Geography/Expert Profile
Expertise
I don't know anything about multi-purpose river projects, Indian tourism or lumbering in Canada. If you ask, you'll be immediately rejected. I`m a bit of a self-taught expert, as I have traveled throughout most of the world on deployments with the US Navy. I`ve set foot on every continent with the exception of South America and Antarctica. I also seem to have a very good memory when it comes to remembering trivial items such as the capitols of smaller countries. Although Geography comes under the "Homework Help" category by default, I don't answer homework questions. It's YOUR homework, YOU do the research.
Experience in the area
Just a lifetime of experience traveling around the world.
Education/Credentials
B.A. Degree, Chaminade University of Honolulu, Summa cum Laude.
What do you like about this subject?
I enjoy visiting different cultures and learning about them

I'm not a meteorologist. Please keep that in mind. Having said that, I don't think the rain is any more intense over water, especially such a short stretch. What I think is happening is that the wind
2008-11-07 Aegean and Mediterranean Seas:
The short answer is: You can't. It's sort of like asking where does the midwest end and the west begin, or when are you in the mountains instead of the foothills. It's a gradual thing, with no definite

Weathering is the change in a substance due to exposure to rain, sun, etc. i.e. the weather. It is NOT erosion, like in a stream or due to a flood. An example would be the discoloration of wood
