		The United Kingdom was formed by Acts of Union which united the Kingdom of England (which included Wales as a principality) with the Kingdom of Scotland and later the Kingdom of Ireland as a single state under the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
		The modern "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" was the result of the partition of Ireland in 1922 between the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland, which remained part of the United Kingdom.
		The United Kingdom is otherwise surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and its ancillary bodies of water- the North Sea, the English Channel, the Celtic Sea, and the Irish Sea.

	The United States - LoveToKnow 1911
		Officially the name is The United States of America, but The United States (used as a singular and not a plural) has become accepted as the name of the country; and pre-eminent usage has now made its citizens Americans, in distinctiofi from the other inhabitants of North and South America.
		Nevertheless the mountains are of especial interest to the physiographer who wishes to make a comparative study of land forms as affected by normal and by glacial sculpture, in order to give due attention to process as well as to structure and stage in the analysis and description of mountain topography.
		The Henry Mountains in south-western Utah are peculiar in owing their relief to the doming or blistering up of the plateau strata by the underground intrusion of large bodies or cisterns (laccolites) of lava, now more or less exposed by erosion.

	EPA : Global Warming : Impacts : Mountains
		Mountains cover close to 20 percent of the Earth's surface, providing a home to approximately one-tenth of the global human population.
		Mountainous areas throughout the world provide essential resources such as timber, minerals, recreational escapes, and a significant portion of the freshwater consumed by humans.
		The contiguous United States has two primary mountain regions: the western ranges (including the Sierra Nevada, the Cascade Range, the Rocky Mountains, and various other distinct ranges) and the eastern Appalachians.

	Embassy of the United States Paris France
		At the close of the 18th century, the western boundary of the newly-born United States of America was at the Mississippi River, and two thirds of its citizens lived within 50 miles of the Atlantic Ocean.
		Moreover, the United States wanted to possess the entire territory of Louisiana, as even at this time there were already many American settlers and merchants in the region and the area was already recognized as having a vital geographic position at the mouth of the Mississippi River.
		The United States discovered the transfer of Louisiana from Spain to France, and President Jefferson sent the Minister to France Robert Livingston to Paris in 1801 to try to purchase New Orleans.

	mountain
		Although isolated mountains are not unusual, mountains commonly form ranges, comprising either a single complex ridge or a series of related ridges.
		A group of ranges closely related in form, origin, and alignment is a mountain system; an elongated group of systems is a chain; and a complex of ranges, systems, and chains continental in extent is called a cordillera, zone, or belt.

	TESTING THE "GLACIAL BUZZSAW" HYPOTHESIS IN THE MOUNTAINS OF THE WESTERN UNITED STATES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the western United States were subsampled along three representative, 50 km wide, west-to-east swaths from the Pacific Ocean to the western Great Plains.
		The strong correlations found between altitudes of glaciated ranges in the Western United States and late Pleistocene ELAs in those ranges lends support to the “glacial buzzsaw” hypothesis that glaciation is an important limiting factor in the topographic development of mountain ranges.
		However, the fact that paleoELAs are most closely associated with maximum altitudes rather than mean altitudes suggests that the processes by which glaciers have influenced topographic development in the mountains of the western United States may be different from those operating in Pakistan.
