Die grootste kenmerk van die bodemtopografie van die Atlantiese Oseaan is 'n groot onderwater bergreeks genaamd die Middel-Atlantiese Rif. Dit strek vanaf Ysland in die noorde tot ongeveer 58° suid breedteligging, en bereik 'n maksimumwydte van ongeveer 1600 km (1000 myl). 'n Groot rifvallei loop langs die rif vir meeste van sy lengte. Die waterdiepte bo-oor die rif is minder as 2700m (8900 voet) in meeste plekke, en verskeie bergspitse verrys bó die water en vorm eilande. Die Suid-Atlantiese Oseaan het 'n verdere onderwater-rif, genaamd die Walvisrif.
Die Middel-Atlantiese Rif skei die Atlantiese Oseaan in twee groot trôe, met dieptes wat gemiddeld tussen 3600 en 5485m (12,000 en 18,000 voet) is. Dwarsriwwe wat loop tussen die vastelande en die Middel-Atlantiese Rif breek die oseaanvloer op in verskeie komme. Sommige van die groter komme sluit die Guiana, Noord-Amerikaanse, Kaap Verde en Kanariese komme in die Noord-Atlantiese oseaan in. Die grootste Suid-Atlantiese komme is die Angola, Kaapse, Argentina en Brasilië-komme.
Die diep oseaanvloer is bedenklik plat, alhoewel verskeie seeberge en 'n paar guyote bestaan. Verskeie dieptes of trôe word ook gevind in die oseaanvloer: Die Puerto Rico Trog, in die Noord-Atlantiese oseaan, is die diepste. In die Suid-Atlantiese oseaan bereik die Suid-Sandwich Trog 'n diepte van 8428m (27,651 voet). 'n Derde groot trog, die Romanche Trog, is te vinde naby die ewenaar en bereik 'n diepte van sowat 7760m (24,455 voet). Die plate langs die rande van die vastelande vorm sowat 11% van die bodemtopografie. Verder sny 'n aantal diep kanale dwarsoor die kontinentale verrysing.

Oseaansedimente bestaan uitr terrigene, pelagiese en authigenic materiale. Terrigene depositos bestaan uit sand, modder en klipdele wat deur erosie, verwering en vulkaniese aktiwiteit op land gevorm word, en dan see toe gespoel word. Hierdie materiale word grootliks gevind op die kontinentale plate, en is die dikste by groot riviermonde of langs woestynkuste. Pelagiese depositos, wat die oorblyfsels van organismes wat na die oseaanvloer gesink het bevat, sluit rooi kleie en Globigerina, pteropod, and siliceous oozes in. Hulle beslaan meeste van die oseaanvloer en wissel in dikte van 60m (200 voet) tot 3300m (10,900 voet), en is die dikste in die convergence belts en in sones van upwelling. Authigenic depositos bestaan uit materiale soos mangaanklonte, en kom voor waar sedimentasie stadig vorder, of seestrome die depositos sorteer.
Watereienskappe
Die soutgehalte van oppervlakwater in die oop oseaan wissel van 33 tot 37 dele per duisend, en wissel met breedteligging en seisoen. Alhoewel die minimum soutgrade net noord van die ewenaar gevind word, word die laagste waardes in die algemeen by hoë breedteliggings en langs kuste met groot riviermonde gevind. Maksimum southeid word gekry by sowat 25° noord breedteligging. Die oppervlak se southeid word deur verdamping, neerslag, rivierinvloeie en die smelt van see-ys beïnvloed.
Die watertemperatuur by die oppervlak, wat ook met breedteligging, stromingstelsel en seisoen wissel, vertoon die breedteverspreiding van sonenergie, en wissel van minder as 2° tot 29°C (28° tot 84°F). Maksimumtemperature kom noord van die ewenaar voor, en minimumwaardes wat in die poolstreke gevind. In die middel-breedteliggings, die streek met die grootste temperatuurwisselings, kan waardes wissel tussen 7 tot 8°C (12.6 tot 14.4°F).
