It is considered one region!
Answer:
Knowing that the temperature at sea level (0 m) is 20 ° C, we will calculate the air temperature at. The altitude of 3500m.
According to the vertical thermal gradient, the air temperature decreases by 6 ° C at 1000m alt.
1000 m .... 14 ° C (20-6 = 14)
2000 m .... 8 ° C (14-6 = 8)
3000 m ... 2 ° C (8-6 = 2)
3500 m .... - 1 ° C (2-3 = -1
Explanation:
They are called fringing reefs. They grow directly from shore and form borders along the shoreline.
When a fringing reef continues to grow upward from a volcanic island that has sunk entirely below the sea level, an atoll is formed. Atolls are usually circular or oval in shape, with an open lagoon in the center.
The fringing reef is the most common type of coral reef. They however tend to be very sensitive to human induced pollution in the water and are easily destroyed by such.

Asia and North-America
Explanation:
The Bering strait is a portion of about 47 miles (75 km) that separates Asia (Russia) and North-America (state of Alaska, USA). Let's remember that Alaska belonged to Russia and was bought by the US.
That straight is a place with very harsh and extremely violent weather fueled by cold Arctic water and winds.
20,000 years ago, that straight was solid ice and that's how human migrated from Asia to North America (and went further South afterwards).
