1634: the ram rebellion is the seventh published work in the 1632 alternate history book series, and is the third work to establish what is best considered as a 'main plot line or thread' of historical speculative focus that are loosely organized and classified geographically.the initial main thread is called the 'western and north-central europe thread' (encompassing northern and western germany, denmark, england, france, the low countries, sweden and the baltic); the second plot line, encompassing events in italy, spain, the mediterranean region, and france, the 'south european thread', and this book can be considered the starting novel of the 'south-central/south-east thread' being set in southern germany, austria, bavaria, and bohemia.this geographically organized plot thread actually began in ring of fire in flint's novelette 'the wallenstein gambit' which is set in bohemia, austria, and germany, which tied into stories in various grantville gazettes.unlike most works in the 1632 series, much of this book is written from the standpoint of common people 'in the street', including germans trying to cope with grantville, west virginia, up-timers trying to cope with their new world around grantville, and both trying to deal with the problems of two widely different cultures meeting in the new united states of europe.these merging dynamics are the milieu shaping stories flint felt necessary to include even though they are set in 1631–1632.their impact extends throughout the book and into 1634, as well as across political boundaries and battle lines as the historical imperatives developed in this book extend into the direct sequel 1634: the bavarian crisis.the short novel that concludes the work begins in late august 1633 and overlaps many of the shorter works earlier in the book.two of the three other books set in 1634 refer to the events in the work (usually as the 'troubles in franconia') setting its canonical place in the 'greater' neo-historical international politics covered in the other two works.in the flint stories which are sandwiched around the birdie tales, mike stearns goes back to school under the tutelage of melissa mailey.stearns has a problem, he has to get a handle on likely complications from the local population, as the stories are set just a few days after he is elected as chairman of the emergency committee.as a result, mailey gives stearns several very thick history books on european history in the era.birdie newhouse has an immediate problem, he's a farmer with most of his farm's arable land 300 years off and a continent away.the stories by gorg huff and paula goodlett explore the alien land practices and ownership of down-time germany as birdie seeks to gain additional lands.land sales are rare; worse, the lawyers are in control and there are three general levels of vested interest: the owners-in-fact, a variable number of other claimants, and the tenants.the tenants have certain rights and obligations over and above monetary rent while leases are generally for the lesser of three generations or 99 years.in between the owner in fact and the tenants is usually a monetary transaction which gives the rents to any number of claimants—depending upon the finances of the landholding family.the claimants all have a say in the farm operation to some extent, as do the occupants of the farm villages, which also have the right to disapprove or accept new co-farmers, for the land is farmed cooperatively with another set of obligations and entitlements.birdie can't just go and buy a piece of land, he has to buy it from three different and diverse groups of people... and get them all to agree to terms. | photoresist | suffumigated | mammon <tsp> photoresist | uncongregated | spiran | no related information |

the atlantic ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about 85,133,000 km2 (32,870,000 sq mi).it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n.a. r. 1.211): atlantikôi pelágei (greek: ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει; english: 'the atlantic sea'; etym.'sea of atlas') and in the histories of herodotus around 450 bc (hdt.1.202.4): atlantis thalassa (greek: ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; english: 'sea of atlas' or 'the atlantic sea') where the name refers to 'the sea beyond the pillars of heracles' which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land.in these uses, the name refers to atlas, the titan in greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.on the other hand, to early greek sailors and in ancient greek mythological literature such as the iliad and the odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself. | empathize | unplundered | lamellibranchia <tsp> empathize | uncajoling | filipinization | no related information |

the atlantic ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about 85,133,000 km2 (32,870,000 sq mi).it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n.a. r. 1.211): atlantikôi pelágei (greek: ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει; english: 'the atlantic sea'; etym.'sea of atlas') and in the histories of herodotus around 450 bc (hdt.1.202.4): atlantis thalassa (greek: ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; english: 'sea of atlas' or 'the atlantic sea') where the name refers to 'the sea beyond the pillars of heracles' which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land.in these uses, the name refers to atlas, the titan in greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.on the other hand, to early greek sailors and in ancient greek mythological literature such as the iliad and the odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself. | microscopist | xanthochroism | galionji | no related information |

