Home Military World Colombia ... Overview Geography and Climate Delights from the Garden Of Eden A Cookbook and a History of the Iraqi Cuisine Located in the northwest corner of the South American continent, Colombia encompasses an area of more than 1.1 million square kilometers. It is the only country in South America with both Caribbean (1,760 kilometers) and Pacific coastlines (1,448 kilometers). Colombia also has international borders with five Latin American nations: Panama, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador (see fig. 2). There were no major outstanding international boundary problems between Colombia and its neighbors in the late 1980s. All of the borders had long been delineated, and most had been demarcated by surveys and the placement of markers, although tropical jungle terrain and hostile Indians had impeded survey operations in some areas along the borders with Venezuela and Brazil. Colombia and Venezuela did, however, dispute sovereignty over the seabed in the Golfo de Venezuela, an area of potential petroleum wealth (see Relations with Latin America , ch. 4). In addition to its mainland territory, Colombia possesses a number of small islands in both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The combined areas of all these islands do not exceed sixtyfive square kilometers.

Systems of the Earth (Climate) This sub-organizer contains the following sections: Prescribed Learning Outcomes Suggested Instructional Strategies Suggested Assessment Strategies Recommended Learning Resources PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES It is expected that students will: explain how climatic controls affect climate compare the distribution and characteristics of climatic regions describe how climate influences the nature and distribution of major world biomes evaluate how climate affects human activity evaluate how human activity affects climate, including ozone depletion, global warming, and acid rain SUGGESTED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES Give students climate graphs for a variety of climatic regions around the world. Challenge them to identify the climatic characteristics and controls associated with each region and to explain any variations in climate in similar locations. Have students create and exhibit a map of the world to show the climatic regions. Have each student collect articles and pictures representing climates in different parts of the world and add them to their individual course portfolios. Than ask them to plot the locations on a world map. Ask students to explain how people in different regions have adapted to climate and how they alter climate. Invite students to research various topics (e.g., pollution, ozone depletion, acid rain, global warming), focussing on how people influence and are influenced by climatic change. Ask them to approach this interrelationship from a regional, local, or global perspective.

The Land Previous Next Physical Geography ... Human Geography Albion Basin, Little Cottonwood Canyon Dixie National Forest, Southern Utah P HYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF UTAH Albert L. Fisher Utah History Encyclopedia Location C entrally located in the Intermountain West, Utah is bordered by all of the mountain states except Montana and is often called the "Crossroads of the West." The state's centrality is important to the prosperity of the Wasatch Front, Utah's core area, and particularly to the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. The term "Salt Lake Empire" refers to the large geographical area that comes under considerable economic and/or religious influence from Salt Lake. The empire penetrates significantly into Idaho, Wyoming, and Nevada, somewhat in Arizona, and is not of much consequence in either New Mexico or Colorado. Size At 84,916 square miles or 54,340,240 acres, Utah is the thirteenth largest state in the United States. Approximately three percent of the surface is covered by water. Landforms Rising to 13,528 feet, Kings Peak is the highest spot in Utah, and Beaver Dam Wash in the southwestern corner of the state is the lowest point at 2,350 feet. Only the Uinta Mountains have peaks that exceed 13,000 feet, and there are twenty-four of them that do. Three other mountains systems have peaks that exceed 12,000 feet—the La Sal, Tushar, and Deep Creek Mountains. The highest peak in the Wasatch Mountains, Mount Nebo, is 11,877 feet.
