Where Are Bogs Found?

Answer»

Bogs are most abundant in the Northern HEMISPHERE, ESPECIALLY in a BROAD belt including the northern part of the deciduous forest zone and the central and southern parts of the boreal forest zone. Farther south, and in drier climates farther inland, they become sporadic and restricted to SPECIALIZED HABITATS. To the north, peat lands controlled by mineral soil water (aapa mires) replace them as the dominant wetlands.

Bogs are much less extensive in the Southern Hemisphere because there is little land in cold temperate latitudes. In these Southern Hemisphere peat lands, Sphagnum is much less important, and Epacridaceae and Restionaceae replace the Ericaceae and Cyperaceous of the Northern Hemisphere.

What Is An Executive Capital City?

Answer»

South Africa has three capital cities:

  3. The executive capital, Pretoria, is where the state officials have their HEADQUARTERS, and it is from Pretoria that the country is run.

This rather UNUSUAL arrangement of three capitals is DUE to the arrangements made when South Africa was put together from four separate and independent countries. The three that were awarded a capital were Transvaal Republic, Orange Free State, Cape Colony and Colony of Natal. Three of the four countries each got a capital. Natal missed out for some reason.
