20 , нужно вставить слова в правильной форме the royal observatory in greenwich, london, is famous for more than just its research into the stars and planets this is the place where the history of accurate time calculation begins. whenever the sun is exactly over a line (called the prime meridian) at the royal observatory, it is precisely midday in the uk. up until fairly recently, all world time (calculate) from this line. though it is an imaginary line circling the earth, it can be physically seen and even (touch) on the courtyard floor of the royal observatory. the royal observatory was established in 1675 in order (solve) a tricky problem. to be able to navigate (they) way around the world, sailors needed to know the exact time in order to pinpoint how far they (travel) and where they were. however, three hundred years ago, most clocks (be/not) that accurate. so the royal observatory gathered together some of the most brilliant scientists in britain to solve the problem and the answer was the prime meridian a fixed point from which all time would be measured. as the meridian goes all the way round the planet, it (divide) the globe into two hemispheres. visitors to the observatory often have their photograph taken (stand) over the line with a foot in each hemisphere. but that is not the only attraction at the royal observatory. it also houses london’s only planetarium as well as the (large) refracting telescope in the uk, plus lots of other exhibits.

The tiger is the largest cat species, reaching a total body length of up to 3.3 metres and weighing up to 306 kg. Their most recognizable feature is a pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with lighter underparts. They have exceptionally stout teeth, and their canines are the longest among living felids, with a crown height of up to 74.5 mm.
They are territorial and generally solitary but social animals, often requiring large contiguous areas of habitat that support their prey requirements. This, coupled with the fact that they are indigenous to some of the more densely populated places on earth, has caused significant conflicts with humans. In zoos, tigers have live for 20 to 26 years, which also seems to be their longevity in the wild.

Geographic location of a nation influences on a progress of a culture, way of life and nation itself. I want to tell about influence of geographic location on a development of culture of Kazakh nation. Territory of Kazakhstan since ancient times was covered by steppes. It affected on life mode of a nation. People couldn’t occupy themselves with agriculture and that is why they occupied themselves with cattle-breading. Big number of cattle didn’t let people to stay at one place. That is why they had to move from one pasture to another in order provide cattle.

Peculiarities of geographic location influenced not only on life mode but on a whole culture. Clothes, food, games were closely connected with animals they reared. They ate milk and meat of cattle. Hear of cattle served as clothes, also people maid different thing from hair such as carpet and etc. games were closely connected with animals. For example, kys kuu, or run down a bride. Rules were simple, suitor was to run down and kiss the bride riding on horse. If he couldn’t do it bride was to pursue and lash him.

Lifestyle also influenced on houses of nomads. As they couldn’t live on one place for a long time they couldn’t built houses. They had portable houses or yurts. . It is easily taken apart (it is said that a woman can do it in half an hour) and carried by horses and camels. The yurt consists of three main elements: an extensible trellis base (the kerege), a dome made of poles (the uyk) and a round top (the shanyrak).

I also want to add that geographic location influences on culture even nowadays. And the fag of the republic of Kazakhstan is the brightest example. There are golden eagle, the sun, and national pattern on it.
