How Did Water Shaped Michigan

The west beach at Manchester State Park consists of roughly 200m of exposed outcrops with well bedded strata of consisting of the Blakeley formation, of Oligocene age, and poorly consolidated beds of Quaternary age. The northern boundary of the area of interest begins at the southern edge of Middle Point and area terminates at Clam Bay to the south.

In the years 1632 t0 1639, Father Paul Le Jeune was the superior of the Jesuits of Quebec. Le Jeune, along with other Jesuits, was on a mission to seek salvation for thousands of First Nations Aboriginals who resided in North America. Many scholars argue that while the Jesuits stated their purpose to come to Canada was to Christianize the First Nations people, their activity coincided with a breakdown of the First Nations customs and beliefs. Other scholars have argued that this was not entirely an oppressive situation, as First Nations women were able to find themselves an avenue of power in their community and over their new French trader Husbands.

Saturn is the second largest planet and sixth number planet of our solar system. Saturn is a gas giant made up of hydrogen and helium. It is big enough to hold more than 760 Earths within it, and is second massive planet after Jupiter, roughly 95 times Earth 's mass. However, Saturn has the lowest density among all the planets of solar system .It spins faster than any other planet except Jupiter which help Saturn with its magnetic field which is about 578 times more powerful than Earth 's. Although Saturn has at least 62 moons but its largest moon, Titan, is slightly bigger than Mercury, and is the second-largest moon in the solar system after Jupiter 's moon Ganymede (our moon is fifth largest).Although it is the most interesting planet

The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was of the most powerful natural disasters of the 1900’s in 11 states along the Mississippi River from Illinois to Louisiana. The flood lasted from the beginning of April, through May, June and July and finally ended in August. During the flood, the river got to be as wide as 80 miles in some places and submerged residential areas in as much as 30 feet of water. The flood affected multiple states and the country in countless ways. Some of the ways it changed the country was in a social and political way. It brought the continuous mistreatment of African Americans once again apparent. It also devastated many states in economic and personal ways. Homes and businesses were destroyed, loved ones were lost and

All of these landforms have distinct features that separate them apart from each other. For example, the Interior Plains contain very flat regions of land suitable for growing crops, while the Great Lakes/Saint Lawrence Lowlands contain large bodies of fresh water. As a result of these diverse landform regions, a large amount of natural resources are available to Canada for usage. Likewise, the diversity of landform regions also increases the amount of biodiversity that is available within Canada. Moreover, in contrast to other places in the world that do not have many different landform regions, such as Alaska, the beauty and marvel of Canada 's landform regions are unmatched. This ends up drawing people into the country to observe Canada 's wide variety of different land regions.

New York, the city of dreams, the land of riches, all because of the great canal. Begun in the 1817 and opened in its entirety 1825, the Erie Canal is considered the engineering marvel of the 19th century and will be that way for many years to come. The canal was 363 miles long and connected New York to the Great Lakes. The once derided as "Clinton's Folly" which is now known as the Erie Canal alternated by creating a vibrant economy, spreading religion, and growth in population along the new transportation network.

For those Buffalonians who are old enough to remember it, the Blizzard of 1977 is a memory that has been seared into their consciousness. January 28th 1977, began as a normal day for the city of Buffalo, but by twelve noon the wind picked up, snow began to fall, and visibility became dangerously limited. As the wind began to intensify out of the west and sweep across the frozen wasteland of Lake Erie, it carried with it the lightly packed snow that had blanketed the frozen lake. An event of historical proportions was beginning to unfold in rapid time right in front of people’s eyes. Accumulating more and more snow as the wind moved eastward, the wind was carrying so much snow that it created white out conditions in the city and surrounding area. Meteorologist David Zaff observed the scene, “the heavy sustained winds ‘took all the snow off the lake and dumped it onto the Greater Buffalo area, from St. Catharines all the way to Buffalo.’” Hurricane force winds that created subarctic wind chills, and large amounts of snowfall coupled with unusually cold temperatures, culminated to create the proverbial perfect storm. The statistics speak to how horrible the storm really was. In the end it resulted in 300

Jamestown was a colony that was established along and around the James River or current day Virginia, by England in 1607. They believed that coming here would bring them riches, be able to convert Natives to Christianity. But between 1607-1610 lots of the colonists did not survive to live a long life in the New World. I believe the reason several Jamestown colonists died was due to the lack of food, lack of water, and the conflict with the Native Americans.

