dependent variable. Kansas is a U.S. state located in the Midwestern of United states. An American geography professor MARK FONSTAD of south west Texas University with his colleagues WILLIAM PUGATCH and BLAME BRANDON VOGT showed that the topography of Kansas is flatter than a pancake. Once‚ the three researchers were eating breakfast where they started discussing about how flat their pancakes really were. Brandon Vogt‚ a doctoral student at Arizona state university‚ suggested comparing pancake

part of the New World which used to belong to the British. Although the colonies all had good things‚ all of the regions had things that didn´t help them grow as a region. Some colonies had rocky soil for example. Having a good climate and a good topography is part of agriculture‚ having materials to work is part of manufacturing. Industry Each of the three regions had different types of industry. The New England colonies used to do shipbuilding activities‚ lumbering and fishing. The Middle Colonies

and lush topography‚ extending around the spring‚ thus creating a semi-aquatic vegetation. Further down the landscape are steep crystalline rocks which serves as the home of some large predators. This mosaic landscape supplies Aldrich with good amount of water especially in the cool areas and the forage necessary for the habitation and survival. All year round‚ Aldrich is quite comfortable although the heat of the summer poses food problems. Also‚ in the winter season when the topography becomes slightly

From where do hurricanes derive their energy? What factors tend to weaken hurricanes? Would you expect a hurricane to weaken more quickly if it moved over land or over cooler water? 4. Where is the Bermuda high located during the summer and fall? How might the path of a hurricane‚ moving toward the west from Africa‚ be affected

is used when the coal is near the surface‚ and a process known as strip mining extracts it; this is literally tearing a strip out of the earth to expose the coal. This is a highly controversial method though because by taking so many strips‚ the topography of the mountain changes drastically. Underground mining is the second technique where one builds coalmines because the coal is too far underground. There are four types of underground mining‚ and they are longwall mining‚ continuous mining‚ blast

Soil properties are the result of the five soil forming factors; parent rock‚ climate‚ topography‚ organisms and time (Bockheim‚ et.al.‚ 2014). This is why there is a wide variety of soil types throughout Australia‚ but are there systematic differences between different regions? This essay will determine whether Australian tropical soils are different from soils of the rest of the country. The tropics are the regions between the latitude lines of the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn (Seidel
