Case Study: Providence Canyon
What is your opinion on making Providence Canyon a national park? I believe it should be made into a national park. It's beauty and nature should be protected and seen by all. We should shelter the land and, so everyone can bask in its beauty and land formations.

Providence Canyon has naturally created land formations that are extremely eye catching. Not preserving this land mark could be one of the biggest mistakes in Georgia. It is not always going to be here if we do not take care of it. Land marks that show natures interesting features.

Providence Canyon is also home to many organisms. One is the rare plum leaf azalea; this flower is only found in certain areas. Animals also call this land home. There are woodpeckers, wild turkeys,

    Case Study: Cahokia Mounds

    • 1049 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In southern Illinois in Collinsville, the largest prehistoric settlement north of Mexico can be found. This is the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site which is 4,000 acres. How Cahokia began and ended to this day is still considered a mystery. The people of Cahokia built more thank 120 earth mounds as landmarks, tombs, and ceremonial platforms. The largest of these mounds is Monks Mound. It covers more than 14 acres, and it once supported a 5,000-square-foot temple on top. Monks Mound is a flat top dirt pyramid which originally took between 15 and 20 billion pounds of soil to construct. This mound is bigger than and of the three great pyramids in Giza, Egypt. Today, Monks Mound has four distinct terraces. It is believed that the building at the summit was the residence for the leader of Cahokia. At the top of Monks Mound, a ruler could see nearly all of Cahokia. It would also be considered a symbol of authority, the governing ruler towering above all of the rest of the city. The amount of man hours needed to construct such a structure must have been astronomical. It is believed that Monks Mound was constructed in various phases over a two to three hundred period. The Cahokians did not have a written language to accompany their spoken one. By the time European settlers arrived in America, Cahokia was all but deserted. The name for Monks Mound comes from the French monks who settled there in the late 17th and 18th centuries. Without any record keeping, it is hard for some to believe that Cahokia possessed an organized government. Writing is generally seen as a prerequisite to the kind of record keeping needed for an organized government. Cahokia was an agricultural state and it crumbled nearly 700 years ago. One possible reason is malnutrition. Cahokian's diets lacked protein. Cahokia is believed to not have had many domestic animals so it would have been much harder for them to obtain sources of protein. Their main…

    Established in the spring of 1860, Dry Creek Station was one of the latest stations built by Bolivar Roberts and his men. Dry Creek Station served as a break for both the Pony Express and the Overland Stage Routes. Indian outbursts were common at this station.(Dry) On May 21, 1860 four men lived at the Station: Silas McCanless, the station keeper, W. L. Ball, a Pony Express rider, John Applegate, and Ralph M.

    Up early, the surface of the water was like glass, I unloaded the fly rod and headed back to the water with the dogs. Knowing that the prolific Utah Chub was a major food source in the reservoir, I tied a bunch of white and gold streamers in the weeks leading up to departure. I tied one on and made a couple casts, still targeting stumps and their roots. Just as the fly neared shore, a cutthroat shot out from under the stump and grabbed my fly. Unfortunately, it was a short lived flight as the fish shook its head and gained its freedom.…

    I think Alameda Point should be modified because there are many abandoned buildings, and there should be extra room for schools, hospitals, stores, and additional residency. There are about one hundred abandoned buildings on Alameda Pointbecause nobody uses the buildings so they end up collecting rodents and insects, especially termites. Alameda is crowded the way it is and we need the additional space for more guises news buildings, stores, hospitals, and residency. More schools are needed in Alameda because the public schools are overflowing with students,and if there are more schools with less students there will be more one on one help, and the teachers can be more aware of the students social situations. Additional stores are necessary…

    Many national parks are hard to get to so a trip must be booked with a float plane to get out where the national parks is. Some parks are more on the grid than others for people that don't have as much time to go deep into the Alaskan wilderness. Weather you would want a paved trail or a deep off the grid trail there's a park that would meet those needs (“Most Popular”). The word “fjord” is a Norwegian term for a glacier-carved inlet. And while you may not hear it invoked often in the lower 48, Alaska has an abundance of beautiful fjords that enchant visitors every year (“Most Popular”).Located on the Alaskan panhandle in the southeastern corner of the state,Glacier Bay is home to some of the most beautiful vistas of active glaciers the state has to offer (“Most Popular”).Elias is on the Alaska-Canada border and is the largest national park in the US. It’s also home to the second largest mountain in America, the breathtaking Mt. St. Elias (“Most Popular”). Many areas in Alaska have been destroyed by human error such as oil spills and cannot be rebuilt. These things are taken for granted till they are gone which is why their are preservations. By creating preservations it protects the biosphere (“Preservation”). Following the establishment of the Yellowstone National Park by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1872, which was the first national park in the United States, many other countries decided to preserve their areas of natural beauty as well (“Preservation”). These protected areas are off limits to any sort of commercial development and all motorized and even mechanical vehicles (“Preservation”). The law created the National Wilderness Preservation System that initially placed 9.1 million acres under federal protection (“Preservation”). These areas that were made into preservations would probably look good to us now but by making it a preservation it helps save it long…
