Appleton Arkansas Most people in Arkansas would not even think of Appleton nowadays. Appleton is a small town, but it was not always like that. It was once the second largest town in the Pope County District, but it all started with the beginning of Appleton. Not a lot of people know but Appleton was once called Sulpher Springs.
Human Factors The influence of humans on the three sites could play a role in the differences in vegetation as in every site, there were different affects that humans had caused. In Burns Bog, plant communities have been purposely replaced with "more beautiful" plants and dykes were built to stop flooding, run around the fields and dry the soil (Comprehensive Guide to Burns Bog). All this influences the vegetation as the soil is directly affected. In SWMA, the land has been enhanced with water level management systems (Serpentine Fen).
Sequoia – Kings Canyon National Park is located in eastern California in the Sierra Nevada Range west of Death Valley. It has interesting geological features that can resemble those in Yosemite National Park. It contains various geological elements that enhance its appearance and history, resulting in an interest in the park by a variety of scientists and explorers. The park contains the largest groves of giant sequoias and covers over 1300 square miles. (Harris, 2004)
Yosemite and the Golbi Desert, two very iconic and historical landscapes, both verbally illustrated by different authors in their own articles. The two authors, John Muir and Timothy Severin, have their own style of writing, which do have differences from each other. It's almost as if you were to compare the imaginative mind of a five-year old to a more grown teenager. Both authors have very effective forms of description, but they wouldn’t be able to serve the same purpose. For example, if they were to have to write a script for a commercial, John Muir, author of the Yosemite author, would be more affective and attention grabbing.
I choose the Crystal River State Archaeological State Park in Crystal River , Florida. It is more commonly know as the Indian Burial Mounds. The park itself is in a beautiful location , overlooking the Crystal River on one side and grassy plains on the other side. There is recreational activities in the park as well as the museum. Some of the activities are salt and freshwater fishing , picnicking , bird watching and nature walks.
Also we will be stopping by the National Elk Refuge, a preservation containing hundreds of American elk. I hope to ask the tour guides a few questions. What makes the American government set aside a piece of land as a National Park? Also are all of the animals located here native to this region or have some been “naturalized”? After 43 miles of the enriching beauty of the Teton Range we will stop for lunch at the National Museum of wildlife Art.
8. Lake of the Ozarks The Lake of the Ozarks is a reservoir in central Missouri with a surface area of 54,000 acres and 1,150 miles of shoreline. The lake 's serpentine form inspired its nickname "The Magic Dragon". Bass Master tournaments and PGA Club Pro Championships have been held here. The lake is 92 miles long and was created when the 2,543-foot Bagnell Dam to provide hydroelectric power, stopping the flow of the Osage River.
How Climate and Geography Affected Mendocino Mendocino is a nice little spot by the ocean with lots of redwoods, oh and it’s really, really, isolated. The town was founded in the 1850’s and was originally a Pomo settlement called Buldam, then became a logging town and was actually named Meiggsville after Henry Meggs, and eventually became Mendocino after the spanish explorer Antonio de Mendoza. So the Pomo were a Native American tribe that was linked by location, and language, and less by political and social links.
Throughout the 1840’s and 1890’s the natural environment shaped the development of the West beyond the Mississippi like, where the best and worst settlement would be in the West, how there was a struggle for the expansion that the settlers of the West were pushing for and, how aspects like cattle and mining would influence the settlers. There were many environmental changes, as well as expansion in the West, and the increase in knowledge and development in industry, that were occurring, and causing the development of the West beyond the Mississippi to be impacted along with the lives of those who lived their.
Another main problem with Jamestown was the quality of water and how it was. They died because there was little to no rain. This was bad which meant barely any water. Since the lack of rain led to problems, there were many droughts in Jamestown (57). Since they had so many droughts, they could grow little food because of the lack of rain (57).
In both articles,” The Last Wilderness Preserve” and “A New Land of Opportunity” the authors state their opinions on how human behavior and actions have impacted the vast land of Antarctica. They argue over if people should inherit the land or let it stay uninhabited by man. Even though people don’t inherit the land of Antarctica, we still have dramatic effects on the amazing environment, like global warming. Global warming is from all the pollution that is let off by trash, car emissions, and factories that are polluting the earth’s atmosphere. This terrible pollutions is melting the ice caps and snow that covers Antarctica.
Because life on the Great Plains proved to be inhospitable to the uninformed, the Great Blizzard of 1888 resulted in devastating losses due to faulty judgement of settlers and the incompetence of the weather service. The American Great Plains held many promising opportunities for immigrants. It promised free fertile land that had perfect weather. Laskin points out that the immigrants’ loss of land in their home country made them look to other places for a new start.
Throughout the years, primate evolution has been influenced by climate changes. This is because the bodies of these creatures have adapter over the years to the conditions surrounding their environment. Influences include the upright walking adaptation that was mainly an adaptation associated with dried habitats to not receive heat over their backs. The theories of early primate evolution include: the arboreal theory, the visual predation theory, and the angiosperm radiation theory.
Each of my three sources provides a variety of information regarding the environmental history of my hometown. However, none of them is all-encompassing resource on the subject, so they must all be used in conjunction to create a more complete and coherent story. For example, my neighbor Ray Feeley described first-hand, personal knowledge of Pleasant Hill starting from 1964, including minute details of my own house and the general area surrounding our neighborhood. Also, he was a part of the social atmosphere at the time and could therefore compare how life in the town felt nearly fifty years ago to the present day. Yet since Ray is an individual person, he could not provide quantitative types of data, such as how fast the township was growing in terms of population or how much land area