the dog (canis familiaris or canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated descendant of the wolf.also called the domestic dog, it is derived from extinct pleistocene wolves, and the modern wolf is the dog's nearest living relative.dogs were the first species to be domesticated by hunter-gatherers over 15,000 years ago before the development of agriculture.due to their long association with humans, dogs have expanded to a large number of domestic individuals and gained the ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canids.the dog has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.dog breeds vary widely in shape, size, and color.they perform many roles for humans, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and the military, companionship, therapy, and aiding disabled people.over the millennia, dogs became uniquely adapted to human behavior, and the human–canine bond has been a topic of frequent study.this influence on human society has given them the sobriquet of 'man's best friend'.canis is the latin word meaning 'dog', and under this genus, he listed the domestic dog, the wolf, and the golden jackal.he classified the domestic dog as canis familiaris and, on the next page, classified the grey wolf as canis lupus.linnaeus considered the dog to be a separate species from the wolf because of its upturning tail (cauda recurvata), which is not found in any other canid.in 1999, a study of mitochondrial dna (mtdna) indicated that the domestic dog may have originated from the grey wolf, with the dingo and new guinea singing dog breeds having developed at a time when human communities were more isolated from each other.in the third edition of mammal species of the world published in 2005, the mammalogist w. christopher wozencraft listed under the wolf canis lupus its wild subspecies and proposed two additional subspecies, which formed the domestic dog clade: familiaris, as named by linnaeus in 1758 and, dingo named by meyer in 1793.wozencraft included hallstromi (the new guinea singing dog) as another name (junior synonym) for the dingo.wozencraft referred to the mtdna study as one of the guides informing his decision.mammalogists have noted the inclusion of familiaris and dingo together under the 'domestic dog' clade with some debating it.in 2019, a workshop hosted by the iucn/species survival commission's canid specialist group considered the dingo and the new guinea singing dog to be feral canis familiaris and therefore did not assess them for the iucn red list of threatened species.contextual, isotopic, genetic, and morphological evidence shows that this dog was not a local wolf.the dog was dated to 14,223 years ago and was found buried along with a man and a woman, all three having been sprayed with red hematite powder and buried under large, thick basalt blocks.the dog had died of canine distemper.earlier remains dating back to 30,000 years ago have been described as paleolithic dogs, but their status as dogs or wolves remains debated because considerable morphological diversity existed among wolves during the late pleistocene.this timing indicates that the dog was the first species to be domesticated in the time of hunter–gatherers, which predates agriculture.dna sequences show that all ancient and modern dogs share a common ancestry and descended from an ancient, extinct wolf population which was distinct from the modern wolf lineage.most dogs form a sister group to the remains of a late pleistocene wolf found in the kesslerloch cave near thayngen in the canton of schaffhausen, switzerland, which dates to 14,500 years ago.the most recent common ancestor of both is estimated to be from 32,100 years ago. | dodge | keyperson | sergio marchionne | no related information |
the atlantic ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about 85,133,000 km2 (32,870,000 sq mi).it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n.a. r. 1.211): atlantikôi pelágei (greek: ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει; english: 'the atlantic sea'; etym.'sea of atlas') and in the histories of herodotus around 450 bc (hdt.1.202.4): atlantis thalassa (greek: ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; english: 'sea of atlas' or 'the atlantic sea') where the name refers to 'the sea beyond the pillars of heracles' which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land.in these uses, the name refers to atlas, the titan in greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.on the other hand, to early greek sailors and in ancient greek mythological literature such as the iliad and the odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself. | atlanta | areatotal | 3471 square kilometres | no related information |

