Isar Highway (1)
The Isar () is a river in Austria and in Bavaria, Germany. Its source is in the Karwendel mountain range of the Alps. The Isar river enters Germany near Mittenwald and flows through Krün, Wallgau, Bad Tölz, Munich, and Landshut before reaching the Danube near Deggendorf. With 295 km length, it is among the longest rivers in Bavaria. It is Germany's second most important tributary of the Danube. Etymology One theory is that the name ''Isar'' stems from ''*es'' or ''*is'' in the Indo-European languages, meaning "flowing water", and later turned into a word with a meaning narrowed to frozen water (hence English ''ice'', ) in Proto-Germanic. The name itself is mentioned for the first time in 763 as ''Isura''. Related names include: *Eisack / Isarco (Italy) *Ésera (Spain) *Isar (Spanish town, in the province of Burgos) * Isauro (Italy) *Isère (France) * Isel (Austria) *IJssel (Netherlands; known to Romans as ''Isala'') * IJzer/Yser (Belgium) * Isonzo (Slovenia, Italy) * Jize ...

Sport Utility Vehicle
A sport utility vehicle (SUV) is a car classification that combines elements of road-going passenger cars with features from off-road vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive. There is no commonly agreed-upon definition of an SUV, and usage of the term varies between countries. Thus, it is "a loose term that traditionally covers a broad range of vehicles with four-wheel drive." Some definitions claim that an SUV must be built on a light truck chassis; however, broader definitions consider any vehicle with off-road design features to be an SUV. A crossover SUV is often defined as an SUV built with a unibody construction (as with passenger cars); however, the designations are increasingly blurred because of the capabilities of the vehicles, the labelling by marketers, and the electrification of new models. The predecessors to SUVs date back to military and low-volume models from the late 1930s, and the four-wheel-drive station wagons and carryalls that b ...

Shipping Companies Of Germany
Freight transport, also referred to as freight forwarding, is the physical process of transporting commodities and merchandise goods and cargo. The term shipping originally referred to transport by sea but in American English, it has been extended to refer to transport by land or air (International English: "carriage") as well. "Logistics", a term borrowed from the military environment, is also used in the same sense. History Prehistoric Era Initial human civilization relied heavily on domesticated animals, such as horses, camels, and donkeys, to transport their goods. The invention of the wheel in Mesopotamia in 5000BC improved this efficiency by allowing for carts and carriages to be created, which animals could pull. Classical Era Romans The Romans built a vast network of roads, which facilitated trade across the numerous cities in its empire.

The term is usually given to marine oil spills, where oil is released into the ocean or coastal waters, but spills may also occur on land.

These spills can have severe environmental and economic consequences.