Die Atlantiese Oseaan bestaan uit vier groot watermassas. Die Noord- en Suid-Atlantiese sentrale waters maak die oppervlakwaters uit. Die sub-Antarktiese tussenwater strek tot dieptes van 1000m (3300 voet), en die Noord-Atlantiese diepwater strek só ver as 4000m (13,200 voet). Die Antarktiese bodemwater beslaan oseaankomme by dieptes groter as 4000m (13,200 voet).
As gevolg van Corioliskragte sirkuleer water in die Noord-Atlantiese oseaan kloksgewys, waar water anti-kloksgewys in die Suide sirkuleer. Die Suidelike getye in die oseaan is halfdaagliks; d.w.s., twee hooggetye kom binne elke 24 maanure voor. Die getye is 'n algemene golf wat van die suide na die noorde bewees. In breedteliggings bó 40° noord kom oos-wes ossilasie voor.
Klimaat
The climate of the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent land areas is influenced by the temperatures of the surface waters and water currents as well as the winds blowing across the waters. Because of the oceans' great capacity for retaining heat, maritime climates are moderate and free of extreme seasonal variations. Precipitation can be approximated from coastal weather data and air temperature from the water temperatures. The oceans are the major source of the atmospheric moisture that is obtained through evaporation. Climatic zones vary with latitude; the warmest climatic zones stretch across the Atlantic north of the equator. The coldest zones are in the high latitudes, with the coldest regions corresponding to the areas covered by sea ice. Ocean currents contribute to climatic control by transporting warm and cold waters to other regions. Adjacent land areas are affected by the winds that are cooled or warmed when blowing over these currents. The Gulf Stream, for example, warms the atmosphere of the British Isles and northwestern Europe, and the cold water currents contribute to heavy fog off the coast of northeastern Canada (the Grand Banks area) and the northwestern coast of Africa. In general, winds tend to transport moisture and warm or cool air over land areas. Hurricanes develop in the southern part of the North Atlantic Ocean.
History and Economy
The Atlantic Ocean appears to be the youngest of the world's oceans. Evidence indicates that it did not exist prior to 100 million years ago, when the continents that formed from the breakup of the ancestral supercontinent, Pangaea, were being rafted apart by the process of seafloor spreading. The Atlantic has been extensively explored since the earliest settlements were established along its shores. The Vikings, Portuguese, and Christopher Columbus were the most famous among its early explorers. After Columbus, European exploration rapidly accelerated, and many new trade routes were established. As a result, the Atlantic became and remains the major artery between Europe and the Americas (known as transatlantic trade). Numerous scientific explorations have been undertaken, including those by the German Meteor expedition, Columbia University's Lamont Geological Observatory, and the U.S. Navy Hydrographic Office.
The ocean has also contributed significantly to the development and economy of the countries around it. Besides its major "transatlantic" transportation and communication routes, the Atlantic offers abundant petroleum deposits in the sedimentary rocks of the continental shelves and the world's richest fishing resources, especially in the waters covering the shelves. The major species of fish caught are cod, haddock, hake, herring, and mackerel. The most productive areas include the Grand Banks off Newfoundland, the shelf area off Nova Scotia, Georges Bank off Cape Cod, the Bahama Banks, the waters around Iceland, the Irish Sea, the Dogger bank of the North Sea, and the Falkland Banks. Eel, lobster, and whales have also been taken in great quantities. All these factors, taken together, tremendously enhance the Atlantic's great commercial value. Because of the threats to the ocean environment presented by oil spills, plastic debris, and the incineration of toxic wastes at sea, various international treaties exist to reduce some forms of pollution.
- In 1919, the American NC-4 became the first airplane to cross the Atlantic (though it made a couple landings on islands along the way).
- Later in 1919, a British airplane piloted by two men named Alcock and Brown made the first non-stop transatlantic flight from Newfoundland to Ireland.
- In 1921, the British were the first to cross the Atlantic in an airship.
- In 1927, Charles Lindbergh made the first solo non-stop transatlantic flight in an airplane (between New York City and Paris).
- After rowing for 81 days and 2,962 miles, on December 3, 1999Tori Murden became the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean by rowboat alone when she reached Guadeloupe from the Canary Islands.

