Notes:
The deepest mine in the world, is in South Africa. It is about 4 km. deep. In search for oil, engineers have dug a hole about 6 km. deep.

Notes:
In geology, a nappe or thrust sheet is a large sheet like body of rock that has been moved more than 2 km or 5 km from its original position by faulting or folding. They form when a mass of rock is forced (or “thrust”) over another rock mass, typically on a low angle fault plane. The resulting structure may include large-scale recumbent folds, shearing along the fault plane.

Notes:
The troposphere is the lowest portion of Earth’s atmosphere. It contains approximately 80% of the atmosphere’s mass and 99% of its water vapor and aerosols. The average depth of the troposphere is approximately 17 km in the middle latitudes. It is deeper in the tropics, up to 20 km, and shallower near the Polar Regions, at 7 km in summer, and indistinct in winter. Most of the phenomena we associate with day-to-day weather occur in the troposphere..

Notes:
A topographic map is a type of map characterized by large-scale detail and quantitative representation of relief, usually using contour lines in modern mapping, but historically using a variety of methods. A topographic map is typically published as a map series, made up of two or more map sheets that combine to form the whole map.

Notes:
Most of the credit for making drip irrigation what it is today goes to Israel and South Africa where it is most efficiently used. As with most water-scarce countries, Israel has seen first hand how efficient irrigation methods and strategic water reuse can help ensure sustainable, reliable agricultural production.

Notes:
