I'm doing a worksheet on the physical features of the former Soviet Union. There are some physical feature names I'm not sure about, which are some of the mountain ranges and rivers of the former Soviet Union. I've looked in atlases and my textbook, but they weren't shown. The one I need most help is this river:
A_ _ A _ A
and this mountain range:
_ I _ _ O _ E-Alin
I got the Alin part, but the first word is confusing because in one atlas it's a different spelling. Is there another spelling for this mountain range?

This is just about the best collection of maps online, I think. You can find almost anything here.

SIKHOTE ALIN
ANGARA RIVER IN STRELKA
The river you mentioned, A_ _ A _ A, could possibly be the Angara River. The Angara River is a major river in Siberia, Russia. It flows from Lake Baikal and merges with the Yenisei River. It is spelled as Angara with an "n" after the "g".
For the mountain range, you mentioned the _ I _ _ O _ E-Alin. Based on the information you provided, the mountain range you are referring to is most likely the Sikhote-Alin.
To find out different spellings or related information about these geographic features, you can use online resources such as the University of Texas at Austin's Map Collection (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/index.html). This website has a comprehensive collection of maps where you can search for specific places or features.
For more detailed information about the physical features of the former Soviet Union, you can refer to the Wikipedia page on the geography of Russia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Russia). This page provides an overview of Russia's geography, including its mountain ranges and rivers.
If you specifically want information about mountain ranges in Russia, you can visit the Wikipedia category page on mountain ranges of Russia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mountain_ranges_of_Russia). It lists various mountain ranges in Russia with their corresponding information.
Similarly, if you are interested in rivers, you can explore the Wikipedia page on rivers of Russia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivers_of_Russia). This page provides details about the major rivers in Russia and their characteristics.
I hope this helps you in completing your worksheet on the physical features of the former Soviet Union!
