1.) They do good and bad things. The good side is if they're tall enough, they help block cold wind and make the land below them warmer; like in Italy. The bad side is they make it harder to travel.

5.) The Mediterranean Region has citrus because it has dry, hot summers.

8.) By transforming an arm of the North Sea into a freshwater lake, they were able to get a lot more land.

9.) Industrial waste, sewage, and saltwater
