33. In what city is Berkeley University situated? Is it a public or private university?

The University of California is a system of public universities in California, U.S., with campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz.

The university traces its origins to the private College of California, founded in 1855 in Oakland. In 1868 the college merged with the Agricultural, Mining, and Mechanical Arts College (which had been established as a land-grant school in 1866) to form the University of California; in 1873 the university moved to Berkeley. Over time, other schools became part of the system. A 26-member board of regents governs the system, which has a total enrollment of approximately 200,000.

Berkeley, the main campus of the system, has about 33,000 students. Its 14 schools and colleges include those for optometry, public health, social welfare, public policy, natural resources, journalism, and environmental design and offer some 300 degree programs. A major research institution, it operates the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center, the Energy Institute, the International Computer Science Institute, and the Space Sciences Laboratory; the system also operates (under federal contract) the nearby Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The campus has museums of art, entomology, zoology, anthropology, and paleontology. Its faculty has included many distinguished scientists, such as Nobel laureates Luis W. Alvarez (physics) and Glenn T. Seaborg (chemistry). (Britannica)

35. In what part of the country are the Appalachian Mountains situated? The Rocky Mountains?

The Appalachian Mountain is a great highland system of North America, the eastern counterpart of the Rocky Mountains. Extending for almost 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometres) from the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador to central Alabama in the United States, they form a natural barrier between the eastern Coastal Plain and the vast Interior Lowlands of North America.

Rocky Mountains is a mountain range forming the cordilleran backbone of the great upland system that dominates the western North American continent. Generally, the ranges included in the Rockies stretch from northern Alberta and British Columbia southward to New Mexico, a distance of some 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometres). In places the system is 300 or more miles wide. Limits are mostly arbitrary, especially in the far northwest, where mountain systems such as the Brooks Range of Alaska are sometimes included. The Rockies are bordered on the east by the Great Plains and on the west by the Interior Plateau and Coast Mountains of Canada and the Columbia Plateau and Basin and Range Province of the United States.
