The climate in Spain is overall mild year-round; but rainfall is not uncommon. The northern mountains are the wettest part of the country, reaching around 90-160 inches of rainfall during the winter; and around 50-85 inches of rainfall during the summer. The average temperature is 40-55o F during the winter, and around 56-72o F in the summer. In the Meseta, the average temperature in winter ranges from 48-60o F and ranges from 80-90o F in the summer.

The average winter weather is around 55-65o F and around 80-90o F in the summer. Although rain is not uncommon, the most rain falls in Galician (northern Spain) while the least rain falls in southern Spain. Vegetation is an issue for Spain. About 50 percent of Spain has vegetation, but only 14 percent is forested. In the northern mountains, pine trees, hardy plants, and pasture grasses are the most common in vegetation. In the south/southeastern, olive trees and almond trees are most common. In the meseta, pine, oak, walnut, and chestnut are most common. As you can see, there isn’t much variety of vegetation in Spain, due to having a hot dry climate. As mentioned before, Spaniards take the government very seriously.

...The Fleurieu Food The Fleurieu Peninsula is approximately 30km south of Adelaide and is 2 963.0 km2 and produces $336.4 million dollars of products each year. A new and exciting development is emerging from this relatively small area, a growers’ paradise with rich fertile soils, temperate climate and reliable rainfall. The lifestyle here is governed by the rhythms of the seasons, the food is good, fresh and full of flavour. Regional foods, that are produced are made up of crops (wheat, barley oats) meat, (beef, pork, lamb, venison) livestock products (milk) agriculture (vegetables, orchard trees, fruit trees, grapes) poultry, and aquaculture. Almonds grown in Willunga are the finest in Australia, Olive oil being produced is now compared to Italy’s finest, and talented bakers produce real bread from long lost but recovered recipes, our cheese makers create authentic French-style goat’s curd and feta cheeses, or thick rich Jersey milk cream and traditional cheddars. This is why so many hospitality businesses are buying and using food obtained from the Fleurieu Peninsula. It also has to do with what is called the Carbon Footprint “The amount of carbon dioxide emitted due to the consumption of fossil fuels by a particular person, or transport.” When Food is transported from interstate by semi-trailer or overseas by shipping the engine burns fossil fuel this creates CO2 (carbon dioxide) which is emitted into the atmosphere these greenhouse gas are then thought to contribute...

The whole northwest of Kabul and the basins of the Kabul, and Helmand rivers from that of the Amu Darya is considered to be in Hindu Kush Range. It is also considered as the sub-range of the Himalaya mountain range. It is located between the borders of two Muslim countries Pakistan and Afghanistan and is also considered to be the geographic center of population of the world. Tirich Mir, Noshes, and Istoro Nal, the highest peaks in the Hindu Kush are located in Chitral District of Northern Pakistan. Its eastern side range is also known as the High Hindu Kush range which is located in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Chitral is considered to be the pinnacle of the Hindu Kush region. The highest peaks, as well as countless passes and massive glaciers, are located in this region. The Chiantar, Kurambar, and Terich glaciers are amongst the most extensive in the Hindu Kush and the melt water from these glaciers form the Kunar River, which eventually flows south into Afghanistan and joins the Bashgal, Panjsher, and eventually the much smaller Kabul River.

...only bigger size ones to compensate the while to get sunburned and mosquito bitten. Bitterness: Many wild seeds evolved to be bitter, bad-tasting or even poisonous to keep human or animals away from eating them. Natural selection functioned as getting the fruit tasteful dispersed by animals and continue the process of reproducing, meanwhile if the seed remained tasteful, the animal will chew them up as well. Occasional individual almond trees have a mutation in a single gene that prevents them from synthesizing the bitter-tasting amygdalin, which breaks down to yield poison cyanide. Such trees die out in the wild, while the trees lived near humans survived by being picked up by curious children or early farmers who noticed the non-bitter fruit. Fleshiness, Oiliness and fiber length are all similar in the selection process. Initially the wild fruit had less fruit around their seeds, but early farmers chose the fruit mutated to be with more Fleshiness, less seeds, such as squashes, pumpkins, bananas oranges, grapes, watermelons. Olives were cultivated earliest around 4000 B.C. Ancient farmers also selected sesame, mustard, poppies and flax for oily seeds. Modern plant scientists have done the same for sunflower, safflower, and cotton. Before recent development of cotton for oil, it was for its fibers, used to weave textiles. Flax, hemp.
