Lake Tanganyika is an international lake located in central Africa that is shared by four countries. It is estimated to have formed over 10 million years ago and is inhabited. Lake Tanganyika is the fourth largest lake in the world by area and third largest in volume. It is also the second deepest lake globally. Ferry accidents are common on the lake due to overloading of passengers and drunk captains.

Mexico and venezuela location
Mexico and Venezuela both have large coastlines and populations that rely on the sea. They have warm to semi-tropical climates influenced by ocean weather patterns. Oil is now the chief natural resource for both countries, though Venezuela has exploited it more while Mexico works to catch up. Cuba is an island nation in the Caribbean Sea with a warm, mild semi-tropical climate often affected by ocean storms. Brazil is the largest South American country with an extensive Atlantic coastline where most people live, and has a tropical and humid climate along with timber, gold, and petroleum resources.
6 Geographic Regions
Canada has six main geographic regions: 1) Atlantic Canada along the eastern coast known for fishing. Overfishing has caused problems with declining fish populations. 2) Eastern Canada including Quebec and Ontario where most Canadians live in large cities along the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. 3) The Prairie Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and eastern Alberta which are important for agriculture and oil production. 4) The Rocky Mountain Region of western Alberta and eastern British Columbia known for mining industries. 5) The Pacific Coast of British Columbia along the coast with the cities of Vancouver and industries of logging, fishing, and mining, though overfishing is an issue. 6) The Arctic Region including the territories of Yukon, Northwest Territories

High lights of fisheries in Pakistan By Allah dad Khan
Fisheries play an important role in Pakistan's economy and provide livelihoods for coastal communities. In 2014-15, total fish production was estimated at 499,000 metric tons, including 365,000 metric tons from marine fishing and 134,000 metric tons from inland waters. Pakistan's major fish export markets are China, Thailand, Malaysia, the Middle East, Sri Lanka, and Japan. During 2014-15, Pakistan exported over 100,000 metric tons of fish and fishery products, earning $253.6 million. However, both fish exports and earnings decreased slightly compared to the previous year. The government is taking steps to improve the fisheries sector through extension services, new fishing methods, value-added products, and support

The document summarizes the 6 major physical regions of Canada:
1. The Canadian Arctic is located within the Arctic Circle and has jagged mountains and flat snow covered terrain. Glaciers formed much of the landscape. The climate is harsh with below freezing winter temperatures and summer averages of 13°C. Polar bears are at risk of extinction due to shrinking Arctic ice.
2. The Interior Plains is located in western central Canada with hills, forests, and river valleys. It formed from sediments deposited in an ancient sea. It has short, cold winters and hot summers ideal for agriculture like wheat and cattle farming.
3. The Appalachian Highlands are located in northeast Canada with old

Water in Africa by Group2
Water is essential for life but scarce in much of Africa. The continent has diverse hydrology, from vast deserts with only seasonal rivers to huge river systems thousands of miles long. The largest lake is Lake Chad, though it is shrinking due to environmental problems. Most notable is the Nile River, over 6,600 km long. Lack of drinking water is a major issue as much of Africa's water is saline ocean or sea water. Various organizations work to improve access to water in Africa where indicators often exceed acceptable pollution levels.
GLOBAL ISSUES OR WASTE-SIDE STORIES
The document discusses several global environmental issues including hunger, water scarcity, deforestation, desertification, and climate change. Regarding hunger, over 1 billion people are hungry, 16,000 children die daily from hunger, and malnutrition contributes to one-third of child deaths. Water scarcity is exacerbated by population growth and unequal distribution, affecting over 2 billion people without access to clean water. Deforestation rates are high in several countries and contribute significantly to carbon emissions and species loss. Desertification reduces habitable land area as vegetation cover declines. Conflicts over freshwater resources have emerged in many regions.
Water resources in Africa by Group1
The hydrology of Africa is very diverse, with some areas having only sporadic rivers while other areas have large rivers over thousands of kilometers long. Most of Africa's lakes are located in the Great Rift Valley, including some of the continent's largest lakes such as Victoria Lake, Tanganyika Lake, and Lake Nyasa. The majority of rivers in Africa are seasonal and depend on rainfall, with the longest being the Nile River which flows over 6,600 kilometers from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean Sea.
Chapter 18 geography of africa
Africa is a continent of diverse landscapes including rainforests, grasslands, and the Sahara desert. It remained relatively stationary after breaking from the supercontinent Pangaea, unlike other landmasses. A plateau covers much of the continent, keeping most areas above 1,000 feet in elevation. Major rivers like the Nile and Congo provide fertile lands and water resources. Other geographic features include mountains like Kilimanjaro, Victoria Falls, Lake Victoria, and the massive Sahara desert.

While there were historically seven seas, there are now five major oceans. The oceans are economically and ecologically important, providing food/resources for humans while containing millions of undiscovered species. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico released around 185 million gallons of crude oil, causing extensive damage to wildlife and their habitats. The full consequences of the spill may not be understood for years.

Aral Sea | Dead or alive? - a study of the international regulations of the A...Natalya Prilipko, Sustainable MBA
The Aral Sea, once the fourth largest lake in the world, has shrunk to only 10% of its original size due to overuse of water from the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers for irrigation. This has caused an environmental and public health crisis, destroying the fishing industry and contaminating the region with pollutants and diseases from former biological weapons testing sites. While international efforts have sought to address the crisis through projects investing $140 million, the UNEP concluded the Aral Sea cannot be fully restored due to the severity of the environmental degradation and mismanagement of water resources.Congo River
The Congo River is the largest river in Central Africa by length. It flows through the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Republic of Congo and is navigable along most of its length. It has many tributaries and is home to diverse plant and animal life, including over 250 bird species, hippos, manatees, crocodiles, and 200 fish species.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
