Moving the Mountain

The topic that I choose was Manifest Destiny. It intrigued me the most because how the dream of moving west was bitter sweet. How tensions between Mexico and America arose and effects toward the civil war. Ever since The United States declared independence in 1776, we have strived to move further west and find new land and hopes of a better way of life. Moving west would not be easy due to substantial amounts of variables. Like territory that has already been claimed and Native Americans who have

mile of the mountain's access road during certain nighttime hours, unless they're in a moving vehicle. Sacred Ground Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano, but it's altitude and location in the middle of the Pacific Ocean make it an ideal place to stargaze. Protesters want construction halted because they maintain the telescope is being built on sacred ground.

The cut to this scene present us with an aerial shot of the dark side of a mountain contrasting the lighter sea and sky in the background.

For the audience that is unfamiliar with the story this scene is initially unsettling. Sayuri looks out into the water, a cool gray just like the rest of the somber composition of the shot. The long melancholic notes of the cello further

Geologists has mapped the ocean floor and they learned that there is a large mountain range that lies underwater in between the continents called the mid-oceanic ridge. The plates are actually shifting because they are carried on currents that are in the upper mantle. These convection currents are what is causing the oceanic ridges to rise and create mountains and new crust. In the article Plate Tectonics it says that, “the magma from the mantle rise up between the tectonic

Andes mountains has certain, and a variety of factors that change the altitude this may include global air circulation and topography. This is because the air patterns are linked to wind patterns. Furthermore, I will demonstrate how and why altitude affects air mass across Andes mountains. The full explanation is about a key factor that changes the altitude. This is topography. On top of mountains it is cooler than at sea level. This is caused by temperature decreasing and altitude increasing. This

of those cats who LOVES dog food.

February 14, the day Swag Cat went to the mountain to beat her goal on the heart’s day where

plates (Plate Boundaries). Scientists used this theory to explain what is happening on Earth’s surface. The movement of plate tectonics creates many plate boundaries that have formed landscape features we see on Earth today such as volcanoes and mountains among many other features. The theory of plate tectonics helped geologists to apprehend how the continents are in the position that they are today as well as how landscape features are created. The theory of continental drift is that all of the

The painting by Albert Bierstadt “Rocky Mountain, Lander’s Peak” is truly magnificent. Its high horizon line portrays a wide, vast piece of land containing a Native American village besides a lake, sitting below the mountains in the background. The atmospheric perspective is present here with the mountains being painted lighter, and not as detailed, than the rest of the painting. There is a pretty prominent presence of a one point perspective, with the vanishing point being the light, oasis-looking
