Norway

Norway The geological aspect of Norway is very interesting. Norway is part of a section of land called Scandinavia. Scandinavia is a cluster of three nations; Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Norway is west of Sweden and north of Denmark, west of Norway there is the Norwegian Sea. Along the entire coast there are some short and long canals breaching into the land called fjords. Fjords are inlets of water that open up to a portion of land. The longest known fjord is 110 miles long. The entire coast line of Norway is 13,000 miles long. However if you include the fjords and islands, it jumps to over 32,000 miles (Blashfield 14). These fjords were caused during the last ice age. The massive ice sheets during that period dug these beautiful land structures that we see today (Hand 19). If you were to travel the longest possible route from the southwest to the northeast of Norway it would stretch a whopping 1,089 miles. Norway is very thin compared to its length however. The skinniest part is only four miles wide while the largest part is 270 miles wide…

1. The Norway flag was taken up on July 17, 1821, the flag was based on the Danish flag. The Danish flag has a red background with a white cross in the middle; the Swedish flag is blue with a yellow cross on it.

Prominent diseases of Norway are similar to the United States. In both countries, cardiovascular diseases and cancer are topping the charts for the populations (Chronic disease overview, 2015; World health organization, 2014). These diseases are affecting the population, health care systems and the future. These particular diseases are broken into subcategories with heart disease, stroke and cancer, leading the way for causes of death (Chronic disease overview, 2015; World health organization,…

1. Meals: what do we eat and when? Breakfast in Norway The most people in Norway, for example me, eats their breakfast early in the morning at weekdays. It depends on when our school or job begins.

For breakfast I for example eat yoghurt, bread with cheese, ham or jam or cereal. Marked in yellow:…

Through the presentation of Norway in the 1800’s I gained the understanding that men were the bread winners and the dominant in the relationship and vice versa for the women, women were to stay at home, run errands, and give birth. In their society, men didn’t do the women’s roles and women didn’t do the men’s role. Also, marriages stayed within social classes. Nora and Torvald were both middle class that is one reason they are together. Also, the climate of Norway was warm summers and extremely…

Norway rats - Their effects Invasive, Non-native, and native species are all organisms that exist on our planet. They each come from different backgrounds, and influence each other directly, whether it be positive or negative. Native species are organisms which normally live and thrive in a particular community, while a non-native species are organisms which live outside their native distributional range. Non-native species are not necessarily invasive. Invasive species differ from regular…

the 1870s made the Swedish State become less tolerant to Sami land rights. During this era, it became more difficult for the Sami to acquire taxed lands, the premium placed on grazing lands was raised astronomically in Lapland and lands allocated for pastoral grazing also shrank in size. Sami in Sweden were also targeted for Christianisation, the christening of Sami as a national project was not aggressively pursued in Sweden as was the case in Norway. Laestadeanism evolved in Sweden in the…
