Great Lakes region

Introduction The rapid decline in Urmia lake levels, the largest inland wetland in Northwest of Iran and the third hyper-saline lake in the world, as the biggest environmental disaster has been of great concern. In recent decades, a frequent occurrence of dry periods has experienced in the North West. In early 2000 the depth of the lake has dropped about 6 meters, which is mainly due to changing patterns of water for agricultural uses, construction of numerous dams and dry periods (Deljo, 2013)

Canada’s diverse geological background is very fascinating in many ways, and makes it extremely different from other countries around the world. First of all, the six defined regions of Canada have vastly distinct origins from each other. These regions are the Appalachians, Arctic, Cordillera, Interior Plains, Great Lakes, and Canadian Shield. The creation of these greatly varies, for example: the Cordillera was created when the Pacific Plate and Northern Plate collided, while the Plains were formed

dumping grounds or local governments do not have the finances to improve it. Many times there is a lack of awareness among a society that these acts of mass pollution are even taking place. In this paper I will compare The Duwamish River in Seattle to Lake Nicaragua in Nicaragua. It does not matter where an urban body of water is located in the world; if a city, industry or urban population are able to pollute a large water body with little to no penalty they will do it until they are punished or need

The west is the second hottest region and the southeast is the second coldest region in the United States of America. The southeast is known for having the White House and the west is known for its gold. The southeast is a subtropical climate. The west is a tropical climate because it is warm all year. It is cold and moist in the southeast because it is near the ocean, but it is still in the 60 to 70 degrees in the fall. A disaster that happens a lot in the southeast is tornados. The most common

There have many discussions involving the drainage of Lake Powell, but with each argument there are reason why we should keep it or why we shouldn’t. In the year of 1963 Lake Powell official became a recreational park and known as one of the second largest man-made reservoir in the U.S. Throughout the years the water levels of Lake Powell has lowered causing people to worry that this lake is destruction rather than a benefactor to the environment. Lake Powell is more beneficial to the environment than

shy of the Idaho border. As the name suggests, this footpath was created by Lake Bonneville, a saltwater lake that was at it’s peak 8,500 years ago. The massive lake was nearly completely drained by an enormous natural dam buckling under the immense pressure, causing an enormous flood(O’Connor, 2011). Today, all that remains is the Great Salt Lake. A water mass that is now almost 12 times smaller that Lake Bonneville. The lake has many tributaries flowing into it, resulting in a small incline of salt

I am going to compare and contrast the two region midwest and the west region. In a article it stated that the Midwestern United States or Midwest refers to the north-central states of the United States of America, specifically Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The West, region, western U.S., mostly west of the Great Plains and including, by federal-government definition, Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii,

lie in the Sierra Nevada’s peak and western slopes (Harris). When it comes to lithospheric extension in the Death Valley Region, during the time of rapid growth, the plates in this region rapidly expanded. In the region of the Sequoia and King Canyon national park the plates did not expand rapidly, thus indicating that more extension occurred in the Sequoia and Kings Canyon region (Jones). Under the surface, there are many marble caves that are endemic to the area (U.S. Department of the Interior)

Introduction Chile is a republic located in southwestern South America. On the north side of Chile lies Peru, to the east is Bolivia and Argentina, and on the south Peru is bounded by the Pacific Ocean. The Archipelagoes Islands extend along the southern coast of Chile from Chiloé Island to Cape Horn. Among these islands are the Chonos Archipelago, Wellington Island, and the western portion of Tierra del Fuego. Some other islands that belong to Chile include the Juan Fernández Islands, Easter Island

Currently, the Crater Lake region faces logging projects such as the Bybee logging project; this project proposes to clear-cut 1,300 acres of old-growth forest right up to the boundary of Crater Lake National Park (Protect Crater Lake). It would also include create 12 miles of new roads within the forest. This creates quite a controversy between the logging companies and environmentalist
