By the 1630s, about 1.5 million pounds of tobacco was hauled out of Chesapeake Bay (and almost 40 million towards the 1700s). The Chespeake was hospitable for tobacco cultivation and it blew up the tobacco economy. Sir William Berkeley became governor of Virginia in 1642. He didn’t like that most of his people were poor, unhappy, and armed, but he didn’t help them out of that either.

Sediments forms when rocks and soil erode or weather. About 5.2 million tons of sediment enter the bay every year. When

My hypothesis was correct, the 100% Bay Laurel Solution worked most effectively as compared to the other solution. My data supports my hypothesis by showing that the 100% Bay Laurel controlled the dandelions within four days. The 75% Bay Laurel solution controlled the dandelions within six days, the 50% Bay Laurel solution controlled the dandelion within seven days. The control group, however, was not able to control the dandelion in the given time. The most important part of the experiment was

Energy East is a proposed 4,600-kilometre pipeline by the Calgary-based energy corporation TransCanada. It would stretch from Alberta to New Brunswick, an export terminal. The pipeline, if built could carry up to 1.1 Million barrels of crude oil per day. The pipeline would be built by transforming an existing pipeline and adding more to the pipeline. Travelling through these pipelines would be a cocktail of toxic chemicals including Benzene a known poisonous chemical, refined into oil. This is very

The New England region was a more religiously strict yet diverse area compared to that of the Chesapeake Bay. The development of religion in the two regions came from separate

This area affected is the central to the Eastern side of Canada, where temperatures are warmer because of the lower latitude. As a result, the Canadian Shield gets a high amount of rainfall, ranging from 300 to
