absolute and relative location in your description. Melbourne city is located in the southern region of Australia in the state of Victoria. Melbourne’s longitude and latitude is, 37.8136° S, 144.9631° E. Melbourne being the capital city of Victoria, is located on the south coast and borders with Port Phillip in the south. Task 3: Melbourne City: Geographical characteristics Outline the geographic characteristics of the city. Make sure you refer to both the natural and human(built) environment in your answer. Include annotated photos with captions to show key features. It would be useful to label some of the different building materials used in your examples of the human environment. Human Built Natural Buildings Trees Roads Grass MCG Yarra River Ammi Park Shrubs Melbourne museum Gardens Eureka Sky deck Foot paths Task 4: Interconnections Map c) Describe the pattern shown on your map using the PQE method. What conclusions can be drawn about the way Melbourne is connected with the rest of the world based on the information on your map? Pattern: From looking at the map it can be seen that the people travelling to Melbourne are evenly traveling from Melbourne, from Victoria and internationally. Quantification: Indeed, three people came from Melbourne; three came from Victoria and three internationally. Exception: The location where the number of people is travelling to Melbourne is the lowest is interstate, with there being only Task 5: Graphs Using Excel construct…

Bulimba creek comprises of 122 km2 and is located in the eastern and south-eastern areas of Brisbane. The catchment area extends from “southern suburbs of Kuraby and Runcorn to Hemmant and Murarrie in the north” (Bulimba creek catchment, 2015). It contains seven freshwater swamplands and ten significant riparian remnants. Bulimba creek generally flows northwards into the Brisbane River (refer to the map) and is an example of a riparian zone, which by definition is “the interface between land and…

which flows into the Yarra River. This could result in a minute drop in quality of fauna and flora life, encouraging sediment sensitive animals to leave the area and attract sediment tolerant species. Furthermore, moderate deposition of sediment in Kestrel creek slightly hampers its ability to clean water and moderate deposition of sediment in the Yarra River decreases its quality and impacts on river…

with the name first, but it surely does fit our feelings for the town. Growing up in Tillamook, I start to notice more and more of the horrifying damage the rain water and rivers do to our town. According to the Tillamook County Department of Community Development, "DO NOT ENTER FLOOD WATER!" flood…

snowpack melt in the summer. During upwelling events nutrient rich ground water would be brought up to the surface layers. If there is a spike in nutrient levels without any rainfall and low water temperature and low dissolved oxygen were observed, it usually implies to upwelling events. Upwelling can be localized and could also bring up the resting cysts of harmful plankton. Upwelling at known hotspots would lead to a bloom event during favorable conditions. A discrete sample was collected from…

Due to the flooding in Lower Onion Creek, Eric Rangel, 17, had to drop out of school due to the financial burden that flooding has imposed on his family. The Lower Onion Creek area flooded twice, once on October 31, 2013, and October 30, 2015. Many Lower Onion Creek residents are living in condemned homes five months after the latest flood. Eric Rangel said after the floods, the city condemned his home. His home was no longer inhabitable, and his family had to seek other shelter options.…

Downstream of dams, marked changes in fish populations occur as a consequence of blockage of migration routes, disconnection of the river and floodplain, and changes in flow regime, physiochemical conditions, primary production and channel morphology(McCartney, 2009, pg. 128). Due to the changes in the fish population caused by dams, the 1996 International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Animals includes 617 freshwater fishes (McCartney, 2009, pg.128). Fresh water…

How long have people been fishing, not only for fun, but as a source of food? The answer, thousands of years, in “Egyptian artwork from 2000 B.C. shows people fishing” ( Hopkins 6). It is surprising, yet understandable knowing that even ancient people fished. It would of been an easy source of food. The lakes, rivers, streams, etc. were all full of a diverse population of fish, which would of made fish an easy meal to catch and eat. They were the first people to begin fishing so the…

The dam we are planning to build will not only help the environment it will slow down global warming and grow more crops for human consumption. This dam can also be used for irrigation purposes like growing crops for humans and animals alike. You can also use this water as clean drinking water. The salmon population will maintain similar to what was before because ninety-seven percent still survive. It will slow down global warming by not having us burn coal for energy creating greenhouse gases…

The formation of Mississippi Deltaic Plain (MDP) requires comprehensive work between the river and multiple coastal scales, such as temperature and space. It is very important to restore the MDP not only because it helps to understand the details that are needed to ensure the sustainability of the delta system, but it also possesses the potential to mitigate future damage from climate change to coastal ecosystem. The contribution of riverine inputs increase accretion and bulk density, benefit…
