Approximately 44,000 sq. km (21 per cent of the country's surface area) is contaminated with caesium 137 21,000 sq. km (10 per cent of the surface area) is contaminated with strontium 90 and 4,000 sq. km (2 per cent of the surface area) is contaminated with plutonium isotopes.

The Island of Taiwan's surface area is thirty six thousand square kilometers.

About one third of the earth's surface is land.

That land is more valuable than just surface parking lots.

We're changing the characteristics of the surface of the land, the reflectivity.

The surface of the land area administered by the Herdsmen's Committee is approximately 248,000 hectares, of which some 16,100 hectares of forests (about 6 per cent of the land areas administered by the Committee) are used for the purposes of forestry on State owned lands.

ATSR is used to measure the surface temperatures of the sea, land and clouds.

With a total surface area of 139,000 km2, Nicaragua is the largest country in the Central American isthmus.

But if you were to put it on an equal area projection, you'd see that the mid ocean ridge covers 23 percent of the Earth's total surface area.

The majority of our functional brain is distributed over the outer surface layer of the brain, and to increase the area that's available for mental capacity, the brain surface is highly folded.

Vikings 1 and 2 became the first space probes to successfully land on the surface of Mars.

Redwoods have an enormous surface area that extends upward into space because they have a propensity to do something called reiteration.

As a result of that contamination, three fourths of the island's surface area was currently unsuitable as a place to live.

Certain States face the likelihood of the disappearance of the whole or a significant part of their surface area for environmental reasons.

One State which will not disappear but which risks losing a significant proportion of its surface area for environmental reasons is Bangladesh.

And we didn't want to take it propulsively all the way to the surface because we didn't want to contaminate the surface we wanted the Rover to immediately land on its legs.

70 percent of the agricultural land on Earth, 30 percent of the Earth's land surface is directly or indirectly devoted to raising the animals we'll eat.

We believe that the oceans were in the northern hemisphere, and this area in blue, which shows a depression of about four miles, was the ancient ocean area on the surface of Mars.

In fact, there have been very few logging operations in the area, the surface of the lands subject to logging amounting to approximately 1.2 per cent of the area administered by the Committee.

Agriculture covers approximately one third of the world's land surface and farmers are the largest group of ecosystem managers.

Agriculture covers approximately one third of the world's land surface and farmers are the largest group of ecosystem managers.

We have 11 and a half million root apex and a total length of 600 or more kilometers and a very high surface area.

The role of satellite data and GIS techniques in land use is exemplified by a study undertaken to establish optimum land use in the Irbid area by investigating the geomorphological, topographical, land cover and agricultural aspects of the area.

Mars is half the size of the Earth, but because two thirds of the Earth is covered by water, the land area on Mars is comparable to the land area on Earth.

Although complex, that structure seemed suited to the country's vast land area.

Actually, the lander will come down to about 100 feet and hover above that surface for 100 feet, and then we have a sky crane which will take that Rover and land it down on the surface.

These weapons are particularly well suited to the neutralization of surface targets (vehicles, batteries, logistics units, etc.), and have no equivalent in this area of use.

Agricultural area as a percentage of total land area also varied widely, ranging from 0.6 per cent for Jordan to 82 per cent for Turkmenistan.

As a result, cultivated land resources comprise a mere 5 per cent of the total land area, representing 22 million hectares of land, with very limited scope for expansion.

The radar altimeter permits the measurement of wind speed, wave height, sea surface elevation, ice profile, land and ice topography, and sea ice boundaries.

When the postwar suburbs were first built out on the cheap land away from downtown, it made sense to just build surface parking lots.

Parts and components of liquid propellant surface to air missiles can also be reused in a surface to surface role, like the liquid propellant engines of the SA 2 missiles used in the Samoud 2 surface to surface missiles.

12. SAR permits the acquisition of all weather images of ocean , ice and land surfaces and it facilitates the monitoring of coastal zones, polar ice, sea state, geological features, vegetation, land surface processes and hydrology.

The developed country Parties provide support for several programmes in the area of sustainable land management.

If the upward wave causes a brightening in the area of the Sun apos s surface, then there will be a correlated brightening where the wave resurfaces at a later time.

The paper examined the situation of populations of sovereign States that faced the likelihood of the disappearance of the whole or a significant part of their surface area for environmental reasons.

Effective management links land and water uses across the whole of a catchment area or groundwater aquifer.

In 1939, when the war began, Canada had a tiny population on a vast area of land.

Invites the Global Environment Facility to strengthen the focal area of land degradation, primarily desertification and deforestation

It has no bacteria on its surface, no fouling on its surface, no barnacles.

In view of the total surface of forest areas, both the logging operations carried out and the planned ones are less extensive than those carried out in private forests in the area.

Fifty years ago, such anomalies covered only two to three tenths of one percent of the land area.
