		It may be thought of geologically as made of two systems: the geologically stable lowlands (arid, shield) extending from Africa to India – including Arabia and Egypt); and the geologically active mountain zones which take in the Anatolian and Iranian plateaus.
		Between the shield and the mountains lies the alluvium of the Mesopotamian depression.
		Geography and landforms are not static; rivers have shifted, soils have changed their constitution (becoming more saline, more or less fertile), the ground cover has changed (either through change in climate, or through human-induced changes such as introduction of goats or reforestation).

		The Guiana Shield is that portion of South American tropical forest that covers much of Guyana, Surinam and French Guiana, as well as eastern and southern Venezuela, and northeast Brazil.
		These features mean that Guiana Shield frontier forest ecosystems represent one of the highest per capita forested areas in the world and one of the largest well preserved landscapes.
		The challenge for Guiana Shield countries is to develop management approaches, within human and financial resource constraints, that can capture the full range of forest values and consequently reduce the threats to these values.

		Opportunity's heat shield, a cone 8 feet in diameter, withstood temperatures up to 2,700 degrees and speeds up to 12,000 mph before it was jettisoned as planned.
		Scientists are especially interested in getting a close look at what used to be the outer skin of the shield, made of a lightweight material six-tenths of an inch thick.
