Derbyshire's Demographic Study

“The gentle green hills which on either hand enclosed the village, tufted here and there with magnificent trees, the village itself, straggling and wide, each cottage being far apart from its neighbors and each ornamented with flower beds and shrubberies; these with a lovely stream which would through the valley, formed, as far as my memory may be trusted, one of the most exquisite panoramas, on which it has ever been my good fortune to

Brindlee Mountain Middle School is a small rural school in Marshall County Alabama located within eight miles of Guntersville, Alabama and Arab, Alabama. BMMS was constructed sixteen years ago to consolidate Grassy and Union Grove junior high schools. This consolidation led to the reorganization of Grassy and Union Grove into elementary schools serving grades kindergarten through fourth grade. In 2004 Brindlee Mountain High School was created, followed by another reorganization of Grassy and Union Grove elementary schools into a primary school serving grades kindergarten through second grade and an elementary school serving grades three through five. In 2011, Union Grove and Grassy schools underwent another transformation when they were renamed Brindlee Mountain Primary School and Brindlee Mountain Elementary School respectively. These changes successfully created the Brindlee Mountain feeder pattern.

“Drainage patterns, the hilliness of the ground, the range of soils, the nature of the bedrock,

Below these Carboniferous rocks, Devonian rocks are also exposed. These rocks can be found along the northern edge and southeastern margin of the plateau, where strata is nearly vertical. These two geologic systems have also been subdivided into numerous formations categorized according to their lithologic aspect and the fossil fauna and flora which they

She finds it especially rewarding when she brings the residents a bouquet of flowers, or a plant, with a “Thinking of You” card signed by the managers at Belmont Village, and she gets to see their faces light up with excitement.

The geology of Pembrokeshire is well known for the coastal display of diversity of rocks and scenery over 250 miles exposure than any equivalent area in Britain. It has ancient landscape which was formed many years ago (290 million) at the end of Carboniferous period. The geological process and action such as river weathering, glaciations and marine erosion on this variety of rock is as a result of diversity of coastal landscape.

Much of the diversity of Putney’s soils can be attributed to the movements of the Laurentide ice sheet that, 20,000 years ago, covered the region in several thousand feet of ice. As the glaciers proceeded south, they reconfigured the land’s surface layer by scraping away the existing soil. As the world’s climate warmed, the ice retreated, redepositing glacial till across the landscape. Topography played an integral role in the distribution of soil following glaciation. In the hills, this unsorted till, a collection of boulders, cobbles, gravel, sands, silt, and clay, began the slow process of pedogenisis (soil formation) as plants and animals brought life to this barren world. In the valleys, material was sorted by the water from the melting ice as it flowed down from the hills (Stewart 55). Below, in figure 1, the areas of unsorted till are represented in orange while areas of sorted sediment such as gravel, sand, outwashes,

Alabama is divided into four main physical regions. First, the Coastal Plain dominates the southern half of the state. It is the home of the Black Belt, which contains rich, chalky soil, and consists mostly of lowlands and low ridges. Second, the Piedmont Plateau is situated just to the north in east-central Alabama. This area is known for its rolling hills and valleys, as well as Alabama’s highest elevation point—the Cheaha Mountain. Third, ridges and valleys surround the Piedmont Plateau to the north and west. These landforms run northeast-southwest, and extend as far south as Birmingham. Finally, the Appalachian Plateau makes up most of the northeast. Part of the Highland Rim and the floodplain of the Tennessee River cut into Alabama’s extreme

Between 1780 and 1830 in Vermont, the settlers began clearing the land in preparation for the prospect of developing successful agriculture lifestyles with the promise of rich, untouched soil. The settlers would clear the massive trees through three different techniques, including girdling, cutting, and grubbing. In this diorama, we can also see one of the cabin-like houses or shacks settlers often built while clearing their lands. We begin to see the outline of a field for growing crops. With a portion of the dense forest cleared, we see the vast forest in the distance that was not originally visible in the first diorama, along with the unforgiving topography Vermont consists of. In the third diorama, we see a more dramatic change in the land, such as the clearing of the once unending forest that stood where the fields and house now take its place. This diorama depicts the number of fields running across the landscape, including the line of trees that were described as existing as natural boundaries between fields and separately owned land. We can also see the progress made in house construction from 1700 to the 1830. The house present in the third diorama appears to resemble a frame built structure, which became more prevalent as time passed and resources became available to assist with building these more

A complex setting of snow-covered alpine highlands, sandstone rock foundations, waterless deserts, river canyons, Colorado is blessed with all these natural formations. Colorado is one of the three states in America wherein its boundary size were measured by using only the latitude and longitude lines. The other two states were Utah and Wyoming. Composing the Colorado is its 51 high mountaintops.

