This region contains, but is not limited to prairies, plains, and forests. The Coastal Plains is divided into five sub-regions, so you will have many options for where you would like to live. The Gulf Coastal Plains sub-region includes many shallow bays and marshes along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico, in addition, is a plus of living in this region. You always have close access to water in most areas of the region. Beaches on the Gulf Coastal Plains tend to be very popular with locals. Another large sub-region is the Piney Woods. This region holds all of Texas’ national forests, so this area is practically the source of all of the state’s commercial timber production. The Piney Woods has amazing soil and the climate is perfect for the production of fruits and

El Paso is the Mountains and Basins section’s most populous city, but the region also has other -- though much smaller -- cities, including Kermit and Monahans in the Permian Basin area and Fort Davis and Alpine in the mountains.

The land of Texas was used to be owned by Mexicans. Due to the argument between Texans and Mexicans caused the battle of San Jacinto and Mexican War. In long ago before American settlers moved to Texas, this place was so rich and an abundance of land.

With this many different type terrain there comes different types of weather and climate. Normally in Texas the temperatures usually don’t fluctuate that much. It’s normally colder north and warmer in the south, as well as, wetter in the east than the west. However, we will explore the weather and climate of Texas’ past. We will start in the decade of 1940’s and move to 50’s and 60’s, and discover the routes of past hurricanes, along with the rainfall and temperatures of the Upper Coast, South Central Texas and the Edwards Plateau (Nielsen-Gammon).

Another part of the Texas legislature is The Speaker of the House of Representatives. This acts as a sort of leader over the house. Powers that are held by the Speaker include assigning bills to committees, scheduling legislation, and appointing committee members. The Speaker doesn’t have complete control, this is also an example of the divided powers. When problems and arguments are brought forward the Conference Committees are the ones responsible for the resolve of these situations. The most common position of power known in Texas is that of the Governor. This position looks as if the Governor runs most things in the state but that is very wrong. Even with the power to appoint independent boards and commissions, the Senate still has to allow these appointments before any final decisions. The Governor is seen as the head of the state, it is a symbol of the state and is the one who is supposed be the leader. One of the most important powers is that of keeping communications and relationships with other states. In an emergency where we need some sort of financial help other states can be there for us. Another part of the Texas Government is the Texas Bureaucracy. This is meant as the solution for gaining the

In chapter 1 of On the Border: An Environmental History of San Antonio, Char Miller introduces the reader to the environmental background of the San Antonio region. He explains that throughout San Antonio there is a lot of rich environmental history due to the human environmental interactions and the physical setting of San Antonio. He also answers the question of why San Antonio was established at its location. He conveys this through three answers that he calls environmental factors. These factors are water, topography and ecotone. These three environmental factors are what Miller described to have a meaningful and important role to how San Antonio was created. Ecotone is the boundaries in which San Antonio was created on as well as the diversity

For at least one hundred miles inland, flat land and swamps were all around. Stated in Document B “It is remarkable for the diversity of its soil; that near the coast is generally sandy, but not therefore unfruitful; in other parts there is clay, loam, and marl; I have seen of the soil some high bluffs, near the sides of the rivers, that exactly resembles castile soap, and is not less variegated with red and blue veins, nor less clammy.” Basically, this quote is saying that near the swamps it was harder to grow their crops because of the different types of soil, like clay for example. Also back then it would be harder to identify the different kinds of

Extending from sea level at the Gulf of Mexico to over 8,000 feet in the Guadalupe Mountains of far West Texas and from the semitropical Lower Rio Grande Valley to the High Plains of the Panhandle, Texas has a natural environment best described as "varied." Below is a summary of the size, the boundaries, the highs and the lows of the state.

The state of Texas is the second largest state in the United States. Due to its location and size, it covers different geographical areas and climates. These areas support different ecosystems from deserts to coastal wetlands, with local wildlife varying with the environment. With such varied climates and yearly rainfall, it is easy to have crops growing in the east and little rainfall and an open rocky desert with cacti in the west. The geological history is also varied across the state leading to different mineral deposits by region. It is easy to see that Texas is a state with many unique areas that provide a wide variety of natural resources, native crops, and wildlife.

Since 1990 Texas has seen a trend towards warmer and drier summers than usual. Texas which geographically sits in the south central part of the United States with an extensive border with the Gulf of Mexico gets its weather patterns from both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Researchers have shown that warmer than normal temperatures in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans often lead to drier than normal summers. The research also shows that these trends will last for more than 20 to 25 years. Since we have been in this weather pattern since 1990, (Hembreee), hopefully we are nearing the end of the dry cycle. However, Mother Nature is never predictable. Meteorologists are only able to speculate about a week in advanced with any certainty. The eastern Pacific Ocean cycles between three phases, the three phases are El Nino, La Nina, and Neutral phase. La Nina is cooling of the sea-surface temperatures and tends to bring more rain into the Gulf of Mexico and Texas. On the opposite

The history of ranching in Texas dates back forever and has come a long way since it started with many newer ways of production, handling, and newer innovations on how things are ran. However, there are many different things that have changed the ranching industry everywhere but here are the main things that have changed over time with ranching in the state of Texas.

The colonization of Texas began in 1690 when the Spanish arrived to establish missions in the region. The propose of these missions were to expand their doctrine and culture to the indigenous people that lived in the region, leading to twenty-nine missions during the Spanish conquest (Mechaca 98). The colonization of Texas wasn’t seen as a full success until in 1716 when the first civilian colonization’s began to establish further in the Texan territory. These new colonization’s mainly consisted in criollos, mestizos and peninsulares, all with the same goal of colonizing Texas (Mechaca 103). The settlement of Texas had some difficulties because of its great population of indigenous tribes such as the Comanche and the apache. These tribes usually attacked and raided the new settlers. This happened because the natives wanted to protect their land from the invaders and to maintain other settlements away from their territory. The ambition of the Spanish crown in expanding their lands kept more settlers form moving even further into the center of Texas. Texas was also seen a place of opportunities, the lands of Texas was perfect for the commercial agriculture, the raising of cattle and the resources within the territory. During the 1800’s Texas settlements were concentrated in four regions such as San Antonio, La Bahia, Nuevo Santander and Nacogdoches, and the majority of the population consisted of white
