A map shows the farm area in acres in the U.S. States like Texas and Montana have the largest farm areas (more than 50,000,000 acres, dark blue). States like Alaska and New Jersey have the smallest farm areas (less than 2,000,000 acres, lighter blue).

A map depicts the average annual precipitation worldwide. Highest precipitation areas (dark blue), are notably in western Brazil, Guinea, and Indonesia. Lowest precipitation (light blue) areas include northern Africa, Greenland, and central Australia.

Global distribution of average annual precipitation

Average Annual Precipitation

Most of Asia, the southwestern and northeastern regions of North America, the western coastal region of South America, Iceland, the eastern and northwestern parts of Australia, and the extreme southern region of South Africa receive precipitation ranging from 10 to 19 inches shaded in light blue. Northern regions of Africa, Greenland, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, central Australia, and much of Russia, including its northern, southern, and eastern parts, receive around 10 inches of precipitation shaded in very light blue. Much of India, Nepal, eastern China, central Africa including Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Kenya, central North America, Mexico, and the eastern part of Canada receive 20 to 39 inches of precipitation. Central Africa and the eastern region of India, including South Asian regions, receive 40 to 59 inches of precipitation. Southern and southeastern Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Vietnam, and Japan receive 60 to 79 inches of precipitation. The western part of Brazil, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, the extreme northern region of Madagascar, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Costa Rica, and some regions in Central America receive over 80 inches of precipitation shaded in dark blue.

A map shows the distribution of neritic and pelagic sediments in the world's oceans shown with various colors.

Composition and distribution of ocean sediments.

Distribution of neritic (nearshore) and pelagic (open ocean) sediments

Abyssal clay, shown in medium green, dominates the vast expanses of the central Pacific Ocean, parts of the South Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. Calcareous ooze, depicted in lighter green, is found prominently in the North and South Atlantic Ocean, around the equator in the Pacific Ocean, and near the western coasts of South America and Central America. It is also found in the South Indian Ocean. Continental (lithogenous) sediments, marked in light blue-green, are concentrated along the continental margins, particularly around the Mediterranean Sea, the eastern and western coasts of North America, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the coastlines of Africa, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Diatomaceous sediments, shown in medium blue-green, are prevalent in regions near the Antarctic Circle, indicating cold, nutrient-rich waters. Radiolarian sediments, highlighted in forest green, are scattered in parts of the central Pacific and Indian Oceans. Other types of sediments, represented in dark green, are found in patches across oceanic regions.
