Exercise VII. Translate the following text into Russian.
Для основной территории характерны следующие типы климата: умеренный и субтропический морской на побережье Тихого океана, континентельно-морской на Атлантическом побережье, континентальный на Внутренних равнинах и резко континентальный на внутреннем плато и плоскогорьях Кордильер. Северная часть Аляски имеет арктический климат с очень суровой зимой и холодным летом, центральные и южные районы – субарктический морской на Юге и континентальный на плоскогорье Юкон. Контрасты в климатических условиях разных районов наиболее резко выражены зимой. Наиболее низкие температуры наблюдались на плоскогорье Юкон (- 64 °С). Температуры ниже 0 °С отмечаются зимой на всей территории, кроме юго-западной части (штат Калифорния), южной части полуострова Флорида и Гавайских островов. Летом различия в температурах не так велики (кроме районов внутреннего плато Кордильер, где удерживается очень жаркая погода). Средняя температура июля: в Сан-Франциско 14 °С, в Нью-Йорке 23 °С, в Вашингтоне 25 °С, в Новом Орлеане 27 °С. Наиболее высокая температура (56,7 °С – самая высокая в Западном полушарии) – в Долине Смерти. Атмосфера характеризуется значительным загрязнением, особенно над крупными городами и промышленными центрами; ежегодно над территорией страны в атмосферу поступает до 215 млн тонн пыли, а также ядовитых газов.

Ежегодно смывается водами и уносится ветром 3 млрд т почвы. Наблюдаются пыльные бури. Становится более интенсивным засоление почв, загрязнение их отходами промышленного производства и пестицидами.
