Geologists have found that the oldest exposed rocks in the national park to date back to 75 million years. The formations resulted from sediments that were largely swept into the area due to the rise of the Rocky Mountains. This eventually resulted in a rising of land above sea level. The deposits consisted of different strata of dark shale beds, many containing fossils of marine life from the Seaway (Stoffer 2003).

There are numerous characteristics that make the Camosun Bog a special place. At the first glance, the bog is open and sunlit. As one walks deeper, it is evident that Camosun Bog supports rare plants; it is home to many specialized bog plants such as sundew, Labrador tea, cloudberry, bog laurel, and bog cranberry. Perhaps the most intriguing thing about this bog is the large body of sphagnum moss – an absorbent and acidic moss that acts as the bog’s building block and has many beneficial uses. Furthermore, the bog also contains many different types resources such as moss, twigs, and berries: these resources give animals and wildlife a food source and help them create shelters.

They suggest there are correlations between significant Appalachian building events and cessations of the basin subsidence. Their interpretation withdraws credit away from the popular thermal fit theory

The article, What’s The Matter With Eastern Kentucky, by Annie Lowrey, eastern Kentucky is depicted as the hardest place to live in the country. In the article, she says that six of eastern Kentucky’s counties (Breathitt, Clay, Jackson, Lee, Leslie, and Magoffin) are ranked in the bottom ten counties in the country. These are coal counties and because of the recent political changes, coal counties have been povertized. The article mainly focuses on Clay County. There are many statistics about the downfall of the economy and the downfall of coal.

The Teton Range consists of a core of igneous and metamorphic Precambrian rocks overlain in most of the range by westward dipping sedimentary Paleozoic rocks. The Grand Teton Range consists of rocks ranging from the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic time periods. The erosion-resistant Precambrian rocks comprise the highest peaks of the Teton Range and are part of the Wyoming Craton. The oldest units (>2680 Ma), observed in the north, south, and the eastern part of the central Tetons, are Archean layered gneisses, including biotite gneiss, plagioclase gneiss, amphibole gneiss, and some amphibolite (Reed and

The reservation spans 2.2 million acres, roughly the equivalent of Connecticut (A Hidden America, 2011). The topography of Pine Ridge comprises badlands, rolling grassland hills, dryland prairie, and areas dotted with pine trees (Pine Ridge Statistics). In spite of the large area and

I trekked among the stands of Douglas Firs decorated with furry needles and abundant spruce like cones. Hiking up, I had only the forest to keep me company. Scattered on the snow-moistened slopes and dotted along streams, the spruces were nearby, standing like lone sentries in 7000 feet elevation. The tapering Blue spruces are renowned for blue-green needles, which are lightly coated with a ghostly fine white powder. Finally, I claimed a spot under an enormous towering fir and started to build.

The Laramie Project by Moisés Kaufman is a play that captures the sentiment in Laramie, Wyoming following the murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay college student, at the hands of Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson. The play incorporates real-life interviews and testimonies from Laramie residents performed by the actors and actresses. By using the verbatim quotes from people involved with the incident and its aftermath, Kaufman grounds the play in reality and prevents fictional elements from undercutting the brutality of the crime and the devastation it caused on real people for the audience. It also helps to prevent any Laramie resident from feeling unfairly portrayed, a common problem when making plays based on true stories. By utilizing his

The most important result from this experiment is that it suggested that the increase of Carbon Dioxide, will drastically increase the growth mountain maple in the covered (from the sun) parts in a forest, in the meantime any increase in the temperature of the soil will nullify the increase of light, as we know is to be the main ingredient for photosynthesis. 5.

INTRODUCTION The Brimbank Park (UTM: 37.734S, 144.837N) is located within the suburb of Keilor East, which located approximately 15km northwest of Melbourne CBD. The Park was intersected by M80 Highway and Maribyrnong River, surrounded by natural, industrial and residential areas (Figure 1.1&1.2). Some key landforms that observed in the site were wetlands, woodlands and grasslands since the located on a basalt plane, and volcanic activity was the reason that formed flat plains and steep river escarpments. Some lower plain-slopes with small gradients around 5° (Stop 3&4), river banks (Stop 2) along the Maryibyrong river could be observed as well (Figure 1.3).

The setting for most of the story is a small fishing lodge in the woods of Minnesota. The author describes this location as having “… great sweeps of pine and birch and sumac” between a few secluded buildings. Not only is the lodge isolated by

In terrestrial ecosystems, Landuse change and fires are considered as the drivers of global change(Rudel et al. 2005;Fraterrigo et al.

Introduction Plants are a major necessity in the balance of nature, people’s lives, and our terrain. We may not realize it, but plants are the ultimate source of food for almost 95% of the world population so says the National Group of Food. It’s a fact that over 7,000 species of plants are being consumed today. Plants are one of the reasons that we get clean water; as they help regulate the water cycle.