This formation is a very fine grain Mississippian limestone. To test to see if this was the Bangor formation we used HCL and because there was a reaction we know its limestone. This formation could also be described as gray in color as well as an average thickness of 700 feet. We see the Bangor until stop eight, where we see a very different vertical bedding. Also different at stop eight is the outcrop no longer reacts with HCL. From this we gathered that we had moved into the Hartselle formation. In the Hartselle Formation, Mississippian aged sandstones are dominant. This particular stop had a large amount of jointing. After the Hartselle, we figured the Pride Mountain Formation would be next, however at stop nine we see the Maury Formation present. This stop focused on the rock located inside the creek. Because we were unable to go into the creek to get the strike and dips, we once again had to do a projected orientation. Also found on this stop were natural sulfur springs, easy to notice with the smell that it gives off. The Maury formation consist of Mississippian- Silurian aged shale. At the next stop, stop 10, we encounter the Ft. Payne formation. Although this area location was thickly vegetated, we were able to conduct the acid test and saw that the HCL reacts in some places but not all. From this we concluded that this was the cherty limestone of the Ft. Payne formation. The following stop, 12, we went up section and arrived at the Maury Formation once again. At the final stop, location 13, we see Ft. Payne Formation. All of the metamorphism and deformation in the southernmost Appalachians can be related to the movement of the thrust sheets and stacks (Higgins,

Landforms: New Orleans, Louisiana has a river named Mississippi Rivers, wet marsh land, Sabine uplifts are Shallow, muddy seas advanced and retreated over the coastal and river plains many times, and gray clay deposited under these seas now forms the aquifers of northern Louisiana. Which are and has no mountains; they also have Coastal wetlands is a river on steep terrain moves rapidly and picks up sediments, but on flat terrain, rivers move slowly and drop sediments. It also has Salt Domes which also London doesn’t have either. In London England has hills named the Cheviot Hills which are located in England and are a range of low mountains forming a border between England and Scotland. They extend 35 miles (56 km) is a north-eastern to south-western direction. The hills are part of the Northumberland National Park. They have Pennines which are located in the north; they are a large chain of limestone hills with moorland tops rising to between 600 and 900 metres. The chain runs from Scotland to halfway down the length of England, splitting northern England into northwest and northeast sectors. The Pennines are sometimes called the backbone of England. Other names for the Pennines are Pennine Chain or Pennine Hills. They have mountains named Cumbrian Mountains. They also have lakes

Our third stop was along the interstate, right between two formations of Washita Valley. The formation on the north of us was represented by Pennsylvanian Collings Ranch Conglomerate (around 350 million years old), which is shown with blue color on the map and the formation on the south of us was represented by Ordovician Kindblade Limestone (around 450mil years old), shown by the pink color on the map. There is a huge time gap between these two formations. The Collings Ranch Conglomerate is outstandingly exposed along Interstate 35 near the top of Arbuckle Mountains. It was formed during late Pennsylvanian and is slightly younger than Devil’s Kitchen Conglomerate. Large size of grains, conglomerate boulders and cobbles, indicate high energy

The Anglo Population developed differently from the Comanche tribes in a multitude of different ways. The first and the beginning of the Anglo Population development was the Parker family. The Parker family was one of the first to move into the area of present-day Dallas, which, at the time, was in Indian Territory. Needless to say, this was an extremely dangerous area. They built the dream of some settlers, “…a one-acre fort on the property containing four blockhouses, six log cabins, and a bullet proof front gate, all enclosed by sharpened, cedar-timber was fifteen feet high” (Gwynne 14). Even though the Native Americans destroyed the fort and kidnapped some people, including Cynthia Ann Parker, it still was the beginning of the development
