Basin

Did you know that there are two Americas? North America and South America are two of the seven continents on Earth. We live in North America, while a Brazilian is from South America. These two continents have more things in common than their names, yet they are two vastly different continents. North America is a continent wholly within the Northern Hemisphere and almost wholly within the Western Hemisphere.South America is a continent located in the Western Hemisphere, mostly in the Southern Hemisphere

The Columbia Basin Pygmy Rabbit, or Brachylagus idahoensis, is listed as endangered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. This Pygmy Rabbit is the smallest species of its kind in North America, and it is also one of the only two species of rabbit in the world that digs its own burrow. The Pygmy Rabbit is different from other species because it falls within the monotypic genus ‘Brachylagus’. The phylogenetic identity of this rabbit is as follows: Animalia (Kingdom), Chordata (Phylum), Mammalia

protects more natural areas while providing needed sustenance to people. We shouldn’t be vilifying farmers without looking at all the facts. Having said that, the Klamath Basin is habitat for endangered species. The Endangered Species Act is pretty clear in this instance. If the rate at which agriculture is using water from the basin is negatively affecting habitat for these endangered species, the practice must be stopped or changed to prevent the negative impacts. If the farmers are using traditional

Daniel Preiato Intro to Food History Prof. Berg & Olsen Fall 2014 History of Olive Oil and its Prevalence In Spain As the ALSA bus rounded each curve, I looked out to the olive trees that spread as far as the eye could see, their straggly branches performing an ancient charade. Their geometric arrangement upon the hilly plots of arid land was picturesque. It was summer in Andalucía, Southern Spain, and the hot Spanish sun beat down vaporizing any bit

Palm Oil Growth in Peru Slows as Land Suitability and Sustainability Take Top Priority Palm is a tree crop suited to cultivation in climatic conditions similar to those of the tropical rainforest. From 1999 to 2009, global production more than doubled. Thirty years ago, palm oil accounted for less than 2 percent but now accounts for 37 percent of vegetable oil consumption worldwide, and palm has displaced soy as the world’s most important vegetable oil. Palm oil is used as a biofuel, for cooking

Denver Basin Aquifer The Denver Basin aquifer framework is a noteworthy wellspring of water for South Metro Denver. The system extends from Colorado Springs in the south to Greeley in the north, from the foothills close to Golden in the west, toward the eastern fields close to Limon, is a surface locale of around 6,700 square miles. It joins four aquifers: the Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills. Each aquifer has different water quality, profundities, and water availability (CFWE, 2002)

Technology Thesis: Georgia should be able to continue their withdrawals from Lake Lanier and the water basins because of their water supply needs for irrigating its crops in the south, flood control, and sustaining its rapidly growing population in the metro Atlanta area.

Peru is a nation composed of heterogeneous ecosystems including the coastline of the Pacific Ocean, deserts, the Andes Mountains including the glacial regions, and the second largest portion of the Amazon Forest Basin (US AID, 2011). Its heterogeneity creates such a dire situation for Peru in terms of climate change and the effects it has on each individual system as well as the effects on wildlife and human occupants that live in these regions. In Peru, the climate changes that have been taking

fact requires Australia to conserve its water by utilizing basin to prevent a shortage. One of the most famous water conservatory is Murray-Darling Basin that is located in the South-East of Australia. It has 22 sub-catchments and one of which, is the Mitta Mitta river, which is located in Victoria. The Mitta Mitta river contains 0.9% catchment areas, however, the river contributes 10% of the total water flow in the Murray-Darling Basin. The river flows across Victoria’s alpine scenery from Dartmouth

Mono Basin Volcanism The last basin in the Basin and Range before the Sierra Nevada Mountain range is the Mono Basin. The Mono Basin consists of landforms such as the Mono-Inyo Craters, Black Point, Negit Island, Paoha Island, Mono Lake, Devils Punch Bowl, Panum Crater, and some others (Hamburger et al; 2004). All of these landforms were created by volcanism. Actually, the Mono Basin is in one of the most volcanically active places in the world (Forest Service; 2004). Paoha Island, Negit
