A Place to Visit

Shanghai is the largest Chinese city by population. It is one of the four direct-controlled
municipalities of China and has a population of more than 24 million as of 2014. It is a global
financial center, and transport hub containing the world's busiest container port. Shangai
Overview

Shanghai is located in the Yangtze River Delta in East China, and borders the provinces of
Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the north, south and west, and is bounded to the east by the East China
Sea. A convenient location

For centuries it was a major administrative, shipping, and trading town, and grew in importance
in the 19th century due to its location and economic potential. The city was one of five forced
open to foreign trade following the British victory over China in the First Opium War. After
some time the city then flourished as a center of commerce between east and west. After the
Communist Party takeover of the mainland in 1949, trade focused on socialist countries, and the
city's global influence declined. In the 1990s, Deng Xiaoping started economic reforms which
led to re-development of the city, and foreign investment to the city. The population of shanghai

Shanghai is a popular tourist destination renowned because of its historical landmarks such as the
Bund, City God Temple and Yu Garden. Other sites include major museums such as the
Shanghai Museum and the China Art Museum. From these examples, it can be understood that it
has been described as the "showpiece" of the booming economy of mainland China. A place to

Mining

Mining is the removal of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth from an
area. The product taken from the mines is called Ore. Ores recovered by mining include metals,
coal, oil shale, gemstones, limestone, dimension stone, rock salt, potash, gravel, and clay. What
mining is

Mining is needed to get any material that cannot be grown or created in a laboratory or factory.
Mining in a wider sense includes extraction of any non-renewable resource such as petroleum,
natural gas, or even water. Why companies mine

Mining of stones and metal has been a human activity since pre-historic times. Modern mining
processes involve studying areas to find out how much ore there is available, and final use of the
land after the mine is closed. History of mining

Mining operations usually create a negative environmental impact, both during the mining
activity and after the mine has closed. Therefore, most of the world's nations have passed laws to
decrease the impact. Worker safety has long been a concern as well, and modern practices have
significantly improved safety in mines. Environmental impacts of mining

Levels of metals recycling are generally low. Unless future recycling rates are increased, some
rare metals may become unavailable for consumer products. Due to the low recycling rates, some
landfills now contain higher concentrations of metal than mines themselves. Mining and impact

Climate and temperatures

The Arctic ocean is the ocean around the North Pole. During the winter it is covered in ice and
snow, and this remains during most of the summer. What is the Arctic Ocean?

The Ocean is about 14.056 million km2, which makes it the world’s smallest ocean. The middle
or central surface is covered by about 3 meters of ice. It also has around 45,389 kilometres of
coastline(the areas which touch land). The average depth of the ocean is 1,038 feet, while the
deepest point is 5,450 m at the Eurasian Basin. The size of the area

Due to the environment, the Arctic is very difficult to get to, so only certain vehicles can enter
and move across it. An icebreaker or a nuclear-powered submarine can use the Arctic Ocean to
traverse the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Acces to the region

The Arctic Ocean has a polar climate. This means that the nights are cold, weather is stable and

the skies are usually clear. The average temperature is just above the freezing point of sea water
at -1.8 C. However recently, the temperature has risen causing the ice to melt. Climate and
temperature

There are many animals which live in this region. Endangered animals include the walrus and
whales. In contrast, there are very few plant species including Phytoplankon, which is very
important to ocean life. Native creature in the ocean.

Why Einstein is famous

Albert Einstein was a German-born physicist who developed one of the most important theories
within science. He is known as the smartest man who lived and is credited with showing the
world the general theory of relativity. Who Albert Einstein was
He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 but not for relativity. His theories of special and
general relativity are of great importance to many branches of physics and astronomy. They have
been confirmed by many experiments and observations. His early awards

Einstein is well known for his theories about light, matter, gravity, space, and time. His most
well known equation is E=mc2. It means that energy and mass are different forms of the same
thing. Why Einstein is famous

Einstein published more than 300 scientific papers and over 150 non-scientific works. He
received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from many European
and American universities. Einstein´s academics achievements

Near the beginning of World War II, he warned President Franklin D. Roosevelt that Germany
might be developing an atomic weapon. He recommended that the U.S. begin nuclear weapons
research. That research, begun by a newly established Manhattan Project, resulted in the U.S.
becoming the first and only country to have nuclear weapons during the war. Einsten
contribution´s to the Second Of world war

Einstein often appears in movies and TV shows when characters need help from a genius.
Moreover, in popular culture, people are commonly called Einsteins if they suggest good ideas or
show great intelligence. Einstein in the media.
