The river Kama is an important river in Russia. Situated in west-central Russia, it is one of the longest tributaries of the Volga and 1, 805 kilometers long. It starts its journey in Udmurtia, near the town of Kuligi and flows north, then east, south and south-west until it reaches the Volga river. There are many cities situated on the banks of the Kama, such as Solikamsk, Berezniki and Perm.
The Kama is a valuable waterway to the Urals and Siberia and is, therefore, often used as a trade route. Its waters support a wide variety of industries and its floodplains are rich in salt and potassium. There are hydroelectric stations at Perm and petroleum is extracted in the Sylva and Iren valleys.
Although the Kama is mostly associated with industry, it remains a beautiful river nonetheless. During the winter months when the river is frozen, you can find people ice-skating and during the warmer months of the year many enjoy strolling along its banks.
The modern English word and name for our planet ‘Earth’, is said to go back at least 1,000 years. Just as the English language evolved from ‘Anglo-Saxon’ (English-German) with the migration of certain Germanic tribes from the continent to Britain in the fifth century A.D, the word ‘Earth’ came from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘erda’ and it’s germanic equivalent ‘erde’ which means ground or soil. In Old English, the word became ‘eor(th)e’ or ‘ertha ‘. There is speculation that the origins of the word may be from an Indo-European language base ‘er’ which produced more modern adaptations of the word used in languages today. What is certain though is of all the Planet’s names, Earth is the only one in our solar system that does not come from Greco-Roman mythology. All of the other planets were named after Greek and Roman gods and goddesses.