the dog (canis familiaris or canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated descendant of the wolf.also called the domestic dog, it is derived from extinct pleistocene wolves, and the modern wolf is the dog's nearest living relative.dogs were the first species to be domesticated by hunter-gatherers over 15,000 years ago before the development of agriculture.due to their long association with humans, dogs have expanded to a large number of domestic individuals and gained the ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canids.the dog has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.dog breeds vary widely in shape, size, and color.they perform many roles for humans, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and the military, companionship, therapy, and aiding disabled people.over the millennia, dogs became uniquely adapted to human behavior, and the human–canine bond has been a topic of frequent study.this influence on human society has given them the sobriquet of 'man's best friend'.canis is the latin word meaning 'dog', and under this genus, he listed the domestic dog, the wolf, and the golden jackal.he classified the domestic dog as canis familiaris and, on the next page, classified the grey wolf as canis lupus.linnaeus considered the dog to be a separate species from the wolf because of its upturning tail (cauda recurvata), which is not found in any other canid.in 1999, a study of mitochondrial dna (mtdna) indicated that the domestic dog may have originated from the grey wolf, with the dingo and new guinea singing dog breeds having developed at a time when human communities were more isolated from each other.in the third edition of mammal species of the world published in 2005, the mammalogist w. christopher wozencraft listed under the wolf canis lupus its wild subspecies and proposed two additional subspecies, which formed the domestic dog clade: familiaris, as named by linnaeus in 1758 and, dingo named by meyer in 1793.wozencraft included hallstromi (the new guinea singing dog) as another name (junior synonym) for the dingo.wozencraft referred to the mtdna study as one of the guides informing his decision.mammalogists have noted the inclusion of familiaris and dingo together under the 'domestic dog' clade with some debating it.in 2019, a workshop hosted by the iucn/species survival commission's canid specialist group considered the dingo and the new guinea singing dog to be feral canis familiaris and therefore did not assess them for the iucn red list of threatened species.contextual, isotopic, genetic, and morphological evidence shows that this dog was not a local wolf.the dog was dated to 14,223 years ago and was found buried along with a man and a woman, all three having been sprayed with red hematite powder and buried under large, thick basalt blocks.the dog had died of canine distemper.earlier remains dating back to 30,000 years ago have been described as paleolithic dogs, but their status as dogs or wolves remains debated because considerable morphological diversity existed among wolves during the late pleistocene.this timing indicates that the dog was the first species to be domesticated in the time of hunter–gatherers, which predates agriculture.dna sequences show that all ancient and modern dogs share a common ancestry and descended from an ancient, extinct wolf population which was distinct from the modern wolf lineage.most dogs form a sister group to the remains of a late pleistocene wolf found in the kesslerloch cave near thayngen in the canton of schaffhausen, switzerland, which dates to 14,500 years ago.the most recent common ancestor of both is estimated to be from 32,100 years ago. | interplight | torrentially | saffrony | no related information |

the atlantic ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about 85,133,000 km2 (32,870,000 sq mi).it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n.a. r. 1.211): atlantikôi pelágei (greek: ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει; english: 'the atlantic sea'; etym.'sea of atlas') and in the histories of herodotus around 450 bc (hdt.1.202.4): atlantis thalassa (greek: ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; english: 'sea of atlas' or 'the atlantic sea') where the name refers to 'the sea beyond the pillars of heracles' which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land.in these uses, the name refers to atlas, the titan in greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.on the other hand, to early greek sailors and in ancient greek mythological literature such as the iliad and the odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself. | atlanta | ispartof | georgia | no related information |

the atlantic ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about 85,133,000 km2 (32,870,000 sq mi).it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n.a. r. 1.211): atlantikôi pelágei (greek: ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει; english: 'the atlantic sea'; etym.'sea of atlas') and in the histories of herodotus around 450 bc (hdt.1.202.4): atlantis thalassa (greek: ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; english: 'sea of atlas' or 'the atlantic sea') where the name refers to 'the sea beyond the pillars of heracles' which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land.in these uses, the name refers to atlas, the titan in greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.on the other hand, to early greek sailors and in ancient greek mythological literature such as the iliad and the odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself. | indiscriminateness | bosks | calorizes <tsp> indiscriminateness | weepier | unhard | no related information |

