the region was the end result of weathering and erosion from rivers of the nearby flat-early sedimentary rock. During the Paleozoic era‚ glacial erosion shaped the lakes into sedimentary rock. Withdrawing glaciers washed up large portions of sands‚ silts‚ and gravels as flat plains and rolling hills. Due to the Great Lakes‚ the climate is humid‚ the lakes provide the moisture in the air. The Great Lakes- Lawrence Lowlands is close to the equator which also makes the weather humid. Although it is uncommon

Environmental Chemistry Assignment 3: Acidity in natural water may be caused by several factors. Describe these factors and explain how they contribute to the acidity of water. The acidity in natural water can be caused by the bedrock and soil composition of the area around the stream. This factor can be considered as one of the most important factor that influence the pH of the water. Soils contain calcium‚ limestone and a layer of sand or gravel with a granite base. The calcium and limestone

The characteristics of a sandy shore at Pallarenda beach‚ Townsville‚ North Queensland. Introduction: The sandy shores of beaches can be considered as a very harsh environment to live in (Ted Klenk‚ 1999). Survival in such a habitat requires an organism to withstand strong wave and current action‚ tidal rise and fall‚ unstable substrate‚ heavy predation and wide variations in salinity and temperature (The Otter Island Project). Any organism found in this type of harsh environment is specialized

SPECIES DIVERSITY IN POOL AND RIFFLES OF A LOTIC TROPICAL SYSTEM Abstract This study looked at species adaptations to different substrate type‚ current velocity‚ dissolved oxygen and depth that allows for the specialized utilization of the microhabitats found and how this was responsible for similarities and differences in species diversity in pools and riffles. The riffle was seen as the more diverse mesohabitat. Of the 47 species found‚ the riffle had 37 of these organisms present. The

SOIL EROSION Janeen Uy I BS MANAGEMENT ES 10 J Submitted to: Dr. Severino Salmo III March 8‚ 2012 Soil is found on the Earth’s crust and formed through weathering and decay of organisms. It may be considered dirt to a lot of people but it is highly an important tool for our survival. The soil holds the roots of the plants where nutrients are stored. It is important since it enables the soil to store and regulate the flow of water‚ filters the pollutants and improves the soil’s quality

moving water‚ ice‚ or wind. Sediments along rivers have different textures‚ depending on whether the stream moves quickly or slowly. Fast-moving water leaves gravel‚ rocks‚ and sand. Slow-moving water and lakes leave fine textured material (clay and silt) when sediments in the water settle out. Climate. Soils vary‚ depending on the climate. Temperature and moisture amounts cause different patterns of weathering and leaching. Wind redistributes sand and other particles especially in arid regions. The

However‚ unlike the above conglomerate‚ the clasts are not imbricated. The matrix supporting this conglomerate was a comprised of feldspar rich silt to sands but also included an abundance of clay sediments making up 50 percent of the matrix. These properties lead us to believe the deposition was rapid‚ most likely a flood event of a river system. A flood would bring in and randomly dump the large

Human-Environment: * The Shang Dynasty was well known for their use of bronze. Mostly in weaponry. * A very popular human-environment interaction source of ancient Chinese Civilizations was the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers. The Yellow River carried its rich silt from Mongolia all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Since the Yellow River would flood every year the Chinese had to figure out ways to control flooding. * The Taklamakan Desert served as a protective barrier for China because of its several species
