Owen Falls Dam creates Lake Victoria's outflow, and the resulting reservoir is located in Uganda.

The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and the third longest in the world, flowing entirely within China.

The Beaufort Sea is a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean, located north of the Northwest Territories, the Yukon, and Alaska, west of Canada's Arctic islands.

Globally, the distribution of uranium ore deposits is widespread on all continents, with the largest deposits found in Australia.

The island of Puerto Rico lies immediately to the south of the fault zone and the trench. The trench is 800 kilometres long and has a maximum depth of 8648 metres (28,373 ft) at Milwaukee Deep, which is the deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Durand Line refers to the porous international border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Lithuania borders Latvia, Belarus, Poland, and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. It does not share a border with Ukraine.

The Coriolis effect is a deflection of moving objects when they are viewed in a rotating reference frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the deflection is to the left of the motion of the object; in one with counter-clockwise rotation, the deflection is to the right.

The most vital oil region economically is an area in the coastal plains, the lowlands around Lake Maracaibo. 

One of the significant lake-forming force is movement of the tectonic plates that form the Earth's crust. When adjacent plates separate at fault lines, the steep, narrow gap between them can result in the formation of a graben. Some of the largest, deepest, and oldest lakes on Earth are graben lakes. Perhaps the most famous graben lakes are Lake Baikal, Lake Tanganyika and Rudolf.

The inner core of the Earth, its innermost hottest part as detected by seismological studies, is a primarily solid ball. It is believed to consist of an iron-nickel alloy, and may have a temperature similar to the Sun's surface.

Statement III is false because the mantle, which lies below the crust, is composed of solid rock that behaves plastically over geological time, not totally solid in the sense of being rigid throughout, but certainly not liquid. Statement II is also technically debated as the outer core is liquid, but III is the most clearly incorrect statement in standard geological contexts.

The Earth's layers are categorized by density and position. The atmosphere is the outermost gaseous layer, followed by the hydrosphere (water), the lithosphere (crust), and the barysphere (core).

Use of the word fjord is more general in the Scandinavian languages than in English. In Scandinavia, fjord is used for a narrow inlet of the sea.

Loess plains are formed by the deposition of wind-blown dust (aeolian deposits), not by river action. Alluvial plains, deltas, and scroll plains are all fluvial landforms.

A combustible compact black or dark-brown carbonaceous sedimentary rock formed from compaction of layers of partially decomposed vegetation and occurs in stratified sedimentary deposits.

If the axis were perpendicular to the orbit, the circle of illumination would pass through the poles, resulting in 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness everywhere on Earth every day. Therefore, the North Pole would experience a cycle of day and night, not permanent darkness or permanent daylight.

The carbon content in coal increases with the degree of metamorphism: Peat (lowest) < Lignite < Bituminous < Anthracite (highest).

Isopleths are lines of constant value; Isochrones represent equal time; Isorymes represent equal frost; Isobronts represent equal thunderstorm occurrence; Isogonals represent equal magnetic declination.

In geology the term joint refers to a fracture in rock where the displacement associated with the opening of the fracture is greater than the displacement due to lateral movement in the plane of the fracture (up, down or sideways) of one side relative to the other.

Dome mountains are often referred to as islands of precipitation because they force moisture-laden air to rise, causing orographic rainfall in otherwise drier surrounding areas.

The molten rock material that originates under the Earth's crustand forms igneous rock when it has cooled. When magma cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, it forms what are known as intrusive rocks.
When it reaches the Earth's surface, itflows out as lava and forms extrusive (or volcanic) rocks.