an island or isle is a piece of subcontinental land completely surrounded by water.very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys.an island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot or ait, and a small island off the coast may be called a holm.sedimentary islands in the ganges delta are called chars.a grouping of geographically or geologically related islands, such as the philippines, is referred to as an archipelago.there are two main types of islands in the sea: continental islands and oceanic islands.there are also artificial islands (man-made islands).there are about 900,000 official islands in the world.this number consists of all the officially-reported islands of each country.the total number of islands in the world is unknown.there may be hundreds of thousands of tiny islands that are unknown and uncounted.the number of sea islands in the world is estimated to be more than 200,000.the total area of the world's sea islands is approx.9,963,000 sq km, which is similar to the area of canada and accounts for roughly 1/15 (or 6.7%) of the total land area of earth.dutch eiland ('island'), german eiland ('small island')).however, the spelling of the word was modified in the 15th century because of a false etymology caused by an incorrect association with the etymologically unrelated old french loanword isle, which itself comes from the latin word insula.old english ieg is actually a cognate of swedish ö and german aue, and related to latin aqua (water).continents are often considered to be the largest landmass of a particular continental plate; this holds true for australia, which sits on its own continental lithosphere and tectonic plate (the australian plate).by contrast, islands are usually seen as being extensions of the oceanic crust (e.g.volcanic islands), or as belonging to a continental plate containing a larger landmass (continental islands); the latter is the case of greenland, which sits on the north american plate.examples are borneo, java, sumatra, sakhalin, taiwan and hainan off asia; new guinea, tasmania, and kangaroo island off australia; great britain, ireland, and sicily off europe; greenland, newfoundland, long island, and sable island off north america; and barbados, the falkland islands, and trinidad off south america.examples are madagascar and socotra off africa, new caledonia, new zealand, and some of the seychelles.if this island has a seashore as well as being encircled by two river systems, it becomes what might be called a subcontinental island.the one formed by wollaston lake is very large, about 2,000,000 km2 (770,000 sq mi).this includes: barrier islands, which are accumulations of sand deposited by sea currents on the continental shelves fluvial or alluvial islands formed in river deltas or midstream within large rivers.while some are transitory and may disappear if the volume or speed of the current changes, others are stable and long-lived.other definitions limit the term to only refer to islands with no past geological connections to a continental landmass.the vast majority are volcanic in origin, such as saint helena in the south atlantic ocean.the few oceanic islands that are not volcanic are tectonic in origin and arise where plate movements have lifted up the ocean floor above the surface.examples are the saint peter and saint paul archipelago in the north atlantic ocean and macquarie island in the south pacific ocean.these islands arise from volcanoes where the subduction of one plate under another is occurring.examples are the aleutian islands, the mariana islands, and most of tonga in the pacific ocean. | finland | demonym | finns | no related information |
the atlantic ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about 85,133,000 km2 (32,870,000 sq mi).it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n.a. r. 1.211): atlantikôi pelágei (greek: ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει; english: 'the atlantic sea'; etym.'sea of atlas') and in the histories of herodotus around 450 bc (hdt.1.202.4): atlantis thalassa (greek: ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; english: 'sea of atlas' or 'the atlantic sea') where the name refers to 'the sea beyond the pillars of heracles' which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land.in these uses, the name refers to atlas, the titan in greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.on the other hand, to early greek sailors and in ancient greek mythological literature such as the iliad and the odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself. | gypsying | counteractingly | plebeiance <tsp> gypsying | taco | palaeolith | no related information |

the atlantic ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about 85,133,000 km2 (32,870,000 sq mi).it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n.a. r. 1.211): atlantikôi pelágei (greek: ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει; english: 'the atlantic sea'; etym.'sea of atlas') and in the histories of herodotus around 450 bc (hdt.1.202.4): atlantis thalassa (greek: ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; english: 'sea of atlas' or 'the atlantic sea') where the name refers to 'the sea beyond the pillars of heracles' which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land.in these uses, the name refers to atlas, the titan in greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.on the other hand, to early greek sailors and in ancient greek mythological literature such as the iliad and the odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself. | epitheliomuscular | pulsific | cnemapophysis <tsp> epitheliomuscular | gravelly | crumster | no related information |

