The Largest Countries in the World-World Hot Events.
Honorable viewers, welcome to my world
hot events blog. This blog was created to provide the knowledge about the
significant events, notables, places, and amazing things that happened around
the world. Now,
let’s come to main point.
From Cape Horn all the way to the Arctic Circle, the world’s
largest countries provide a beautiful snapshot of the variety of geography,
climate and wildlife on the
planet. Collectively, the world’s largest countries contain rainforest and tundra, mountains and valleys, coastline and desert.
planet. Collectively, the world’s largest countries contain rainforest and tundra, mountains and valleys, coastline and desert.
As this we explore the largest nations, we visit five
different continents, some of the world’s most spectacular geography, and every
type of climate imaginable.
Excitingly, it’s always changing, too: history has
taught that geopolitical boundaries shift dramatically as centuries pass. In
the next decades, who’s to say which countries will become the world’s largest?
When 11.5 percent of all the land in the entire world
is claimed by just one country, it’s not surprising to learn that the tenth
largest country (Algeria)
could fit into the largest (Russia)
seven times over. When all 10 of the world's largest countries are taken
together, they total 49% of the earth's entire 149 million square kilometres of
land.
10 – Algeria
Algeria,
at 2.38 million square kilometers, is the tenth-largest country in the world by
area and the only African country in the top 10.
Situated in Northern Africa, Algeria
has a Mediterranean coastline 998 km long. 90 percent of the country is desert,
and much of its desert regions are highly elevated. The Tell Atlas mountain
range runs along the country’s northern border, while the interior, much of it
hundreds of meters above sea level, contains the Algerian portion of the Sahara
desert. The massive Algerian Sahara extends all the way to the south of the
country past its borders with Niger and
Mali.
9 – Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan’s
2.72 million square kilometers stretch over vast plains and highlands. A cool
and dry, but not quite desert-like, climate prevails for most of the year.
Kazakhstanis experience a great range of temperatures throughout the year,
though it doesn’t get as cold in Kazakhstan as it does in parts of its northern
neighbor, Russia.
Formerly part of the USSR, the largest nation in the
world for most of the 20th century, Kazakhstan’s current main claim to fame is
its status as the largest landlocked country in the world—and the only
landlocked country in the top 10.
