Abstract The flood hazard in New York City is determined by both storm surges and rising sea levels. I joined model ‘Elevation Points’ with probabilistic sea-level rise projected areas to assess future coastal submersion of New York City. New York is very susceptible to the impacts of sea-level rise, including storm surge and coastal flooding. Many scientist deem man-made creations the cause of changes to the world’s climate and are promoting dramatic swings in the weather, such as, more floods,

the posterior, low forehead development, a wide cranium base, and finally a sagittal keel (Lewis et al., 2013). According to The First Humans, environments during the Early Pleistocene fluctuated, but they tended to be more open and wet than the Pliocene environments before them. Thus, it was warmer. These open grassland environments yielded bulky, herding mammals. The First Humans also suggests the anatomy and physiology of H. erectus allowed for the endurance they needed in order to obtain these

The debate of human evolution being fact or fiction has been around for hundreds of years. Evidence of human ancestry has been found in many parts of the world and these fossils found have been proven to be human. The parts of the world include Eurasia and Africa. Although fossils are found in Eurasia, the human ancestor the Hominoidea has been traced back to the Miocene epochs, which were 23 to 5 million years ago. The Hominoidea is a super-family, which contains many species that are existent today

Abstract There is need for exploring new frontiers and production of hydrocarbon from the Niger Delta basin for use in the energy sector. Sequel to this, it is pertinent to have adequate knowledge about the geology the basin to discover and exploit new conventional sources. The geology of the Niger Delta basin is summarized into three depositional belts; Akata, Agbada and the Benin formation. The source rock for oil in the basin is from the Akata formation whilst Agbada formation is the main reservoir

Muhammad Zam Ramdzam Professor Gruber English 101A 17 April 2015 Keystone XL Approval Act Will Bring Positive and Negative Effects The ongoing debate regarding the urge to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline Project through Keystone XL Pipeline Project Approval Act has become more interesting as the President of United States, Barack Obama vetoed the act proposed. The Senate tried to override the veto recently; however, such effort end up in failure as their vote failed to achieve two third of the

The Petrified Forest National Park is located in East Central Arizona. The address of the Park is P.O. Box 2217 Petrified Forest National Park, AZ 95028. It is 218,533 acres, after being expended in 2004. It was first proclaimed a National Monument on December 8, 1906 by Theodore Roosevelt. It was later established as a National Park on December 9, 1962. The Park is also located near the southern edge of the Colorado Plateaus, and is southeast of the Grand Canyon National Park. The Petrified Forest

Kevin Wright GEOL 204 Dr. Miller June 8th, 2015 Caliente Creek Geological History 1. At the beginning of the Tertiary, there is a layer of andesite breccia -a fast cooling extrusive rock that has not traveled far from its original deposition. This indicates a volcanic depositional environment. This formation was then intruded by intrusive slower cooling rocks that create a noncomformity between it and the Walker formation. The tuff breccia in the Walker formation is consistent with the same depositional

Background Information of Death Valley Established as a National Park in 1933 under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Death Valley is the largest national park in the continental United States even though its total length is no more than approximately 100 miles in length. The valley is located in the Mojave Desert in eastern California and is surrounded by the Amargosa Range on the east, the Panamint Range on the west, and the Sylvania Mountains and Owlshead Mountains on the northern and southern

Josh Kleinow Geog 101 Professor Mohler November 9, 2014 Volcanoes Many people underestimate the power of volcanoes and the amount of damage they can do to a country, state, city, or town. A volcano is a mountain that extends down to a caldera which is a pool like are of magma in between the mantle and the crust in the Earth. It in a sense is a massive hole in the middle of the crust and mantle of the Earth where magma can erupt from and eventually make its way to the Earth’s surface. Volcanoes are

THE CARIBBEAN PLATE Evolution and Origin Ronald Gobin B00673944 Erth 4350 Professor: Nicholas Culshaw December 6th 2016 Introduction The following report will introduce the topic of the Caribbean plate and its evolution, origin and the active physical process within tectonic environments. The Pacific model will be discussed in this paper, and assumes the formation of the Caribbean plate at the Galapagos hotspot in the Pacific Ocean during the Middle Cretaceous. Regional Setting
