Acadia National Park

Carlsbad Caverns National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is located in the state of New Mexico, in the United States. It contains a show cave, the main feature. The cavern is a limestone type, which was created by a reaction involving rainwater and hydrogen sulphide-rich brine (salt concentrated water). This created a corrosive sulphuric acid which carved the main chambers into what they are today.

My special place is a campsite called Day Maker 23 located on a small island on Namaken Lake in Voyageurs National Park. Voyageurs National Park is located in Orr Minnesota just south of the Canadian border. It is also located on the Eastern edge of the Canadian Shield. An exposed area of Precambrian stone.

Mesa Verde National Park, located in Montezuma County, Colorado, was established in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt. This United States landmark was designated for the preservation of several Puebloan archeological sites and the vast geologic history exhibited within the 52,485 acres of land occupied by Mesa Verde. The Ancestral Puebloans, or Mesa Verdeans, associated with the archeological sites of Mesa Verde National Park, lived in the Mesa Verde region from the mid-sixth century to the end of the thirteenth century.[3]

Acadia National Park is located in Augusta, Maine. It is in the town of Bar Harbor. The park covers most of the Island Mount Desert. It covers more than120 miles or 49,000 acres. The park also includes Schoodic Peninsula, Isle au Hut, and other islands. Acadia National Park only covers the state of Maine. The borders of the park do not cross over into another state.

In regards to the geologic components of Yosemite National Park, it essentially has two main parts. The first part is the deposition and deformation of the metamorphic rocks and the emplacement of the granitic rocks during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic periods. The second part is the uplift, erosion, and glaciation that took place with the rocks during the Cenozoic period. Yosemite National Park is relatively helpful in regards to observing the display of its geologic changes. When the Cretaceous period was ending which was roughly 65 million years ago, the granitic core of the range started to become

The Capital Reef National Park is located in south/central Utah, and is part of the great Colorado Plateau. An area of 378 square miles, the Capital Reef National Park is just one of many national parks located near the four corners (Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico). Like it was mentioned in the prompt, most of the rock formation in the Capital Reef is very similar to that of the other national parks, however, there is one geologic feature in particular that attributes to its uniqueness.

Washington Crossing State Park commemorates the crossing of General George Washington’s American Army over the Delaware River on December 25, 1776. The park houses historical sites such as the McConkey Ferry Inn, the Thompson-Neely House, and the Village of Taylorsville, as well as, of course, the site of the crossing itself. The American army crossed over an icy Delaware River from Pennsylvania to New Jersey, where they gathered to make the march down to Trenton, where they would surprise, attack, and defeat the Hessian garrison stationed there. Washington had received word that the British General Howe had moved his troops into winter quarters in New York and stationed some Hessian troops in New Jersey. From this, Washington determined that

A park in Virginia with more than 500 miles of fantastic trails is the Shenandoah National park. This park is located in Virginia. It is a great place to visit if you're interested in wildlife. I have always wanted to visit Virginia.

Its main attraction is the Youghiogheny River and gorge, where you can go white water rafting and use the natural water slides. If you’re not a fan of water, there are guided walks, hiking and biking trails, sledding in the winter, picnic areas, camps, hands-on activities, and evening programs. The park is open everyday year round from sunrise to sunset,

Environmental issues, here in Arkansas, are relatively scarce when it comes to pollution and other factors. Arkansans tend to protect their land, below the ground and above sea level. For example, investigate the Blanchard Springs Caverns. With jagged rocks, sharp and pointed structures, low temperatures, and high humidity, these caverns are a joy to see. Environmentally, these caverns are beautifully maintained. (Galiano). Caves are underground, naturally changing due to many environmental factors. However, personal touching or harming of any part of the cavern is strictly prohibited. As a result, the cave only benefits or is obstructed by natural environmental changes, not by humans. All of this is said to say this: We, as Arkansans, are

It is located in Bar Harbor, Maine. When it became a national park in 1919, it was originally called Lafayette National Park. Acadia was created because a man named George B. Dorr devoted a lot of time and money in preserving the landscape. He organized the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations, which obtained 6,000 acres of Acadian land by 1913. The land was then given to the federal government, and in 1916, the Sieur de Monts National Monument was created. But Dorr continued donating time and money until Acadia finally obtained full national park status. Acadia National Park used to be the center of Wabanaki traditional homelands for thousands of years. They had, and still have, a unique and spiritual relationship with the land. Peregrine falcons are also very important in Acadia. They are the fastest animal on earth when in a dive, and many nest in Acadia. Acadia was the first national park east of the Mississippi River and was the first park to be made of entirely donated land. “Some days, walking Acadian summits, soaking up the informed silence of these mountains, you’ll want to bow to everything you see.” (Christopher Camuto, Time and Tide in Acadia) Acadia is the home to the highest point along the North Atlantic seaboard; Cadillac Mountain. Also, glaciers shaped Acadia into what it is today. Evidence of glaciers can be seen almost everywhere in the park. With its beaches, coasts, forests, ponds, mountains, wetlands, and other geologic formations, Acadia is a beautiful place to

For this week’s task of reviewing a project, organization or park related to protecting biodiversity, I have selected to write about Scott's Run Nature Preserve park, you can find the link/URL of the park below. The park is located in McLean, Virginia, part of Fairfax County, Virginia which borders that state of Maryland and America’s capital, Washington D.C.. Scott’s Run nature preserve park lacks an official mission, although, based on the park’s history, the local residents in partnership with a national conservation organization fought to preserve the land from a housing developer that plans to build homes within this land in the mid-sixties. Eventually, the local residents were able to acquire the land from the developer by agreeing to

The Independence National Historical Park is a 40 acres long park that consists of most of Pennsylvania’s most important and visited historic sites. Most of the park sites and historic landmarks are located within the neighborhoods of Old City and Society Hill. This historic national park is included in the system because of the meaning that it has with the American Revolution and the formation of the country. The historic national park is home to Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were signed and adopted. Liberty Bell is also located here in the Liberty Bell Center. Some other important sites in the Independence National Historical Park include the First Bank of the United States, Carpenters’

The area of Zion National Park is two hundred and twenty-nine square miles located in the Southwestern United States near Springdale, Utah. A prominent feature is Zion Canyon which is fifteen miles long and up to eight hundred meters deep, cutting through the Navajo Sandstone by the North Fork of the Virgin River. The lowest elevation is 3,666 feet at Coal Pits Wash and the highest elevation is 8,726 feet at Horse Ranch Mountain. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Mojave Desert, and Great Basin regions, the park's unique geography and variety of life zones allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. The four life zones that can be found in Zion National Park are desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. There are two

I am going to Arches National Park for my summer vacation. I know that the location of Arches National Park is located in Grand County, Utah. President Herbert Hoover officially in April 12, 1929. Arches got its name by containing over 2,000 arches. This national park has over a 10,000 years of history. I heard that a lot of people go to this national park for the wonderful trails that they can hike on, see all of the beautiful views, and spent some time with their friends and families.
