The map shows the distribution of some of the world’s major hydroelectric dams and power-generating stations. In North America, these facilities are found in Canada in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and Labrador. In the United States, they are on major rivers in the Pacific Northwest (for example, the Columbia River), Arizona and Utah (on the Colorado River), and in the Northeast in New York (on the Niagara River between United States and Canada) and New England. In South America, dams generate hydro power in Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil (particularly on the Paraná River and its tributaries), and in Argentina on the Rio de la Plata and on rivers that flow from the Andes mountains. In Europe, major hydroelectric facilities are found in Portugal, Norway, France, Switzerland, Ukraine (on the Dnieper River), and in Russia (on the Volga and on rivers in Siberia, which is in Asia). In Africa, these facilities have been constructed on the Nile River in Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia and between Zambia and Zimbabwe on the Zambesi River. In Southwest Asia, hydroelectric dams generate power on the Euphrates River in Turkey, the Tigris in Iraq, and Iran’s Zagros Mountains. In Central Asia, Tajikistan has a hydroelectric dam. In South Asia, dams have been constructed on rivers in northern Pakistan; in India on rivers in Kashmir in the north as well as in several places in central and southern India; and in Bhutan. In Southeast Asia, these facilities are found in Laos and Vietnam and in Indonesia on the islands of Java and Borneo. In East Asia, southwestern and central China have numerous hydroelectric dams, and there are also a few in northern China. Japan has a major hydroelectric dam between Tokyo and Osaka. The map does not show any hydropower production for Oceania.

A map illustrates the distribution of calcium carbonate in modern surface sediments globally, with highest concentration found in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and South Pacific and lowest concentration dominating the North Pacific, and Southern Ocean.

Percentage of ocean surface comprised of calcium carbonate.

Distribution of Calcium Carbonate in Modern Surface Sediments

The distribution is represented as a percentage by weight. Areas with the least calcium carbonate, ranging from 0 percent to 20 percent, are marked in very light blue and are prevalent in large parts of the Pacific Ocean, particularly around Samoa, the South Pacific, and parts of the Indian Ocean. Light blue regions, representing 20 percent to 40 percent calcium carbonate, cover parts of the North Atlantic Ocean, including areas around Cuba, the western coast of Africa near Senegal and Mauritania, and the southern Indian Ocean near Madagascar. Medium blue areas, indicating 40 percent to 60 percent calcium carbonate, include regions in the North Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of the United Kingdom and France, the Mediterranean Sea, parts of the Arabian Sea, and the South Pacific Ocean. Blue-green regions, with 60 to 80 percent calcium carbonate, are seen in the central Atlantic Ocean, areas around the Caribbean including Cuba and Guatemala, the western coast of Africa near Gabon and Angola, and the Indian Ocean. The highest concentration of calcium carbonate, 80 percent to 100 percent, marked in dark green, is found in regions of the North Atlantic Ocean, around the Bahamas and north of Cuba, parts of the South Atlantic Ocean near the eastern coast of South America, the central Pacific Ocean, and the northern Indian Ocean near Sri Lanka.
