This is your third post with the title Geography. Please do not use the same title for different posts.

I suggest that you do a little searching on the internet for your answers to these - they are not an English problem.

I'm not a teacher, but I would suggest that alyssabc read the note for this forum that says, "we don't do homework". Exploiting banderas' good nature to get answers that you could research yourself does not seem to fit the purpose of this forum. That's probably why banderas is the only one answering you, because other people are trying to discourage the use of this forum for other than its intended purpose.

That is true that her questions are not really related to English.

It would seem that you are doing her homework for her. She posts a series of questions in school format that are unrelated to English, and you obligingly answer them, removing any need for her to do the work someone (likely a teacher) was expecting her to do. It is little wonder that alyssabc is grateful to you, since she's discovered a way to avoid doing the work for herself. :)

What makes you think that I answer her questions?:shock:For your information: I do not. Period.
If you are still in doubt, Anglika does not see anything wrong neither in pointing her to place where she can do her homewrok herself! :lol:

I'm just hoping that karmic justice will be satisfied by her being silly enough to trust Wikipedia. If she regurgitates whatever she finds there withut seeking independent confirmation, you'll hear my schadenfreude laughs from here! :-D

it is her choice what source she trusts;-). She was warned by me that this is not the best idea to use Wikipedia.
Anglika's suggestion was Wikipedia too and considering that informations the girl was seeking was very basic, I dare to say that even Wikipedia can manage to provide it. So let us not worry for her:-D.
