West Africans developed their knowledge of tropical climate over many years and were able to make the leached soil of the Niger Delta profitable for themselves. The agricultural revolution in West Africa lead towards the Atlantic Slave Trade. The agricultural skills and knowledge of West Africans attracted Europeans. West Africans’ tropical agricultural skills greatly interested outsiders because the Europeans wanted to profit from this knowledge. On the map it is shown that West Africa consists

You can see that the air temperature does not rise that much inside the riparian zone therefore indicating that there is enough vegetation and shade to keep the air temperature constant.

Data has also shown that over the Atlantic Ocean the temperature was much warmer than usual for the season‚ and climate change was drastically affecting all of North America. However‚ the Great Plains were so terribly unprepared in their cropping techniques that after the drought took the vegetation‚ wind erosion destroyed what land was left and subsequently

definition of a landslide is: A gravity driven down slope movement of a mass composed of soil‚ rock‚ and vegetation. A landslide generally happens when the material in the down slope is heavier then the supporting soil. There are many contributing factors that cause landslides‚ steepness of slope‚ composition of soil and rock‚ groundwater condition‚ recent precipitation patterns‚ slope aspects vegetation on slopes‚ and anthropomorphic activities (land clearing). There are generally four types of landslides;

There are many similarities and differences in a state as large as Texas. The state is divided into 4 geographic regions: Mountains & Basins‚ the Great Plains‚ the North Central Plains‚ and the Coastal Plains. Even in these regions there are enough differences for subdivisions. The Great Plains is divided into the Llano Basin‚ Edwards Plateau‚ and the High Plains. The North Central Plains is also divided into 3 sub-regions: Grand Prairie‚ Cross Timbers‚ and Rolling Plains. The Coastal Plains includes