ayn al asad (iata: iqa, icao: oraa) is an iraqi armed forces base located in al anbar governorate (also called anbar province) of western iraq.it was originally known as qadisiyah airbase.it was the second largest us military airbase in iraq during operation iraqi freedom.until january 2010, it was the home of the ii marine expeditionary force/multi-national force west.other major tenants have included the 3rd id's 4th ibct, 82nd airborne division advise & assist brigade, 332nd medical brigade, 321st sustainment brigade, vertical onboard delivery detachment-1 (vod-1), vaq-141, navy customs battalion juliet, elements of the iraqi army's 7th division, and the united states air force (usaf).on december 26, 2018, president donald trump and his wife melania visited the soldiers stationed at the base.on november 23, 2019, vice president mike pence and his wife karen, visited the troops ahead of thanksgiving.on january 8, 2020, the air base came under an iranian ballistic missile attack in retaliation for the killing of quds leader qasem soleimani in a u.s. drone strike a few days earlier.the airbase is divided by wādī al asadī (وادي الاسدي), a wadi whose course passes through the oasis along the base's western edge and then continues eastward, emptying into the euphrates river at khan al baghdadi.this oasis is locally referred to as 'abraham's well'.the ‘ayn al asad spring surfaces within the base and flows into the wādī al asadī.geologically, the base resides in the al-ḥammād sector of the syrian desert, composed mostly of a rock and gravel steppe.qadisiyah ab was one of five new air bases built in iraq as part of their project 'super-base', launched in 1975 as a response to the lessons learned during the arab-israeli wars of 1967 and 1973.the base was built sometime between 1981 and 1987 by a consortium of yugoslavian companies under contract to the government of iraq.two yugoslav government agencies led the project.the fdsp (federal directorate of supply and procurement) acted as the project manager and aeroengineering acted as the project engineer.known as 'project 202-b' and 'project 1100', the companies involved in its construction included granit, vranica d.d.sarajevo, i.l.lavčević d.d.split, and unioninvest d.d.sarajevo.the us$280,000,000 project at qadisiyah ab included accommodation for 5,000 personnel and the necessary infrastructure including public facilities (mosques, outdoor and indoor olympic swimming pool, football field, sports hall, cinema, library, elementary school, high school, hospital and clinic) and fortified military facilities (military airport, shelters for personnel and equipment, shelters for bombers and fighters and military barracks).the hardened aircraft shelters built here and throughout iraq by the yugoslavs were nicknamed 'yugos'.at the time they were considered state of the art but were rendered obsolete in 1991 after the development of the gbu-28 laser-guided bunker-buster bomb.prior to the 2003 us-led invasion of iraq, the base housed three units of the iraqi air force, which flew mig-25s and mig-21s.it was abandoned shortly after the start of the invasion.it was initially known as objective webster, and then eventually was renamed al asad airbase, which means 'the lion' in arabic.the 3rd acr was relieved by the marines of the 1st marine expeditionary force in march 2004.al asad became the largest u.s. base in western iraq and the western equivalent of baghdad's green zone.al asad was a major convoy hub, hosting hundreds of fuel and supply trucks every day.huge shipments of fuel were commonly run along the dangerous routes coming out of jordan and, despite insurgent attempts, a majority of these convoys arrived at their destinations untouched.a single convoy operation would sometimes last a couple days with trucks on the road for over 8 hours a day. | dallied | digenic | japonicas <tsp> dallied | hypolocrian | sagittaries | no related information |

the atlantic ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about 85,133,000 km2 (32,870,000 sq mi).it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n.a. r. 1.211): atlantikôi pelágei (greek: ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει; english: 'the atlantic sea'; etym.'sea of atlas') and in the histories of herodotus around 450 bc (hdt.1.202.4): atlantis thalassa (greek: ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; english: 'sea of atlas' or 'the atlantic sea') where the name refers to 'the sea beyond the pillars of heracles' which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land.in these uses, the name refers to atlas, the titan in greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.on the other hand, to early greek sailors and in ancient greek mythological literature such as the iliad and the odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself. | atlanta | ispartof | georgia us state | no related information |
