After Io, is also the second densest satellite. It is in synchronous relationship with Earth, always showing thesame face to the planet.

Mountains cover 53% of Asia, 58% in America, 25% from Europe, 17% in Australia and 3% of Africa. In total, 24% of the solid mass is mountainous. About 10% of the world population lives in mountainous regions. All the world's major rivers are born in mountainous areas and more than half of humanity depends on water from the mountains.














Spaceship: A spaceship is a vehicle designed for space flight, in which it is played, about the conditions under which man lives on Earth.
To survive and carry out space missions, the man must take the spacecraft a good level of safety and environmental comfort. Then there are the problems of food, water and the elimination of organic waste.











Park: A park (French parc) is an area located within a population, which is devoted to grassland, woodland gardens and serving as a place for leisure and recreation of the citizens.

According to the above definition, our solar system has eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto, which until 2006 was considered a planet, is now classified as a dwarf planet, along with Ceres, also considered a planet for some time, as it was a landmark in the Titius-Bode law, and more recently considered asteroid, and Eris, an object similar to Pluto transneptunian.














Desert: A desert is a biome that receives little rainfall. They have a reputation for having little life, but that depends on the kind of desert life in many there is abundant vegetation adapts to the low humidity (desert scrub) and fauna usually hide during the day to preserve moisture.

These plant communities cover large areas of the globe and function as animal habitats, hydrologic flow modulators, and soil conservers, constituting one of the most important aspects of the biosphere of the Earth.














Cave: A cave or cavern is a natural ground cavity caused by some erosion of streams of water, ice or lava, or less commonly, a combination of several of these factors. In the most common case, the caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone by the slightly acidic water.