Die aarde is die planeet waarop ons lewe. Dit is die derde planeet van die son af en wentel binne
'n jaar daarom. Die aarde draai een keer per dag om sy eie as. Twee derdes van die oppervlak
is met water bedek en die res met land. Die aarde het 'n satelliet, die maan, wat elke 27.32 dae om die aarde wentel. Die aarde se ouderdom word op vier biljoen jaar geskat.
Die afstand vanaf die ewenaar tot by die pool is omtrent tienduisend kilometer.
Die algemeenste element in die aarde se kors is silikon. Die kern van die aarde is waarskynlik van gesmelte yster. Die aarde het 'n magneetveld, wat die energieke partikels van die sonwind afweer.
Daar is 'n osoonlaag hoog bo die aarde wat skadelike sonstrale afskerm.
Die oppervlakte van die aarde is verdeel in oseane, vastelande en eilande. Dit is ook verdeel in lande,
waarvan Rusland die grootste is. Die hoogste berg is die Berg Everest,
die diepste deel is die Mariana-skeurvallei. Die droogste plek is die
Acama woestyn in Suid-Amerika, en die natste is Cherrapoenji in Indië,
die koudste is Antarktika.

Afrika is die wêreld se tweede grootste kontinent (na Asië) in sowel oppervlakte as bevolking. Saam met die eilande beslaan dit ongeveer 30 244 050 km2 wat 20.3% van die totale landoppervlakte van die aarde is en dit word bewoon deur meer as 800 miljoen mense - ongeveer 'n sewende van die wêreldbevolking.
Die meter (simbool: m) is die SI-basiseenheid van lengte. Dit word gedefinieer as die lengte van die pad wat lig in 'n absolute vakuum in 'n tydsinterval van 1 / 299 792 248 van 'n sekonde.
Deur 'n SI-voorvoegsel voor die meter te voeg kan veelvoude en breukdele aangedui word; byvoorbeeld kilometer (1000 meter; kilo- = 1000) en nanometer (een miljardste van 'n meter; nano- = 1 / 1 000 000 000).
Die woord self is afkomstig vanaf die Franse woord mètre wat op sy beurt afkomstig is vanaf die Griekse woord metron (μετρον), wat "'n mate" beteken.
In die agtiende eeu was daar by voorkeur twee benaderings tot die definisie van die standaard eenheid van lengte. Een voorstel was om die meter as die lengte van 'n pendulum met 'n periode van een sekonde. Die ander voorstel was om 'n meter as 'n tien miljoenste van die lengte van 'n kwadrant van die aarde se meridiaan te definieer. In 1791 het die Franse akademie vir wetenskap die meridionale definisie bo die pendulum-definisie aanvaar vanweë die effense veranderinge in swaartekrag oor die aardoppervlak wat dan die periode van die pendulum beïnvloed. In 1793 het Frankryk die meter met hierdie definisie as hul amptelike eenheid vir lengte aanvaar. Al is dit later vasgestel dat die eerste prototipe meterstaaf te kort was met 'n vyfde van 'n millimeter vanweë 'n berekeningsfout wat die mate waartoe die aarde afwyk van 'n sfeer (afplatting by die pole), is hierdie lengte as standaard aanvaar. Die omtrek van die Aarde deur die pole is dus ongeveer veertig miljoen meter.
Aarde-spektrum mate as basis aanvaar het. In 1983 is die definisie verander na 'n verband tussen die spoed van lig in 'n vakuum en 'n sekere tydsinterval.]]
In die 1870s en in die lig van meer akkurate meettegnologie is 'n reeks internasionale konferensies gehou om 'n nuwe metriese standaard daar te stel. Die Meter Konvensie (Convention du Mètre) van 1875 het 'n mandaat uitgereik vir die daarstel van 'n permanente Internasionale Buro van Mates en Gewigte (BIPM: Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) wat te Sèvres, Frankryk geleë is. Hierdie nuwe organisasie sou die nuwe prototipe meter en kilogram huisves wanneer dit vervaardig is en ook die nasionale metriese prototipes versprei en sou ook vergelykings tussen hulle en nie-metriese standaarde op 'n deurlopende grondslag doen.
