• Mars (planet) - astronomy.

  The Martian core is probably much like Earth’s, consisting mostly of iron, with a small amount of nickel.

• Greece - country.

  minerals, such as chromium, copper, uranium, and magnesium, are relatively small.

  B Rivers and Lakes Low precipitation is characteristic of the Arctic, so large and elaborate river and lake systems are rare.

In addition, rivers from morehumid regions flow seaward across the dry Arctic terrain. Several large rivers are in the Russian Arctic, and the Mackenzie and Yukon rivers are...
