Changes and Continuities of Indian Ocean Trade The Indian Ocean Basin trade was the most significant trade after the collapse of the Mongols and the Silk Road. During the period circa 600 to 1450 CE the Indian Ocean Basin trade developed into the most important exchange of products and ideas in the world. During the period the area had numerous technological and religious developments, however the trade itself didn’t change during this time as far as geography and policies of trade. To begin there

The Klamath River Basin has been fraught with political and legal battles over naturel resources for more than a century (Most 2006). Clashes between diverse interests for the waters of the Klamath River Basin have occurred in court rooms, picket lines, and in the state house, as irrigators, environmentalists, tribes and fishermen vie for position as the user with the most legitimate moral and scientific claim. The Klamath is not an anomaly in the Western United States as the recent occupation at

Little Bison Basin Prehistory Prior to the last ice age, the entire region of the Great Plains is believed to have been an inland sea known as the Western Interior Seaway. As this seaway receded, large animals including mammoths and saber toothed tigers lived in the area. The majority of these animals became extinct to the region around 13,000 years ago during one of the ice ages. The great plains are a vast region of North America that spreads from Canada nearly down to the Coast of Texas. This

Tropical Rainforest If I were to travel anywhere in the world, I would choose to go somewhere tropical. Not necessarily a beach but more like a tropical rainforest. My reasoning is that there are so many different things that go into the functioning of a tropical rainforest, and there are still plants and animals that haven’t even been discovered yet. As this ecosystem is one of the oldest ecosystems in the world many can believe this to be true. Although there may be some plants and animals

Trees and any plantation for that matter are often taken for granted as they provide many of the essentials such as photosynthesis regulation, habitat, food, and even save ground to build construction. However, as more people demand more, more space will be needed and cutting away the trees for humans to use. Deforestation is the act of cutting and clearing a large area of trees. It is the cause of extreme damage to the ecosystem and sustainability of life. Deforestation is negatively affecting the

This assignment is based on Key Idea 2: Problems can arise when one group pursues its own interests to the detriment of others. Deforestation in the Amazon has led to conflicting interests in the Amazon region. Potentially it can affect societies worldwide through global warming. In this assignment, I will agree or disagree with the following hypothesis: 'Deforestation in the Amazon benefits some people at the moment. It also causes problems for other

Introduction Trees and any plantation for that matter are often taken for granted as they provide many of the essentials such as photosynthesis regulation, habitat, food, and even save ground to build construction. However as more people demand more, more space will be needed and cutting away the trees for humans to use. Deforestation is the act of cutting and clearing a large area of trees.

The Implications of Losing the Amazon Rainforest (First Draft) Marianne Sembrano Section 4 Northern Marianas College Word Count: 1,142 Imagine life without trees. Life without trees seems unfathomable. Trees provide us with paper, timber, oxygen for us to breath, etc. Without trees, life on Earth may probably cease to exist. Trees, specifically forests, make up for thirty percent of the Earth’s land (National Geographic, 2017), while water covers seventy percent (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration

Snowmobiling on Priest Mountain In late May I never pictured myself carving a highmark on Priest Mountain. Priest Mountain is nestled on the east edge of the Grand Mesa National Forest. Deep sugary snow and feathery blue spruce trees cover the mountain and the area around. One fine day it occurred that I had the opportunity to carve my highmark and I still I have the mental image of my territory after that day. Even before that day, Priest has left a impression on me. Priest Mountain, for me

deforestation is Indonesia. In the last century, Indonesia has lost 16 million hectares of forest. The World Resources Institute estimates that most of the world’s remaining indigenous forest is located in Canada, Alaska, Russia and the Northwestern Amazon basin. Deforestation has been happening since the beginning of civilization. Scientists estimate that half of the world’s tropical forests
