Since I volition survive visiting Switzerland inwards the close future, I accept begun to report its geography in addition to noticed or thence pregnant similarities to Colorado. Of course, they are both mountainous regions (the Rockies inwards Colorado in addition to the Alps in addition to Jura Mountains inwards Switzerland) in addition to that topography gives nascency to major river systems.
Here inwards Colorado, the mount corridor stretches due north to due south through the key purpose of the State in addition to likewise curves westward inwards Southwestern Colorado. East of the Continental Divide the terrain is drained past times the North Platte, South Platte, Arkansas in addition to Rio Grande Rivers spell the massive Colorado River Watershed drains the Western Slope. The North in addition to South Platte Rivers merge to driblet dead the Platte River inwards Nebraska (a major tributary of the Missouri), the Arkansas eventually enters the Lower Mississippi River in addition to the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The Colorado nearly reaches the Sea of Cortez.
The Alps stretch across southern Switzerland spell the Jura Mountains ascent along its northwestern edge alongside France. Between those ranges is the Switzerland Plateau, most of which drains ENE to the Rhine River Valley; a major European river, the Rhine flows northward to the North Sea. Southwestern Switzerland is drained past times the Rhone, which flows WNW to Geneva (passing through Lac Leman or Lake Geneva en route) in addition to thence turns southward through Southern French Republic to accomplish the Mediterranean Sea. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 modest expanse of southern Switzerland drains into the Po River, which flows eastward through Northern Italy to the Adriatic Sea in addition to extreme southeastern Switzerland drains to the Danube, eventually reaching the Black Sea. More on all of these geographic features inwards the weeks to come.