The 19th century was a pivotal point in our state’s foundation. That being said, one cannot discuss the imperativeness of Wisconsin and its connection to the outside world without maintaining its staples of industry at the forefront of conversation. Though Wisconsin brought a cornucopia of cultures and new ideas into it from Europe in the 1800s, the chief bridge between it and the rest of the world is, unequivocally, its labor complex and the fruits it bore.

Governor Rick Snyder caused one of the biggest disasters in Michigan. The flint water crisis. Governor Snyder switched the Flint water system which was connected to the Detroit water system to the Flint River. And right away people started noticing severe changes to their water. This was caused from the water pipes corroding and lead leaking into the water. The water that everyone uses, and that we all need to drink. The water started corroding GM’s car parts because of the flint river water. So Governor Snyder switched the GM’s water system back to the Detroit system and he left the rest of flint drinking lead contaminated water. Many people believe that Governor Rick Snyder should be recalled for many reasons.

After seven weeks of studying the history of Ohio I have gained extensive knowledge of the state. Not only has my understanding of the state’s history broadened, but my view of Ohio in general has been elevated. I’ve learned about how geography has affected Ohio’s growth and development, and also how Ohio has influenced the growth and development of the nation. Ohio has played a major role in our country socially, economically, and politically.

However, as the American population increased, most people moved and settled in these areas. To the west side, there were hundreds of thousands of miles of open fertile land having mountains, forests, rivers, and plains. The earliest inhabitants of the area were mainly the Spanish-Mexicans and the indigenous people. The land was bought explored and taken over by the Unites States Government. The immigrants from Europe were settled in the area. The first batch of people was settled along the western sides of the Mississippi river after the US government purchased Louisiana area. Other immigrants were settled on the west to California. After the immigrants relocated to these regions, mines, railroads, farms and several industries sprung up. After settling, these areas grew to the current cities and towns as populations increased, more land was occupied and more developments initiated and done in the areas. Centers such as Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa and Minnesota all grew into towns due to the increased development activities and increased population. The growth can mainly be attributed to economic activities. Different towns developed because of the different economic activities. For instance, Northern Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin cities grew due to mining activities. The Midwest cities such as Ohio and Illinois attracted farmers seeking rich natural resources (Billington

Mni Sota, micoke – Dakota translation as ‘home of the cloud tinted waters’, Minnesota - Known by North Americans as the ‘Land of 10,000 Lakes’, lies at the northern end of the Mississippi River and the westernmost point of the inland waterway that extends through the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway to the Atlantic Ocean. The Ojibwe and the Dakota were among the Native people who first made this land their home. European settlement in the area began in1820 with the establishment of Fort Snelling. By 1849, Minnesota became a U.S. territory and on May 11, 1858, Minnesota entered the Union of the United States. The settlers flooded in. The Dakota were being squeezed into smaller areas. Moving from previously prime hunting and fishing grounds to increasing smaller non-productive reservations, harsh winters and low supplies created times that that left many native families hungry and frustrated.

At the Permian and Triassic eras, we had ‘supercontinents’. Continental drift makes the Earth’s climate change in many ways, ocean currents being one of them. When a continent is close to a large body of water, the water averages the temperature and administers more moisture. The ocean currents are responsible for moving water around the Earth. If land masses move closer to the North Pole, the

Water is crucial to our survival! Water is one of the scarcest commodities in the world at the moment; some argue that it is scarcer than oil. Wars have been fought over oil; therefore a war over water is a very big possibility in the years to come on this planet. With the current growth of the world’s population and the increase in demand for water in the agricultural industry, the issue of water scarcity is very likely to get worse and worse (Gupta, 2016). This essay will therefore critically discuss water scarcity and how one can prevent a war fought over water, as well as how one can save water and implement change to better our future nationally and globally.
