Using the taiga biome as a guide, name at least three similarities between north america and russia. also, name two major population centers found in the taiga biome.

If the taiga biome is taken as a guide than similarities between North America and Russia would be:

- Dense coniferous forests that stretch from the easternmost part of the country to the westernmost part of the country; the taiga is actually the biggest forest on area on the planet.

- Very small density of population; these parts because of the bad climatic conditions are very sparsely populated.

- Big deposits of multiple natural resources; below the taiga there's one of the biggest reserves of coal, gas, and oil.

Two big population centers in the taiga are Montreal, in North America, on Canadian soil, and Moscow, the capital and by far the biggest and most important city in Russia.

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