Hierdie organisasie het 'n nuwe prototipe staaf in 1889 vervaardig by die eerste Algemene Konferensie oor Mates en Gewigte (CGPM: Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures), wat die Internasionale Prototipe Meter as die afstand tussen twee lyne op 'n standaardstaaf van 'n legering bestaande uit 90% platinum en 10% iridium soos gemeet by die smeltpunt van ys.
In 1893 is die standaardmeter vir die eerste keer met behulp van 'n interferometer deur Albert. A. Michelson gemeet, die uitvinder van die toestel en voorsntander van die gebruik van 'n besondere golflengte van lig as 'n standaard mate vir afstand. Teen 1925 was interforometrie in algemene gebruik by die BIPM. Die Internasionale Prototipe Meter het egter die standaard gebly tot in 1960, toe die elfde CGPM die meter volgens die nuwe SI-stelsel gedefinieër het as gelykstaande aan 1 650 763.73 golflengtes van die oranje-rooiemissielyn in die elektromagnetiese spektrum van krypton-86 atome in 'n vakuum. Die oorspronklike prototipe van die meter word steeds by die BIPM gehou onder dieselfde toestande wat in 1889 gespesifiseer is.
Om verder onsekerheid uit die weg te ruim het die sewentiende CGPM van 1983 die definisie vervang tot sy huidige een en daarmee die lengte van die meter in terme van tyd en die spoed van lig uitgedruk:
:Die meter is die padlengte wat lig aflê in 'n vakuum tydens 'n tydsinterval van 1 /299 792 458 van 'n sekonde.
Neem kennis dat hierdie definisie die spoed van lig in 'n vakuum teen presies 299 792 459 meter vasstel. Definisies gebaseer op die fisiese eienskappe van lig is meer presies en reproduseerbaar omdat die eienskappe van lig as universeel konstant beskou word.

Een myl is 'n afstand van 5280 voet, 1760 jaard, 1609,344 meter. Op see ('n seemyl) is een myl gelyk aan 1852 meter.
Die oorsprong van die myl is die Romeinse myl, "mille passus" (pl.: milia passuum). Dit was duisend pas (van dieselfde voet, dus eintlik twee duisend); totaal ongeveer 1479 meter.

Verenigde State
Die Verenigde State van Amerika (V.S.A.), ook genoem die Verenigde State (V.S.), Amerika 1, is 'n federale republiek in Noord Amerika en die Stille Oseaan (die eilande van Hawaii, en die Aleutians). Dit strek vanaf die Atlantiese kus in die ooste tot die Stille Oseaan in die Weste. Dit deel landsgrense met Kanada in die noorde and Meksiko in die suide, en deel 'n marinegrens met Rusland in die weste en besit 'n aantal distrikte en gebiede rondom die wêreld, insluitende Puerto Rico, Midway Eiland, en Guam. Die land het vyftig state, wat 'n vlak van autonomiteit het. 'n Amerikaanse burger word gewoonlik 'n Amerikaner genoem.1.

Hoofartikel: Ekonomie van die Verenigde State
Die ekonomie van die Verenigde State is gebaseer op die Kapitalistiese model en word gekenmerk deur 'n konstante groei, lae werksloosheid en inflasie, 'n groot begrotings tekort en vinnige vooruitgang in tegnologie. Sy ekonomie word beskou as die belangrikste in die wereld. Verskeie ander lande het hulle geld eenhede gekoppel aan die dollar, of gebruik dit selfs as 'n geldeenheid. Die V.S. effekte beurs word beskou as 'n aanduiding van die wereld ekonomie.
Die land het ryk minerale hulpbronne, met heelwat goud, olie, steenkool en uraan. In landbou is die V.S.A. een van die vernaamste verskaffers van mielies, koring, suiker en tabak. Die V.S.A. industrië vervaardig motorkarre, vliegtuie en elektronika. Die grootste sektor is diens industrië, en omtrent 'n driekwart van die V.S. inwonders werk in hierdie sektor.
Die grootste handelsvennoot van die Verenigde State is sy noordelike buurstaat Kanada. Ander belangrike handelsvennote is Meksiko, die Europese Unie en ander industriële lande in Asië, soos Japan, Indië, Suid-Korea en Sjina.
