Native Americans
The first people to live in a land are called indigenous peoples. Sometimes these peoples are referred to as Indians or American Indians. This is because when Columbus had first landed in America, he thought he had sailed all the way to the country of India.
Native Americans lived throughout North and South America. In the United States there were Native Americans in Alaska, Hawaii, and the mainland of the United States. In the middle of the country lived the Plains Indians, including tribes such as the Comanche and Arapaho. In the Southeast area of the country lived tribes such as the Cherokee and the Seminole.
The Native Americans were grouped into tribes or nations usually based on the area they lived in and their culture such as their religion, customs, and language. There were hundreds of tribes throughout the United States when Columbus first arrived. Many of them are well known such as the Cherokee, Apache, and the Navajo.

Нижние слои воздуха, прилегающие к земной коре, называются тропосферой и являются зоной, в которой происходят все атмосферные явления. Здесь образуются облака, происходят дожди, грозы. Чем выше от земли, тем больше понижается температура воздуха. Через каждые 1 000 м температура понижается, примерно, на 6°. Атмосфера, лежащая выше тропосферы, называется стратосферой, Свойства стратосферы резко отличаются от ниже лежащих зон. Температура там более или менее постоянная и на высоте 40 — 45 км колеблется в пределах — 50-60°.
На основании многих наблюдений в настоящее время считается вероятным следующее: на высоте 45-50 км температура делает скачок и повышается до — 27°. На этой высоте находится слой озона, поглощающий значительную часть ультрафиолетовых лучей, посылаемых солнцем, и благодаря этому обладающей более высокой температурой. Выше 50 км температура, очевидно, начинает опять понижаться, доходя на высоте 90- 100 км до -230°.
