Zeus

was for many Greeks, the king of the gods. He is shown this way in Homer'sIiad , for example
He is a Sky god: people thought of him as on top of a mountain (MountOlympus), and when he is angry he throws lightning bolts out of the sky at people. Zeus probably was not worshipped in Greece before the Indo- European arrived there in the Middle Bronze Age.
He is an Indo-European god, and he is basically the same as other Indo- European sky gods like Jupiter (this is really even the same world: Ju= Zeus and piter means father or Odin. He's related to Indra, a Hindu sky god, the son of Dyeus Pita.
In some ways Zeus represents the Indo-Europeans in the minds of the later Greeks. When he arrived in Greece, he seems to have married the local earth goddess, Demeter (De for earth and meter means mother). This may be a sort of religious representation or memory of the actual mixing that took place between the invaders and the local people in the Middle Bronze Age. It is also a fertility ritual, where as with Gaia the sky and the earth come together to make the grain grow: and the child of Zeus& Demeter is Persephone, the Grain.
In other ways, people thought of Zeus as representing the father in psychological terms. People who had real problems with their own fathers might think of Zeus as a sort of ideal father, for instance. In the story of Phaeton, we see Zeus playing the part of the wise father.
Other people might see Zeus more as a way of explaining why sometimes good things happen to you and sometimes bad things: if good things happened, they would say, that was because you had done something that pleased Zeus, and if bad things happened you had done something wrong, and you needed to try to make Zeus happy now. The story of Prometheus explains how this works.
Although Zeus was not really related to any Egyptian gods, Greek people who traveled to Egypt thought that Zeus was Like the Egyptian god of the air and wind, whose name was Amon.

The Arctic

The Arctic is the region around the Earth's North Pole, opposite the Antarctic region around The South Pole. The Arctic includes the Arctic Ocean (which overlies the North Pole) and parts of Canada, Greenland, (a Territory of Denmark), Russia, the United States (Alaska), Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland.

Appalachian

Appalachian is mostly located in the United States but extends into southeastern Canada, forming a zone from 100to 300 miles wide, running from the island of Newfoundland 1,500 miles south-westward to central Alabama in the United States. The system is divided into a series of ranges, with the individual mountains averaging around 3,000 ft. The highest of the group is Mount Mitchell in North Carolina at 6,684 feet, which is the highest point in the United States east of the Mississippi River.

The Great Lakes

The Great Lakes – St. Lawrence forest region occupies a broad geographic range primarily in Ontario and Quebec. This region is distinguished by the presence of eastern White and Red pines and eastern hemlock and Yellow birch.

The Canadian Shield

The Canadian Shield also called the Laurentian Plateau, is a massive geological shield covered by a thin layer of soil that forms the nucleus of the North American or Laurentia creation. It is an area mainly covered by igneous rock which relates to its long volcanic history. It has a deep, common, joined bedrock region in eastern and central Canada and stretches north from the Great Lakes to the Arctic Ocean, covering over half of Canada; it also extends south into the northern reaches of the United States. Population is scarce, and industrial development is minimal, although the region has a large hydroelectric power potential.

The Interior plains

The Interior plains Region of the United States and Canada falls within this area. The Interior plains were often covered by shallow inland seas. Sediments from the shield and the Rocky Mountains were deposited in these seas over millions of years. Eventually the Sediments were composed by the weight of the layers above into sedimentary rock. Part of the sedimentary rock deposited in these areas consists of coral reefs that formed close to the surface of seas during the Paleozoic era.
