Answer:
Two countries that do not border each other: Norway and Iceland.
Norway and Iceland are separated by hundreds of miles of open sea, however, the two countries are very similar, both in culture, language and geography.
Both countries have fjords, both countries are cold during most of the year, and both countries speak North Germanic languages that descend from Old Norse (the language of the Vikings). This is because Iceland was first settled by people from Norway and from the British Isles.
Two countries that do border each other: Slovakia and Hungary
Slovakia is mountainous because it is crossed by the Carpathian Mountains. Hungary is flat.
In Slovakia, the dominant language: Slovak, is a Slavic language closely related to Polish and Czech.
Hungarian, the national language of Hungary, is a Finno-Ugric language that is more or less related to Finnish (but the relation is not that close).
Answer:
C. Horse Latitudes
Explanation:
The "horse latitude" is an area located on the north and south of the tropics–<u>30 degrees north of the equator </u>and <u>30 degrees south of the equator</u>. The wind in this area separates into different directions; thus resulting to a narrow band of windless area or<em> calm wind. </em>It is also characterized by sunny, clear skies and little to no precipitation.
The term was derived from a historical event during the opening of the New World. Many people transported horses via ships. When they reached this windless area, they had a hard time sailing towards their destination. So, what they did was to throw the horses into the sea to make their ships lighter.
