The Himalayan Foothills are found around the lower regions of the Himalayan Mountains‚ stretching from the west of Pakistan to the east of Namche Barwa (crossing six nations). There are many causes for the

why it’s there. One thing that leaves scientists wondering about Stonehenge is they can’t figure out how it got there. They think that the people who transported the stones perhaps had to drag the stones over land. Another theory is ancient glaciers deposited the massive boulders across the plains of Southern England‚and Stone-Age monument makers transported them to the site. Second thing that leaves scientists curious about Stonehenge is they can’t figure out who did it. They know that

In the northern most world of vast ice and bitter cold‚ there is one resident whos mind seems to stray from the cold and settle back and enjoy it. The sad part is the animals habitat is melting at a rate none have expected to be so quick‚ leaving there less to enjoy. Why is the ice melting? I believe it is global warming‚ although some might debate my beliefs. I believe that the rapid change in temperatures caused by the increase of C02 Admisions is rapidly raising the temperatures of the polar

Some may believe that those living during the “Stone Age” would not be able to move from continent to continent‚ however‚ it is quite possible that did. There are many reasons that can help support the idea that early humans moved around quite easily in their time. I believe explaining where‚ why‚ and

The Geological and Biological Origins of New Zealand Introduction New Zealand has a unique landscape with many animals and plants that are native only to itself. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the geological history of the formation‚ as well as the biological origins‚ of New Zealand. It will also discuss how the major land-forming processes of volcanism‚ glaciation and tectonic plates have shaped the country and defined it’s native flora and fauna. Eighty-five million years ago the

atmosphere surrounding our planet we have dumped seventy million tons of global warming pollution into the earth. That number grows more and more every day. The pollution we put in to the air is attracting more heat from the sun‚ causing glaciers to melt. The melting glaciers have already affected major cities in North and South America‚ Asia‚ and Austria‚ having massive droughts and almost out of water. Other countries are planning evacuations due to massive floods. Breakout wildfires forced a half million

German meteorologist‚ geophysicist and polar researcher‚ Alfred Wegener‚ made an incredible discovery and his ideas were shot down by all important people in his job industry. In the heat of attempting to change how scientists & the public thought about life‚ he began to search for many pieces of evidence to prove something‚ not only to the world‚ but to himself. I will be naming even more in the following text to help people better comprehend why Wegner was not insane and how reliable his work is
