GEOGRAPHY
Part 1 of 16
  • A hamlet is a village without a church and a town is not a city until it has a cathedral.
  • About one-tenth of the earth's surface is permanently covered with ice.
  • According to National Geographic, Mt. Everest grows about 4 millimeters a year: the two tectonic plates of Asia and India, which collided millions of years ago to form the Himalayas, continue to press against each other, causing the Himalyan peaks to grow slightly each year
  • Alaska and California, with 8 each, are the US states with the most national park sites.
  • All gondolas in Venice, Italy must be painted black, unless they belong to a high official.



    • Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.
    Benjamin Disraeli

    Warren G. Harding 1923-1929



    I am the black child of a white father, a wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven. I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me, even though there is no cause for grief, and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air.

    Who am I?



    Better a broken promise than none at all.



    It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen.
    Brigitte Bardot
