Colorado

Colorado is known for its historical position, its mountain ranges, the flatlands out east and the population and opportunities of cities throughout the state. Colorado is connected to various parts of the US through its own natural environment. It has expanded greatly over centuries, has suffered hardships and housed a diversity of people. It contains many mysteries and stories that are worth exploring in order to understand Colorado and its history more in depth.

In 2014, the state of Oregon was the first state to pass a law that allows children at the age of 15 to undergo surgery for transgender, and they do not need the consent of their parents. Why, you may? Well, let’s take a look. As stated before Oregon was the first state to offer gender reassignment to minors. However, ironically it is illegal in that same state for a 15 year old to drive, smoke, donate blood, get a tattoo, or even go to a tanning booth.

The state named "Oklahoma" is named after a Muskogean Indian word, which originated from the words oklah homma, which translates to English and means red people. During the early 1800's to 1900's, Oklahoma developed greatly. From the first Native Americans, to the first white Americans, they all migrated west for different reasons, until Oklahoma became a state. When they developed a society, their economic practices, which are still used today, shaped the future of Oklahoma.

The town of Bannack was established on July 28, 1862 due to gold strike at Grasshopper creek. The city was small and put together quickly with logs, but briefly served as the capital of Montana Territory in 1864 (Bannack, Montana, 2017). Bannack was very remote and it was only connected to the rest of the world by the Montana Trail which lead to extremely high crime rates and a low population. The miners in Bannack earned $8 a day which is equivalent to a pound of chewing tobacco and a dollar as change. In 1865, the residents relocated to more productive gold sites situated along Alder Gulch.

Many people came to Montana for mining. They mainly came here for the gold, silver, and copper. The gold mainly attracted more people every time they found gold. However, the people in Montana also mined other things like platinum and palladium. The only supply of these precious metals in Montana was by the Stillwater River. Other factors attracted people to Montana such as, how the mining taxes were low, so most people worked for mines, because people didn’t like to pay taxes, and less taxes, means more money. The people that owned the mines also didn’t like taxes because they didn’t like paying that much money, even though the mines were rich because both of the owners were rich. The owners were William Clark and Marcus Daly. Their mines competed for business. These factors brought people to Montana, which let us pass the population

On January 24, 1848, a discovery in a river near Coloma, California changed the course of that territory forever. While building a saw mill, James Wilson Marshall found a golden nugget by accident. All though the mill owner tried to keep the secret, news of the discovery soon started what is known as the “California Gold Rush” by 1850, so many people live in California that it became the 31st state of the United

The authors eventually discuss the Yellowstone experiment and share their research results. They focus on the northern winter range which is a large mountain terrain that mostly occurs within the northeastern area of Yellowstone National Park. Here, the authors took into consideration annual precipitation and even the average depth of snowpacks. After looking to historical data for the northern range of Yellowstone, Ripple and Beschta evaluated recruitment on aspen and cottonwood over the last two centuries and found that the extirpation of wolves allowed elk to browse unimpeded during winter months. After going over data from Yellowstone after wolf

Cold, Steep, Rugged. These are just a few of the characteristics of the Great Rocky Mountains. The Rockies are an unusual harsh environment. The ecosystem is very different from the savannas, forest or arctic. Only a few animals are adapted to the low oxygen levels, steep terrain and frosty temperature. Some of these animals are wolves, eagles, grizzle bears, and mountain goats. Herbivores like the mountain goat whose diet mainly consist of the giant lobelia and Diapensia also have to adapt to the harsh environment. They form a tight waxy mat to be protected from the windy slopes.

In Reno, we have to drive about 3 or 4 minutes to start seeing more commercial buildings like the library and the apartments that are being built. In Montana, that number will go up. Aside from a little pub 5 or so minutes from my house, it takes a good 15 minutes to see anything but trees, barns, and grass (and maybe some cows). In Reno, I can hop in the car and arrive at a grocery store in minutes, to get whatever it is we decide we want to eat. In Montana, we will be needing (and wanting) to do that a lot less. We will have chickens, which will satisfy our ever-continuing love for eggs, minus the grocery store (and whatever else they put on store bought eggs). Our garden will be out main supply of fresh fruits and veggies, which will cut down on store time (and grocery money spent). Of course, we won’t be able to have all the food we desire right outside our door, so we will still have to go to the grocery store sometimes. The point is, in Montana, a lot of the food we want we are providing for ourselves, which will save time and money (and emergency trips to the store when we need eggs for a

Colorado is the highest state in America and has more mountains reaching 14,000 feet than any other state. The world's largest flat-top plateau, "Grand Mesa", is also found in Colorado. The mountain scenery is one of the most beautiful in the United States. Colorado is a center for vacationers taking advantage of the pleasant summer climate and the supplies of powdered snow in the winter.

Over time- According to College in Colorado, the job outlook is currently stable and the growth of the job is expected to be faster than average. In Colorado, this year, there were approximately 180 job openings and 3,150 were in this field. Cities have been growing larger, and a need for restoring the environment grows.

Urbanization an increase in a population in cities and towns versus rural areas (Dictionary, 2015). Colorado Springs, located within El Paso County, recently has began a slow movement toward urbanization as some local developers hope that the national trend of creating denser, more urban and walkable

British Columbia and Prairie West experienced many changes in economic, political, and social developments. The great depression of 1930s was more devastating on the Canadian prairies than other regions of Canada. It impacted badly on economy, social organization, and politics of the Prairie region. Various factors such as low wheat prices in the international market, fall of export markets during the depression, insufficient financial investments lowered the economy of the Prairie region. The economic and political situation worsened in the British Columbia during the Depression as well as after the World War II. The Prairie West depended on the farming as their main occupation while British Columbia depended on forestry, mining and fishing. After the World War II, the Prairie West witnessed Alberta dominated by the energy industry whereas Saskatchewan and Manitoba maintained their economy by the replacing the farm sectors with the economic sectors. British Colombia acquired its name in energy and transportation sectors. The post-1945 period experienced differences in class, race, gender, and ethnicity. Prairie and British Columbia underwent changes such as population variability, establishment of national social insurance programs etc. In 2000s, the energy companies made its way towards Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The Columbia Basin Pygmy Rabbit is a small, slate gray leporid that is endemic to North America’s remote sagebrush-steppe habitats. These sagebrush-steppe habitats include regions in southwestern Montana, northeastern California, southern Idaho, central and northern parts of Nevada, central and eastern parts of Oregon, northwest Utah, and lastly, southeastern Washington. The Pygmy Rabbits are truly small because they can grow up to 11 inches and weigh only 16 ounces (1 lb.).During the winter months, the Pygmy Rabbit lives solely off of sagebrush, and in the spring/summer months, both sagebrush and different types of grasses.

There are many different animal species that graze the rangelands of the world: bison in the grasslands of the Western United States, mountain goats in the Rocky Mountains, and herds of Caribou in Northwest Canada (Butler, 1995). In many cases, the actual effects that different animals have depends greatly on biological factors characteristic of their particular species, such as how large their populations tend to be, their average weight and how they distribute their weight when they walk or climb, feeding patterns, migration patterns, and other differences that depart too far from the focus of this essay to be considered in any great detail. For the purposes of this paper, unless otherwise specified, I will be considering the effects of cows, bison, and other "cattle-like" livestock animals that tend to have relatively similar physical characteristics.
