good for the United States. This is how the Panama Canal Zone was gained by the United States. To us‚ it seemed like we were simply carrying out or foreign policy and to Latin America it seemed like we were intruding in their country. Climate and topography also play a huge role in the trade of a region. Products that perform well in certain cooler climate zones may need additional cooling or a special feature to operate effectively in a tropical zone. Many manufacturers have had to cope with requirements

The Theodore Roosevelt National Park is a 110 square mile large park located in North Dakota. This park was made in honor of the 26th president of the United States of America‚ Theodore Roosevelt. There is actually a pretty long but very interesting history‚ including several stories of Theodore’s adventures‚ where he spent his time in the badlands‚ and who accompanied him on these frivolous adventures. One of the stories involves Roosevelt and his two ranch hands Bill Sewall and Wilmot Dow chasing

Case Study 3 It was agreed upon by a board of top engineers that the basic design was sound and the suspension bridge had been constructed competently. The project’s original plan and scope management may have been an appropriate one if it was for a shorter bridge. Since this bridge was so long The planners started taking unknown and unnecessary risks when they determined the width of the bridge would be single lane versus double and when they changed the girders from round to flat‚ preventing

Next to water and air‚ soil is most essential to our very existence on the earth. Soils are the basis of support for most life‚ and a source of nutrients for marine life and fresh water. As a natural resource‚ soil is of immense value to man. In the agricultural orient the distribution and density of population have conformed to the persisting patterns of soil fertility and productivity. Soil is basically broken-down rock materials and consists of decomposed rock debris and decayed organic

P.3 Explain the difference between physical and environmental factors involved in the development. People working in construction are being told to minimise environmental impacts when carrying out there work. Many negative impacts can be reduced during the planning stage of a build. Any new build will have a negative impact on home owners and businesses. There will be increased traffic on roads and the towns will be fuller. Once the construction has been completed there may be longer term impacts

Nepal has a huge hydropower potential. In fact‚ the perennial nature of Nepali rivers and the steep gradient of the country’s topography provide ideal conditions for the development of some of the world’s largest hydroelectric projects in Nepal. Current estimates are that Nepal has approximately 40‚000 MW of economically feasible hydropower potential. However‚ the present situation is that Nepal has developed only approximately 600 MW of hydropower. Therefore‚ bulk of the economically feasible generation
