Climate And General Tourist And Travel Information About The Geograpy Of Austria climatic regions East Pannonian climate with a continental influence – low precipitation,hot summers but only moderately cold winters. General geography http://www.destinationplanner.com/europe/austria/climate_and_geography.html

Travel to Austria with Cosmos Creative Climate Austria is located in a temperate climatic zone with a Central European climate influenced by the Atlantic climate. The four seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter) each have typical temperature and climatic characters. Due to the topographical diversity and the relatively large West-East expanse, there are three differentiating climatic regions: East: Pannonian climate with a continental influence – low precipitation, hot summers but only moderately cold winters. General Geography Area: 83,858 km2 Austria is located in southern Central Europe. It has common borders with Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The Austrian landscape points to a rich natural structure: High and central mountain regions, hill country and plains. The Alpine region (Eastern Alps, High Tauern, Carnican Alps, Southern Karawank mountains and parts of the Southern Alps) stretches from the West to the South to the Vienna Basin, and takes up approximately two thirds of the country's surface area. The western part of the country is mountainous while the east is hill country and flatlands which stretch to the Pannonian Plain in northern Burgenland. The highest mountain is the Grossglockner with 3,797 m, the major river is the Danube with an approximate length of 350 km in the Austrian area.

Visa and Immigration Geography and Climate Canada is a vast nation stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and spanning a quarter of the world's time zones. Second in size only to the former Soviet Union, Canada's landscape is constantly changing with every variety of climatic regions represented except for tropical jungles and extensive deserts. Occupying the northern half of the North American continent, Canada has a land mass of 9,970,610 square kilometres. To the south, Canada shares an 8,892 kilometre boundary with the United States. To the north, the Arctic islands come within 800 kilometres of the North Pole. Canada's neighbour across the Arctic Ocean is Russia. The geography of Canada can be divided into seven distinct regions, each with a very different landscape and climate. To the west is the Pacific Coast with a coastline indented by deep fiords. It is bathed by warm, moist pacific air currents making it the most moderate climate of Canada's regions. Cities in this region enjoy comfortable and relatively dry summers and mild, wet winters. From British Columbia to just east of the Alberta border, the Cordillera is a region with rugged mountains, high plateaus and deep valleys. The area receives heavy amounts of precipitation (rain at lower altitudes and snow at higher ones). The valleys between the mountains receive much less precipitation and experience warm summers.

GEOGRAPHY INTERNET PROJECT The following Geography project is being undertaken by my students in September 1998. I am actively looking for other teachers in different Global climatic regions to duplicate the same project which will effectively be a study of your own local area, with a detailed case study of a specific aspect of Agriculture/Industry typical of your area. The following are the general headings under which the project could be studied. 1.Location (Longitude/Latitude) 2.Your Climatic type 3.Natural Flora and Fauna 4.Agriculture 5.Industry 6.Any other local items of interest CASE STUDY Due to the mild moist climate in Ireland I have chosen as our Case Study a typical Dairy farm.( photograph on this page was taken only a few hundred yards from the school) This being the main economic activity in our local area. I would intend to include a visit (field trip) to the chosen farm with the students. Digital photographs would be taken to illustrate points made in their written work and later on used in the web site. PRESENTATION 1. Each student will be expected to complete a project folder.

GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS AND COURSES OF INSTRUCTION GEOGRAPHY (GEO) Students wishing to earn a master's degree in geography have the option of selecting either a M.A. or M.S. degree. While the core requirements are the same for both degrees, the M.S. degree requires that the student obtain a minor in the College of Science and take an additional statistics course. The M.S. option allows students to specialize in a more technical/science-based program leading to employment in environmental planning, computer cartography, GIS/remote sensing, conservation, or physical geography. Both degree options prepare the graduate for advanced work at the doctoral level. By tailoring the program to the specific needs of the individual student, offering a flexible curriculum, and keeping our offerings updated with changes in the field and the job market, many of our students secure employment as professional geographers before graduation. Graduates of the program include urban and regional planners, cartographers, environmental specialists, economic development consultants, city/county government workers, and international trade consultants, just to name a few. The undergraduate prerequisite for a graduate major is 12 semester hours of geography. For undergraduate social science majors three semester hours of work in another field closely related to geography may be accepted toward meeting the 12-hour admission requirement.

ZACATECAS - Geography - Zacatecas is situated in northern Mexico and has eight neighbors; Aguascalientes, Coahuila, Durango, Guanajuato, San Luis Potosí, Jalisco, Nayarit and Nuevo León. It covers an area of 73,103 square kilometers and is therefore Mexico's eighth largest state. Just as our country is divided into states, so each state is divided into smaller sections known as municipalities. The state of Zacatecas has 56 municipalities Do you know which are the main factors affecting the climate? POPULATION: The dry climate of the semi-desert zone. These factors include the temperature, winds and rain. In Zacatecas, some places are colder than others. There are also regions with abundant rainfall, while others have little rain. Likewise, some places are windier than others. For all of these reasons, it could be said that Zacatecas has four different climatic regions:
