THE YELLOW RIVER
The Yellow River or Huang He / Hwang Ho is the second-longest river in China (after the Yangtze River) and the sixth-longest in the world at the estimated length of 5,464�kilometers (3,395�mi). Originating in the Bayan Har Mountains in Qinghai Province in western China, it flows through nine provinces of China and empties into the Bohai Sea. The Yellow River is called "the cradle of Chinese civilization", as its basin is the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilizations and was the most prosperous region

The Black Sea has an area of 436,400 km2 (168,500 sq�mi) (not including the Sea of Azov),a maximum depth of 2,206�m (7,238�ft), and a volume of 547,000 km3 (131,200 cu�mi).The Black Sea forms in an east-west trending elliptical depression which lies between Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine.
THE DEAD SEA
DEAD SEA SUNSET
The Dead Sea also called the Salt Sea, is a salt lakebordering Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. Its surface and shores are 423�metres (1,388�ft) below sea level, the lowest elevation on the Earth`s surface on dry land. The Dead Sea is 377�m (1,237�ft) deep, the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. With 33.7% salinity, it is also one of the world`s saltiest bodies of water. It is 8.6 times saltier than the ocean.This salinity makes for a harsh environment in which animals cannot flourish, hence its name. The Dead Sea is 67�kilometres (42�mi) long and 18�kilometres (11�mi) wide at its widest point. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River. The Dead Sea has attracted visitors from around the Mediterranean basin for thousands of years.
Greenland is the largest island in the world. Its northerly location, at the point where the Atlantic meets the Arctic Ocean, means that Greenland is surrounded principally by cold ocean currents, so the coasts are constantly being cooled. This, combined with the radiation of cold from the inland ice, gives Greenland its arctic climate.
The ice cap or inland ice covers 1,833,900 square km, equivalent to 85 percent of Greenland`s total area, and extends 2,500 km (1,553 miles) from north to south and up to 1,000 km from east to west.
At its center, the ice can be up to 3 km thick, representing 10 percent of the world`s total fresh water reserves.If all the ice were to melt, the world`s oceans would rise seven meters.
People have lived on Greenland for about 5, 000 years, the earliest belonging to what are called the Independence I , Saqqaq, and Independence II cultures. They migrated from North America, used stone tools, and were the first to successfully adapt to the island`s severe conditions. Today, 80 percent of the island`s people are Inuit; the rest are Danish.
