Many natural substances may be present in tiny amounts in an unfiltered air sample‚ including dust‚ pollen and spores‚ sea spray‚ and volcanic ash. Various industrial pollutants also may be present‚ such as chlorine‚ fluorine compounds‚ elemental mercury‚ and sulfur compounds such as sulfur dioxide In general‚ air pressure and density decrease in the atmosphere as height increases.

Of course moraines are not the only landform in Michigan that has been shaped by glaciers (Moraines). There are many more landforms that are formed by glaciers. One in particular are drumlins. Drumlins are long features that can be up to 5 kilometers long and 50 meters high. One end usually has a very steep incline while the other end

The island of the Dominican Republic has a wide range of biodiversity due to its isolation‚ tourists bringing in nonnative fauna and flora‚ and most of all due to the range of biomes within their country. The natural biomes that occur in the Dominican Republic vary from very dry biomes to very wet biomes. The most common biome in the Dominican Republic is subtropical coniferous forests‚ due to low levels of precipitation and adequate temperature variability. These trees have needle-leafs in order

The five themes of geography are location‚ place‚ human interaction‚ movement‚ and region. Ireland has many diverse geographic attributes. A main factor that determines the climate of Ireland is where it is located. This country is located off the west coast of Europe‚ placing it at exactly 53 degrees north and 8 degrees west‚ making it part of the United Kingdom. The Atlantic ocean surrounds this country using the warm currents from the south to warm the waters around Ireland‚ this current is

Smaller features include submarine canyons and submarine volcanoes or seamounts. Seamounts – are extinct volcanic cones that lie below the surface. A guyot is a flat- topped volcano that once reached the surface but later subsided Abyssal Plain – is at the edge of the continental slope. These plains cover large areas of the sea floor at depths of between

Every scene in my poster contains ecological integrity for example my mountain scene includes a landform (Appalachians)‚ a climate (winter)‚ wildlife (deer) and vegetation (coniferous trees). The signs and small amount of visitors are examples of how my park is
