From their very genesis‚ the New England and Chesapeake Colonies displayed stark differences and contrasts. The former was founded mostly for religious reasons and the latter for purely economic ones. Though both regions were in relatively close proximity‚ comparably‚ they greatly differed religiously‚ politically‚ socially‚ and morally (in so far as their perception/exploitation of Native Americans was concerned). The exploration of these different colonies will prove to be particularly fruitful

describes one of the islands saying “In the centre of it‚ there is a very large lake; there is no mountain‚ and all is so green that it is a pleasure to gaze upon it”. Columbus’s journal entries are filled with accounts like this where he describes the topography of the land he is encountering‚ and its beauty.

First off‚ certain famous ocean currents have well-known effects on climate. Consider the Gulf Stream. The climate in Northwestern Europe (the UK especially) is much more mild than it is directly across the Atlantic in Canada and the Northeastern US. There can be up to a 30-40 degree (Fahrenheit) air temperature difference in January between these two areas. The Atlantic Ocean near Canada is locked in ice in winter but the Atlantic Ocean near England is not. It is thought that the huge temperature

Course Code: GEOG 1231 Divergent and convergent plate margins are both studied in plate tectonics; which is the study of the plates that makeup the lithosphere‚ their movements and how these movements has influenced changes in the surface’s topography (Strahler‚ 2011‚ 389). The driving force that causes these plate movements is the gradual movement of the semi-molten rock that makes up the asthenosphere (Kious‚ 1996‚ 28). Features observed at these margins share some similarities but‚ also vary

Geomorphology - is the science of landforms‚ their origin‚ evolution‚ form‚ and spatial distribution. Denudation - is any process that wears away or rearranges landforms. Processes include weathering‚ mass movement‚ erosion‚ transportation‚ and deposition. Differential Weathering - the effect of different resistance in rock‚ coupled with variations in the intensity of physical and chemical weathering. Dynamic Equilibrium Model - the balancing act between tectonic uplift and reduction rates
