Peru River Research Paper

Peru is located in western South America and it shares borders with Chile, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador and the South Pacific Ocean. Peru is about 1.28 million square kilometers. There are three major regions in Peru: a narrow coastal belt, the wide Andean mountains and the Amazon Basin. The coast is mostly a desert, but contains Peru's major cities. The Andes has two main ranges - Cordillera Occidental and Oriental. Oriental includes Peru's highest mountain called Huascaran, it a peaks out at 22,200ft. On the east side is the Amazon Basin, a region of tropical lowland, the water there is carried out by the Maranon and Ucayali rivers.

In the mid-1800s, Peru's economy revolved around natural fertilizer which they called guano. Guano was the gold of the time, it would grow crops in almost any soil. Guano was in high demand, as it was the best fertilizer at the time. It had the perfect combination of nutrients and had plentiful supply of nitrogen and phosphorus. Peru was flourishing but their economy ran solely on guano. Guano was being devoured and it would soon run out. After Peru ran out of guano, the country collapsed.

The most significant physical geographical factor that contributed to the development of the ancient South American society of the Incas was the Andes Mountains. The Inca Empire had villages and cities throughout the Andes Mountains. Some of these settlements were as low as sea level and their capital, Cusco, was at an altitude of 11,200 feet. The Andes are considered some of the longest and highest mountain ranges. In fact it’s tallest peak, Mount Aconcaqua, in Argentina, tops out at 22,841 feet (Zimmermann, 2013). Despite the fact that people were traversing mountains the people flourished creating trails, aqueducts and agricultural practices that still exist today.

There are twenty Spanish speaking counties worldwide. Out of those twenty countries there are about 475 million Spanish speaking people. People often believe most Hispanics are very similar in these countries, but in fact they are very diverse. Some the differences are the foods, music, and history of the people. The two countries that show this are Peru and Mexico. These countries are from two distinct cultures and two different continents.

Cabeza de Vaca’s survival or wilderness skills assisted him throughout the expedition,like he drank water from hollowed out horse leg container etc.He learned 4 indian languages plus the sign language to communicate with the native american tribes.As a slave,Cabeza ate whatever was available like berries,mollusks,rats,roots,snakes,lizards and even spiders! He befriended his captors to trade with the Indians within 150 miles of the Gulf Coast.During cold weather he also lit fire to keep him warm.”Cabeza happened on a smouldering tree that had been struck by lightning,he lit a branch in the dying flames and kept the torch burning as he walked”(document-B).Cabeza made the best of what he could find like the tree struck by lightning

One of the challenges was the part for the Colorado River near in a two called El Mayor, Mexico. The people of the Cocopah Indians have fished and farmed for about 2,000 years. It had dried up all the way to Baja California because of this.

The geography of Bolivia is unique among the nations of South America. Bolivia is one of two landlocked countries on the continent (the other being Paraguay), and Bolivia is more urban (67%) than rural (23%). The main features of Bolivia's geography include the Altiplano, a highland plateau of the Andes, and Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake on Earth, which is shared with Peru.

Multiple Japanese settlements started to increase in rustic communities of the Columbia River Basin, despite the Issei’s harsh labor in the early 20th century, the discrimination led to growing anti-Japanese arrogances on the West Coast, even the feeling had developed against the seeming Chinese competition. Nampa, and Caldwell Idaho drove out the Japanese workers this led to white mobs around Coeur d’ Alene and in Poland to threaten the Japanese railroad workers. Pressures led to the (“Gentleman’s Agreement”) between the U.S. which effectually limited the numbers of laborers that could travel from Japan in 1908.

Peru is rich with minerals, natural resources, and precious metals such as silver, gold, copper, timber, iron ore, coal, potash, phosphate, petroleum, and natural gas. Natural resources have created Peru's infrastructure jump in growth in recent years. Peru has been building roads that go through different types of terrain to include mountains, rainforest and urban areas. Peruvians have updated their railway systems that transport civilians to and from their jobs all throughout the country. Although Peru is wealthy; unfortunately the majority of this income from these natural resources does not make it to the miners and farmers that work long days in order to acquire the resources for global sale. Many of Peru's citizens still live in poverty

The aim of this experiment is to determine if the water contained in the Pimpama River is fit for human use. The Pimpama River is one of the Coast’s northern catchment areas, which is situated between Gold Coast and Brisbane. It has a part green belt connecting Moreton Bay with pieces of the Hinterland surrounds. The catchment of the river flows east under the Pacific Motorway through the low floodplain area which has been dominated by sugar cane areas and its destination is the Broadwater and southern parts of Moreton Bay. The river has many major water courses throughout is travel, Hotham Creek and McCoy’s Creek, with other tributes Oppman Drain, Norwell Drain and Kerkins Drain. The upper catchment of the river is largely rural and has limited

The Columbian Plateau is a geologic and geographic region that lies across parts of the U.S states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. The Plateau is 2,804.9 miles away from Oakland, California. The Columbian Plateau is about 63,000 square miles of the Pacific Northwest, forming a large igneous province. Over a period of perhaps 10 to 15 million years. As the molten rock came to the surface, the Earth’s crust gradually sank into the space left by the rising lava. As the molten rock

I am Dianaysis River; a girl who has a solid support system consisting of loving parents, an annoying yet reliable brother, and some of my closest friends. I’m girl who was born and raised in the beautiful city of Milwaukee. It always puzzled me why Milwaukee isn’t Wisconsin capitol, I must just have too much pride in my city. It is just a shame Milwaukee is not what it used to be. I remember when I was a child there was so much life in this city. It was safe, clean, it was a place many could call home.

When people think of Peru they don’t imagine in depth about the exploration of Peru and how it was cultivated as the country it is to this very day. One person important to the findings of Peru was an explorer and conquistador that go by the name of Francisco Pizarro and his exploration and conquering of Peru. The foundation of the culture, such as traditions, customs, and religion during the findings of the conquest are vital to knowing how this impacted Peru. Pizarro conquered the Inca Empire with only two hundred men compared to the Incas that had thousands but the culture of Peru still survived even after the conquest.

Culture is the aquired knowledge that people use to interpret, experience, and generate social behavior.

The history of Peru is riddled with legends, conquistadors, and a revolution. The fabled beginnings of the Inca empire, which preceded Peru in their lands, state that Manco Capac, a son of the sun god, was sent down and made home in the Vilcanota Valley (“Peru History”). This became their capital, Cuzco. The Incas documented their history through the reigns of the kings. However, it was not until the eighth king, Pachacuti, rise to power