Geografie
Hoofartikel: Geografie van die Verenigde State
Met die wêreld se derde grootste nasie (totale area), het die Verenigde State 'n baie wiselende landskap: gematigde woudland op die ooskus, mangrovewoude in Florida, die Great Plains in die middel van die land, die Mississippi-Missouri rivierstelsel, die Rocky Mountains wes van die vlaktes, woestyne en gematigde kus areas wes van die Rocky Mountains en reenwoude in die noord-weste. Die vulkaniese eilande van Hawaii en die pool-gebiede van Alaska maak die geografiese diversiteit net nog groter.
Singapore first reservoir is MacRitchie reservoir which was built by the British in 1867. Subsequently, as Singapore developed into a modern city over the years, more sources of water were needed to sustain the city’s growth. Thus two local reservoirs were added to the rapidly modernising colonial city.
After independence, the Public Utilities Board took over the control of basic supplies including water. From then on, there are many developments and improvement to increase the water supply for Singapore.
The 1960s and 1970s saw great development for Singapore. In order to maintain that, many big water projects were embarked to increase the water supply. Examples of these projects included the Kranji-Pandan Scheme, the Upper Pierce Project and the Western Catchment Water Scheme.
Modern Singapore sources her water from a network of reservoirs and water catchment areas. By 2001, there are 19 raw water reservoirs, 9 treatment works and 14 storage or service reservoirs locally to serve domestic needs.
There is also a proposal to construct a dam to build a Marina Bay reservoir at the estuary of three Singapore rivers, creating a huge freshwater reservoir by 2009. When developed, this will increase the rainfall catchment to two-thirds of the country's surface area.
Imported water supply
For decades, Singapore has relied on import from Malaysia to supply half of the water consumption in Singapore. However the two water agreements that supply Singapore this water are due to expire by 201 and 2061 respectively and the two countries are engaged in a dispute on the price of water. Without a current resolution, the government of Singapore decided to increase self-sufficiency in its water supply.
Water recycle
2061]]
NEWater is the brand name given to reclaimed water produced by Singapore's public utilities. More specifically, it is treated wastewater (sewage) that has been purified using dual-membrane (via microfiltration and reverse osmosis) and ultraviolet technologies, in addition to conventional water treatment processes.
There are three NEWater factories, located at the Bedok, Kranji Water Reclamation Plants, and Seletar Water Reclamation Plant, producing about 20 million US gallons per day (0.9 m³/s). About 6% of this is used for indirect potable use, which contributes 1 % of Singapore's potable water requirements of 300 million US gallons per day (13 m³/s). The rest of the water is used at wafer fabrication plants and other non-potable applications in industries.
A fourth recycling plant will open in Ulu Pandan at the end of 2006 which will more than double the capacity of the three existing recycling plants. At that time, most of the industrial use will be catered by NEWater.
Desalination
On 13 September2005, the country opened its first desalination plant by SingSpring, a fully-owned subsidiary of Hyflux. The plant, located at Tuas, produces 30 million gallons of water (136,380 m³) each day. The plant, worth S$200 million, is one of the biggest in the world and meet 10 percent of the country's water needs. [http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/168052/1/.html] The plant also produces bottled water called the Desal H2O.
At the desalination plant, sea water is forced through plastic membranes with microscopic pores to extract dissolved salts. Silt is removed by dousing the seawater with chemicals that coagulate the particles.
Coinciding with the official opening of the desalination plant, the International Desalination Association (IDA) held its 6-day World Congress in Singapore. About six hundred experts and delegates attended the congress to discuss about desalination and water reuse. [http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/167726/1/.html ] Several experts suggested that Singapore could become the world's water hub for water recycling and desalination technology and could export this technology to the world including China. [http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/168211/1/.html] Dr Masaru Kurihara, director of IDA, said that with the new technology in water reclamation, waste water would become the most important sustainable water resource in the future.
Conservation
There has also been campaigns to urge people to conserve water, aiming to reduce consumption 161 litres per day per person to 155 litres and suggested methods include spending one minute less in the shower.
