Cascata di Marmore

-



     

    Today we are going to talk about the tallest man-made waterfall in the world. That is the 165 meter high Marmore waterfall. It is located in the province of Umbria. It was created to change the course of the river Vellino through the city of Rieti. The reason for that is the damage done to the city due to periodic floods. But this is not a creation of yesterday. BC It was in 271 that the Romans made this.

     This does not flow all the time. There is time for that too. Besides, you can't go and see whenever you want. You have to buy tickets for that too. This is not just a flowing waterfall, but a place that earns income from tickets on one hand, and a place that generates electricity on the other hand.

  The Dead Sea, known as the Salt Sea by the Arabs, is a unique location in the world. This is a salt lake that is part of the Red Sea, half of its western shore belongs to Israel and half of its eastern shore belongs to Palestine. After the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, the West Bank has been occupied by Israeli settlements. The Dead Sea is fed by the Jordan River that flows into it. The water level of the Dead Sea is below the sea level, and due to the careless use of this sea water by Israel and Jordan over several decades of the 20th century, the water level was further lowered by 400 meters. This water level continues to drop by 3 meters per year. The Dead Sea lies between the Judean Mountains to the west and the Transjordanian Plateau to the east. Before the water level dropped, this water table was about 80 km long and 18 km wide and spread over an area of 1020 square km. The lake on the Al Lizan Peninsula is unusually divided into two basins, with the northern basin accounting for...

 Before leaving the earth.. Northern white rhinoceros (𝘊𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘤𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪) is a highly precious limbs from the end of the surgery on Earth. They are a subspecies of the White Rhinoceros genus, which is among the 5 rhino species found in the world. The sad fact is that there are only two animals belonging to this subspecies in the world. Both of them are females and Sudan, the last male of this species, passed away in 2018, leaving the future of the subspecies to be in serious doubt. But scientists strongly believe that with the help of modern biology, one day this subspecies will be able to be revived. Having roamed the earth for millions of years without any predators capable of threatening their herd, these rhinos have been driven to extinction by none other than humans. Rhino horn is in great demand in some Asian countries, especially in traditional Chinese medicine where there is evidence that rhino horn has been used for over two thousand years to make s...
