Greece is located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Situated on the southern tip of the Balkan peninsula, it shares land borders with Albania to the northwest, the Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria to the north, and Turkey to the northeast. The Aegean Sea lies to the east of the mainland, the Ionian Sea to the west, the Cretan Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Greece has the longest coastline on the Mediterranean Basin and the 11th longest coastline in the world at 13,676 km (8,498 mi) in length, featuring a large number of islands, of which 227 are inhabited. Eighty percent of Greece is mountainous, with Mount Olympus being the highest peak at 2,918 metres (9,573 ft).
Answer:
of nationalism and wars
Explanation:
Yugoslavia was formed in the 1940's, with its leader being Tito. This South Slavic country emerged with the merging of Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Slovenia, and Montenegro into one state. Yugoslavia was a socialist country, and even though it had most of the traits as the other socialist countries, it seems to have been much less extreme, and the people in general had it relatively good. The country was developing well and it was prospering, becoming a force to be reckoned with, but also remaining neutral during the Cold War period. This lasted until the death of Tito. Once Tito was gone, everything quickly started to fall apart. The extreme nationalism emerged as the dominant force in the two biggest states, Serbia and Croatia, and the tensions soon led to military conflict. One by one all states started to declare independence, with Macedonia being the only one that didn't engaged in war with anyone in the early 1990's.

Answer:
4) The rate of species extinction is lower on the small island than on the large island.
Explanation:
The theory of island biogeography suggested that because of the size and links to the mainland. Fewer species that are not from the island will invade because the distance from the mainland is greater. The threat of extinction due to this is low. The small island also has a lower capacity for different species due to limited resources. This would mean that there are simply fewer species to go extinct.
Answer:
The following is NOT part of the definition of a mineral: c. can be produced by natural or laboratory processes. Is glacial ice a mineral? d. Yes. Which type of bonds results when two atoms share electrons? d. Covalent
Explanation:
Mineral are composed of specific chemical elements. The are organized and their atomic structure forms crystals. They occur naturally and they are associated with rocks. The reason why they are inorganic is because they do not contain carbon, however, they can be produced by organic processes. Therefore, c. is NOT part of the definition of a mineral. Following the same principles, ice is considered a mineral because it is composed of one single chemical molecule (H2O), it occurs naturally and it contains a well organized crystal structure. The process of sharing two atoms is called covalent bond. In an ionic system, the electron is transferred to another atom so the concept of sharing is limited to the covalent bond.
