Answer:

Explanation:

Washington (/ˈwɒʃɪŋtən/ (About this soundlisten)), officially the State of Washington, is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Named for George Washington, the first U.S. president, the state was made out of the western part of the Washington Territory, which was ceded by the British Empire in 1846, in accordance with the Oregon Treaty in the settlement of the Oregon boundary dispute. The state, which is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, Oregon to the south, Idaho to the east, and the Canadian province of British Columbia to the north, was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889. Olympia is the state capital; the state's largest city is Seattle. Washington is often referred to as Washington State to distinguish it from the nation's capital, Washington, D.C..

Washington is the 18th largest state, with an area of 71,362 square miles (184,827 km2), and the 13th most populous state, with more than 7.4 million people. Approximately 60 percent of Washington's residents live in the Seattle metropolitan area, the center of transportation, business, and industry along Puget Sound, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean consisting of numerous islands, deep fjords, and bays carved out by glaciers. The remainder of the state consists of deep temperate rainforests in the west; mountain ranges in the west, central, northeast, and far southeast; and a semi-arid basin region in the east, central, and south, given over to intensive agriculture. Washington is the second most populous state on the West Coast and in the Western United States, after California. Mount Rainier, an active stratovolcano, is the state's highest elevation, at almost 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), and is the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous U.S.

Washington is a leading lumber producer. Its rugged surface is rich in stands of Douglas fir, hemlock, ponderosa pine, white pine, spruce, larch, and cedar. The state is the US's largest producer of apples, hops, pears, red raspberries, spearmint oil, and sweet cherries, and ranks high in the production of apricots, asparagus, dry edible peas, grapes, lentils, peppermint oil, and potatoes. Livestock and livestock products make important contributions to total farm revenue, and the commercial fishing of salmon, halibut, and bottomfish makes a significant contribution to the state's economy. Washington ranks second only to California in the production of wine.

What are the main differences between soul and space?
lianna [129]
In the Biblical sense there is a difference, although I have seen heated debates on this question even among Christians. Most ancient languages have two words for these "entities". In the Hungarian Bible translations usually the same word is used for both as in the time of the first Hungarian Bible translation there was no Hungarian word for "spirit" - it was created on in the 18th century. This caused a lot of confusion. In Greek you have psyche and pneuma, in Hebrew you have nefesh and ruach - you can find a lot of discussion on the difference. Here I put very briefly my rudimentary idea about this. I do not believe that there are three substances: matter soul and spirit. My impression is that the soul is a kind of "interface" between spirit and matter (at least in a certain sense). Theologians will explain it more precisely. Nevertheless soul is the center of the conscious self where decisions are made (soul = life in the New Testament). There are several other aspects which I would comment - but I am not sure whether your question is intended in this direction.
