North America Change Over Time

In 1492 Columbus discovered the “new world” which is now known as the Americas today. Furthermore, in the 1700 people from the English origin traveled across the sea to North America to start a new life. When they got to North America the people settled in two regions, the Chesapeake and the New England region. Even though these people came from the same place they thrived in two different societies. Some of the countless reasons why these two regions are different from each other are religion, ways of life, and economics.

About 225 million years ago, according to the theory of “Pangaea,” the world was once a single supercontinent that contained all the dry land. Approximately 10 million years ago, North America was shaped by the majestic Canadian Shield. About 2 million years ago, in North America, the grand glaciers laid the land of Canada and the United States, southbound as far as from Pennsylvania all the way to the Pacific Northwest. Recently, about 135 million to 25 million years ago, four massive ranges—the Rockies, the Sierra Nevada, the Cascades, and the Coast Ranges, arose in western North America. About 35000 years ago, the ancestors of the Native Americans, the nomadic Asian hunters, first

a) Mountains were formed by the movement of the Earth’s crust. b) The Ice Age left glaciers in most of northern Canada and America. (1) Lakes formed from melted glaciers. (2) Basins were also formed. B. People the Americas 1.

In the essay I will explain how Americas changed physically, socially, and politically since 1787. In paragraph two I will talk about how Americas changed physically. In paragraph three I will talk about how Americas changed socially. In paragraph four I will talk about how Americas changed politically. Than in paragraph five I will go over all of the important things that I have covered in the previous paragraphs. So let’s get started in 1787 as a small but confident country.

What challenges did voyagers and pioneers confront in what turned out to be North America from the 1580's until the 1630's? Take a gander at geological, political, financial, indigenous people groups, atmosphere, eat less, and so forth., anything that displayed a test to survival and improvement amid this period.

Historically speaking, homosapiens have inhabited the North America for millions of years as they came over on Pangaea’s land bridges. However, it wasn't until Columbus’s “discovery” of the Americas and the Great Migration, that the population of North America began to stabilize and grow to form the two distinct regions. These two distinct regions eventually became known as the New England colonies and the Chesapeake Bay colonies. Some of the differences between the two regions included motivation of colonists, immigration patterns, and settlement patterns.

Over the years, North America has developed in many different ways. However, one particular time period in which change was significant was the 1600’s, a time of trade, labor, and territorial settlements. As many people began to settle in different areas of North America, such as the Native Americans, Pilgrims, and more, there came along the fur trade, colony building, and more foreigners looking to live in North America. With these different people coming to North America, they have created ways in which cohabitation is possible, but unlikeable. As more Europeans and Spaniards arrived, the more likely spread was to happen, thus creating an unexpected competition between the developing colonies.

- In the geological aspect, the Native Americans that tended to the land did not aggressively control the land leaving rich soil for the incoming Europeans to later on control. But they also burnt down many trees to create living spaces for the tribes. Geographically it was good for the Europeans because it was by the water and all the rocks underneath the top layer of soil were rich for farming.

primates were able to migrate from Asia to North America 56 million years ago because of huge volcanic eruptions, which released an ample amount of greenhouse gases leading up to an intense period of global warming. Because of this, the vegetation of North America began to change. The cool forests turned into tropical rain forests who kept their leaves all year round so they can provide food and shelter for these primates, allowing them to migrate to North America. At About 70 million years ago, a piece of earth’s crust under the Pacific Ocean dove down under North America making it rise creating the Rocky Mountains. As the Rocky’s continued to rise, the land under the inland sea was forced up and all of the water drained into what is now

Ten million years ago North America began to take form from the Canadian Shield. Then, eight million years later the Great Ice Age formed the Bering Land Bridge, which allowed nomadic people to cross from Eurasia to North America. Once the Ice Age ended the sea levels rose again, and the Americas were isolated. However, that did not stop the Americas from growing. Before the Europeans came to America, there were possibly fifty-four million people inhabiting the Americas.

Compare and Contrast The similarities that the United States, and North Korea share are a few, while the differences are more. The similarities that the U.S. and North Korea share is that they both have leaders. The leaders allows for the country to be ran. In contrast, in America, there is a president while in North Korea there is a Supreme Leader.

Many countries in the current world interact through trade and commerce. Their closeness can be attributed to some of the past engagements which have been rejuvenated in the modern times through the rise of globalization. In North America, the ties that existed for a long time as a result of secure trade networks can be linked to the history and the nature of the countries which colonized the region in the 1700s. The existing interrelationship can be viewed from different angles which include political, social, and economic. This paper will argue that studying the legislative history of North American continent in the 1700s regarding British rule is crucial in understanding of the existing relationships between North America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe.

A transformation is taking place in cities throughout North America, which are doing away with their heteronormative practices of designing cities, and creating more “gay spaces.” This trend is largely driven by a changing cultural perspective among the various cultural groups, as well as the general trend towards acceptance for those who are gay. These gay spaces are usually confined to areas of the community where there is typically a high concentration of gay people. The locations that contain these “queer spaces,” are areas of reprieve for the gay community, and they should be accepted in communities that have an identifiable neighbourhood consisting largely of gay people.

The geography of north America has helped influence the unique history of Canada and US in that the region has been divided in to five; eastern region, the Caribbean, the mountainous west, the Great Plains, and the Canadian Shield. This region has greatly influenced history because of their unique functions such as the mountainous regions rich in fertile soils, oil and natural gas and the great plains and Canadian shield are rich in agriculture. The Caribbean and eastern region has also a large biodiversity hence promoting trade among the region. There are also natural features such as; Mississippi River, Copper Canyon, Denali peak and Yellowstone National Park. the two main criteria are that Canada mostly is dependent on U.S. for trade & commerce

“For five centuries, Europe basked in warm, settled weather, with only the occasional bitter winters, cool summers and memorable storms. Summer after summer passed with long, dreamy days, golden sunlight and bountiful harvests. Compared with what was to follow, these centuries were a climatic golden age.”(Homewood)The cold weather of these centuries lead to the growth of Glaciers. Glaciers form when snow stays in the same area year-round, and them becomes ice. Each year the new layer add to the old ones and it forms a big pile of ice. Eventually the air pockets get smaller and the ice gets tighter compacted. For most Glaciers take about 100 years to go through the process.(National Snow) Due to the Cold climate and starvation, the Little Ice age killed off a huge amount of the Northern Hemisphere between the 13th and 19th centuries.
