The difference in age of upslope and downslope forest cannot be determined by the sizes of older hardwood trees or the proportion of mature hardwood to pine trees as the data is insignificant and does not support the hypothesis. Introduction Forests within the same region
Winters generally have few extended periods of continuous freezing temperatures and relatively few periods of snow fall. The forest free season is approximately 200 days long. Rainfall is moderate, averaging four to five inches per month. March and December are the wettest months, while June, August, October, and November are the driest months on average. Heavy rainfall of over seven or eight inches occasionally fall in one month, resulting in excessive soil erosion at fields that are left exposed.
The best landform region in Canada is the Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence Lowlands because of its fertile land, wide range of vegetation and mild temperature. The region has one of the best farming lands in the country. This is because the GLSLL is the youngest landform region in Canada and the soil is much softer and there are multiple water bodies around the area to provide enough water to sustain good soil. This creates job opportunities and fresh local food for Canadians in the area. The Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence Lowlands has the widest variety of vegetation than any other region in Canada.
For the last 5000 years Blackstone Lake and surrounding area has had a stable climate with its current climate of a mean July temperature of 18°C and a mean January day temperature of -7°C. Unlike the summer, the winter is strongly moderated by Georgian Bay. The expected number of frost-free days is 140. As the lake is in a snow belt caused by the lake end effect, it receives at least 2.5 m of snow. The lake effect also contributes to the total annual precipitation of 100 cm.
How did water shape the land in Michigan? Michigan is almost completely surrounded by water, and it contains many inland lakes and rivers. These lakes and rivers make Michigan beautiful and unique. A few mesmerizing places in Michigan include The Great Lakes, Tahquamenon Falls, Mackinac Island, Pictured Rocks, and many more. Michigan's land was shaped by water and the water cycle over time through glaciers, lakes, rivers, precipitation and humans.
By cutting down trees, many eco-systems get destroyed and many animals will not survive. I have noticed how this process occurs a lot in Florida. The Florida Everglades once compromised most of the state, and due to human development almost half
During the 1600's there use to be two very important settlements, the North, also known as the Puritans which is a type of religion in the North, and the South, also known as Jamestown which is located in Virginia. There were many differences between these two settlements like their economy, religion, climate, trade, and the way people live their lives. With the North their climate involved longer winters, mild and short summers. “The cold weather caused less disease compared to the warmer regions.” As of the South, their climate was the complete opposite.
Mesa Verde is dominated by tree main plant communities; The shrub-steppe community, the pinyon-juniper woodland, the mountain shrub community, and the Gambel oak-Douglas-fir
10. Describe and explain the distribution of the following biomes: Tropical rainforest, monsoon rainforest, tropical savannah, desert, temperate deciduous and high altitude and latitude tundra, including
However, there are also differences between the two prairies. The climate in the Canadian Prairies is dry with cold winters and warm summers and low precipitation, whereas the Hulunbeier steppe has hot and rainy summers and is generally more humid. The two countries also differ in their mountain ranges. Canada's Rocky Mountains and Appalachian Mountains are known for their large glaciers and
The Shawnee National Forest impacted Illinois economically, socially, and with job opportunities. Franklin Roosevelt established the Shawnee Forest as a national forest in August of 1933. The forest was named after the Shawnee Native Americans who had onced lived, hunted, and farmed in the forest. Southern Illinois is where The Shawnee National Forest is located and it is over 280,000 acres that is managed by the government. The Shawnee National Forest hosts hundreds of different types of trees and plants and over 500 different species of wildlife.
Today it is hard to imagine that Wyoming was once a tropical forest. One discovers is the variety of fossils found in Wyoming that includes fishes and turtles. There was also a fossil of palm trees too. Palm trees require a moist and warm tropical climate to survive. The palm trees survived temperature rose to about 10 degrees higher than before and created an environment
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.
Gilded age Gilded age coastline has been losing its wetlands at a rate of 16.57 square miles a year during the past 25 years, equal to the loss of a football field of coast every hour. This loss of wetlands is due to pollution, deforestation, and erosion. The loss has caused has caused loss of biodiversity. Louisiana has lost 1900 years ago of land because of pollution from landfills, factory waste, and erosion.
Michigan is a wonderful place for activities all year round. From boating and backpacking in the summer to skiing and ice fishing in the winter, there’s something for everyone in Michigan no matter the temperature. However, climate change is bringing unpredictable changes to the weather that are causing destruction to Michigan’s activity catalog. Warmer winters and rainy summers are ruining skiing outings and beach days across the entire state. People are having trouble finding skiing hills with snow on them recently, and “Michigan’s winter has been a whiplash of cold and warm temperatures, challenging snow-dependent ski businesses” (Moore, 2023).
