Norwegian Sea
The Norwegian Sea ( no, Norskehavet; is, Noregshaf; fo, Norskahavið) is a marginal sea, grouped with either the Atlantic Ocean or the Arctic Ocean, northwest of Norway between the North Sea and the Greenland Sea, adjoining the Barents Sea to the northeast. In the southwest, it is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a submarine ridge running between Iceland and the Faroe Islands. To the north, the Jan Mayen Ridge separates it from the Greenland Sea. Unlike many other seas, most of the bottom of the Norwegian Sea is not part of a continental shelf and therefore lies at a great depth of about two kilometres on average. Rich deposits of oil and natural gas are found under the sea bottom and are being explored commercially, in the areas with sea depths of up to about one kilometre. The coastal zones are rich in fish that visit the Norwegian Sea from the North Atlantic or from the Barents Sea (cod) for spawning. The warm North Atlantic Current ensures relatively stable and high ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Regions Of Norway
Norway is commonly divided into five major geographical regions (''landsdeler''). These regions are purely geographical, and have no administrative purpose. However, in 2017 the government decided to abolish the current counties of Norway (''fylker'') and to replace them with fewer, larger administrative regions (''regioner''). The first of these new areas came into existence on 1 January 2018, when Nord-Trøndelag and Sør-Trøndelag merged to form Trøndelag. According to most definitions, the counties of Norway are divided into the following regions (these groupings are approximate): *Northern Norway (''Nord-Norge''/''Nord-Noreg'') ** Troms og Finnmark **Nordland *Trøndelag (alt. ''Midt-Norge''/''Midt-Noreg'') **Trøndelag * Western Norway (''Vestlandet'') ** Møre og Romsdal **Vestland **Rogaland * Southern Norway (''Sørlandet'' or ''Agder'') ** Agder * Eastern Norway (''Østlandet''/''Austlandet'') **Vestfold og Telemark ** Viken **Innlandet **Oslo The division into re ...
