Desert Island Story The boat went clash as we collided with huge rocks. The boat was sinking‚ it was too late‚ and we had sunk. I was swimming as fast as I could. I managed to grab on to a bit of drift wood. There wasn’t anyone there as far as I could see. I caught a glimpse of sun reflecting into my eye. I spotted Robbie at the other side of me and he seemed to be drowning. He then grabbed a bit of drift wood and we both ended up on a desert island. Robbie feared he would not get back. Then a

Due to the scarce rain and very dry weather‚ deserts have unique vegetation patterns. Depending on the type of desert and the geographical location‚ common desert plants include cacti‚ sagebrush‚ creosote bushes‚ shrubs‚ and short grasses. Agricultural plants are rare‚ because they are only found where rivers and streams take place‚ which is very uncommon in most deserts. The vegetation has adapted to survive in the desert biome by using several distinct features to prevent water loss‚ attacks from

According to “Climate” by Marietta College‚ there are two types of deserts‚ subtropical and temperate. Both of these deserts receive less than 100 centimeters of precipitation per year‚ earning them the classification of desert. Desert plants must undergo many adaptations in order to survive the unusually dry conditions that are associated with a desert. There is a long list of adaptations‚ but some of the most common are the reduction of leaves‚ development of the stem as a major photosynthetic

The Atacama Desert forms one of the major hyper-arid deserts of the world and it is known to be the driest place on Earth. The extreme aridity of the climate and unusual mineralogy of the regolith in the Atacama region is of considerable interest because of its value as an analogue to the Martian surface. The sedimentary succession in the Atacama Desert records deposition under an arid to semiarid climate from the late Jurassic (150Ma) to the present day (Hartley‚ 2005). Comparison with other long-lived

Although completely different‚ California and Arizona are both wonderful states to reside in. I have lived in both states‚ and love them both. California is beautiful with beaches‚ bridges and big cities. Arizona has gorgeous mountains and rivers. Both states have vastly different weather and terrain‚ cost of living‚ and quality of schools and their accomodations. Arizona’s population grows in the winter when "snowbirds" migrate to the nice calm and cool weather. In Maricopa county‚ which covers

Question: What management strategies have been implemented in response to the resilience and vulnerability of a selected ecosystem? The Mojave Desert is a world famous desert that occupies a significant amount of California and smaller parts in surrounding states. Covering thousands of square kilometers‚ the ecosystems can range from 100 meters below sea level up to 2000 meters above sea level. The biophysical interactions within these ecosystems such as earth movements‚ soil formation‚ weather and
