Anasazi city Anasazi Tribe Owen Riordan, Period 6 Social Studies The Anasazi were a tribe of ancient people whose civilization existed for more than 1,000 years and was in existence during the time Jesus Christ was alive. Their culture was important to the development of several later tribes from the area of the Four Corners (Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona) in the modern United States. This paper will examine how they lived, their scientific investigations, their artwork, and their legacy.

Summary of Barrier island stratigraphy and Holocene history of west-central Florida In Davis et. Al (2003), researchers studied the Holocene Barrier island and inner continental shelf located in west-central Florida. The study itself took place in the northern Florida Gulf peninsula barrier inlet, extending from Anclote Key to Cape Romano. The purpose of this research project was to analyze the characteristics and nature of the barriers, as well as to understand where the barriers were formed and the process(s) of that formation.

You can also view it right by your door. It is most definitely a peaceful vacation resort. They have a total of 9 cottages with 18 units and all are circular, having access to the lake.

A subtropical wilderness with grass marshes, forests thick with trees hundreds of years old and hardwood hammocks (trees that only grow a few inches tall but packed very close together but can take up acres). Seems like a place to protect. Ever since the 1900 draining of the everglades, the ecosystem has shrunk by 50%. People did not see how important the Florida everglades where. The effect of the polluted water in the everglades is causing problems for both people and the inhabitants of the everglades.

The Seminoles called it “Payhaio-kee” which means “grassy water” and later the white people began to call it the “Ever Glade” (Strawn 17). This area is considered

Native American Research: Chief Pontiac Intro Chief Pontiac is a Native American that is important to the United States’ history. He was a part of the Ottawa tribe and led the American Indians to a revolution also known as the Pontiac War or Pontiac’s Rebellion, which was against the British when they first came to America. He wasn’t afraid to die for his rights. He believed that they all had rights to live in America and to live how they wanted to live. I chose him for my Native American Research because he was a courageous Native American hero.

In Cowabunga! Surfer Rock and the Five Themes of Geography, Carney makes a strong argument for the power of music as a teaching tool. Music can be used as both a way to deliver information to students, and to allow students to express what they have learned. Studying the five themes of geography (location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and regions) can appear to be a dull experience for students on the surface. Using a tool such as surfer rock, which Carney (1999) argues has the strongest connotations to the five themes of geography with it originating in a particular region (in this case southern California), aiding in the relocation of an industry, and a diffusion of ideas (p. 10), can help breathe life into the subject.

Exploring the everglades through an air boat ride Living in the city can sometimes be quite frustrating with a day to day job with many responsibilities. One should always try to take some time off with their loved ones to breath in a natural environment which is surrounded by wildlife and other animals. There is no place better to visit for an adventure than visiting Everglades in Florida. The everglades is an astonishing land covered with grass, water, mud and animals spreading across an area of 1,509,000 acres.

Many believed the Dust Bowl and floods of the Great Depression were natural disasters and framed destruction of the Great Plains as the result of weather, not human-created tragedies, even though scientific evidence proved otherwise. However, when the news and government framed stories a consequence of weather conditions they failed to communicate the balance of nature was overturned thanks to the unbridled settling of the land that caused ecological disaster. Although FSA photos and conservation photos of that era documented loss of open places and spaces, Lorentz reminds us that in America’s quest for domination over the land, almost forgotten how much we rely on nature for survival. The news presented only part of the story, devastation. Largely missing from reporting why ecological disaster came about, the connection between water and soil, and how unrestrained use and poor planning led to disaster.
