative microscope and each and every thing she does is analyzed. For many years people only said the nicest things about Israel, but that has changed, recently. Many people think that one of the reasons for this change is because of the power the Arabs have as a result of their oil and money. Since 1948 Israel has had to deal with regular wars waged by its Arab neighbors, with one of the highest taxat ...

... 8,000 square miles. That makes Thailand 25 times bigger than Massachusetts. The entire United States, however, is about 3.6 million square miles or 450 times bigger than Thailand. Thailand's population is 57,200,000 people. The population of the United States is 260,000,000 people. That means that the United States has 4 1/2 times more people than Thailand. Thailand's population density is 285 people per square mile. The population density of the United States is 72.22 people per square mile. Thailand, even though it has a much smaller population and land area than the United States, has a much greater population density. The population of Massachusetts is ...

... Korea, South Korea is relatively poor in mineral resources. The principal resources are coal (mostly anthracite), iron ore, and graphite. Other minerals include gold, silver, copper, lead, tungsten, zinc, and uranium. Reserves of natural gas have been discovered offshore. These minute resources are not as depended upon by the people of South Korea as in the North. The north is heavy in mining these resources because they have a large surplus of them, and the north is not; they have moved on and found other economical niches. The population of South Korea (1995 estimate) is about 45,182,000 people. The country's estimated population density of 1188 per s ...

... deep inside the ground, the lethal material probably wouldn't get far without the help of water. Opponents led by Nevada Nuclear Projects Agency Director, Bob Loux say the danger is twofold - rain water flowing into the repository from above, and water being pushed up from an aquifer 300 feet below by an earthquake. He says there is crystalline evidence in the rocks at the repository level that indicates hot geothermal water from below has been there before and, therefore, could return. DOE mining engineers says those crystalline forms are more likely the result of minute amounts of water migrating from above over thousands of years. The issue was raised by a former ...

... infinitely varied mosaic, but none of those cultures rose to imperial power. The European colonizers forged empires here, often by playing one state off against another; the Europeans divided and ruled.” These Colonial Powers extracted resources from these countries and utilized the natives as a source of cheap labor. Consequently, when the Europeans ended their colonial reign over Southeast Asia, the countries in this realm were left with little or no industry of their own. When the colonial powers freed Southeast Asia they constructed borders that were not beneficial, or would have naturally occurred, in this realm. For instance, it is improbable that witho ...
