The capital of the beloved state N.C. is Raleigh and has the population of 431,746. North Carolina’s total violent crime is 336.6, the most frequent crime is Aggravate Assault at a 218.4. The economy of North Carolina covers 15 metropolitan
Hamsterdam is an unofficial legalized drug zone in Baltimore. It emerges out of the need to lower crime rate in Baltimore.
The Average Maximum Temperature is 85.8°F in July, whereas the Lowest Average Minimum Temperature is 23.9°F in January. Also noted is the Average Annual Snowfall of 10.7 inches. Scientists are finding that the aquifer could be at risk with the climbing climate. It triggers an increase in rainfall rather than snowfall in the mountains resulting in less groundwater. Reduction of water supply is also because of streamflow timing due to increased
There was a small urban population reduction of 7.26% to 7.19% although miniscule it is a decline nonetheless. This decline can be attributed too
On May 18th, 1980, Mount Saint Helen, a volcano in Washington erupted majorly. The eruption is the most studied volcano eruption. Mt. St. Helen was known as one of the most prestige volcanoes in the Cascade Range before its eruption on May 18, 1980. The eruption made a big blast that destroyed the northern part of the volcano, crushing millions of the trees below the mountain. The zone was further described as a big debris avalanche. Triggered the largest landslide in recorded history and a major volcanic eruption that scattered ashes across a dozen states. The blast removed 1,300 feet off the top of Mt. St. Helen, making shockwave flow across the land, flattening forests and melting snow and ice, making it all muddy everywhere. A 57 total
Earth is the only planet we know to have life. We have five million different species on our planet that we know of today, but the number is dwindling. We are responsible for these animals and our planet.
The pony express was 2 times faster than its competitors. They used horses to take people places. There was a weight limit for all riders if people passed that weight limit they weren 't allowed aloud to ride. Ordinary people didn 't really use the pony express. It cost 5 dollars and a ounce to use the pony express.
Andrea Cavalli Stone Historical Geology G11 21 November 2014 Life History of the Raphus Cucullatus The Raphus Cucullatus is the scientific name for the extinct animal also known as the Dodo Bird. This large, feathery bird lived in the Cenozoic era, but became extinct rather quickly due to many factors. In the 15th century, Wybrand Van Warwijck referred to the dodo bird by the name “Walgyogel,” when he was writing in his journal about his great discovery. The dodo bird’s name is unclear on how it became, but it is known that the word “dodo” means “crazy” or “fool” in the Portuguese dictionary. The word “dodoaars” is a Dutch word which refers to “the bird’s knot of feathers”, which would make sense because the dodo bird was very feathery.
The Scablands, 16,000 square miles of Washington State became a great mystery to many geologist and scientists over the years. The Scablands is a very unique area of land that consists of large potholes, tall canyons, huge dry waterfalls and just a strange landscape in general. No one understood how and what created all of these distinct features that were found in the middle of nowhere, therefore it became a mystery waiting to be discovered. Overtime, scientists began to notice the texture and the overall form of the small hills as well as the random boulders here and there which could have only been the result of a mass of water flushing through these plains. As many more thoughts and ideas were established such as the involvement of glaciers,
Winters are long and incredibly cold. Temperatures can get as low as -14 degrees Fahrenheit. There is a summer season, but it is short and the temperatures are still relatively chilly. Annual precipitation rates are rather small, averaging around 12 inches. Precipitation usually increases during the summer months.
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Antilocapridae Genus:Antilocapra Species: Antilocapra americana Scientific name meaning: American Goat-Antelope Range: Canada, Mexico, and the United States Habitat: “The pronghorn live in grasslands, brushlands, and deserts.”
Covered in Snow White Blooms All Summer Long Looking like snowfall in summer, Snowdrift roses covers itself in pure white blooms all the way to the ground all summer long. The gorgeous, very full, cup-shaped blossoms are a delicious creamy white with just a hint of apricot noticeable in the center, quite reminiscent of English roses. Each cluster of blossoms keeps its pure color before dropping cleanly off the bush. No need to stay on top of deadheading for Snowdrift to keep its clean look!
The Earth is over. It is time for humans to move on to another planet. Six million years is long enough and imagine what we will evolve into living on Mars. Earth is a great planet and all but there have been about five mass extinctions. The super volcanoes are due to eruption any day now. Mars is not the best either with its thin atmosphere. After we plant a few trees and flowers it will be good to go. There is the problem with Olympus Mons, which is the biggest volcano in our solar system. Olympus Mons is believed to be three billion years old. The last eruption was about 25 million ago. Olympus Mons is only the size of the state of Arizona and 19 miles tall. We could just move the people in Arizona there to test it for the rest of the world.
