For my honors enrichment project, I have choose to do a photo contest. The photo contest I entered in was the Zeiss. The picture I entered in the contest was a marsh which I took when I visited Pinckney Island. Marshes are usually found on the edge of a stream, pond, or lake. They often flood and if the surrounding area gets too dry, they feed the water from the flood back to stream, pond, or lake. A marsh is a type of wetland, an area of land where water covers ground for long periods of time.…

One of the main reasons Europe did this was to gain access to the abundant and untapped resources there. The growth of some African countries’ economies during that time can be credited to the international trade of those resources. Africa supplied a wide array of resources that were new, and therefore very desirable, to the Europeans. Among these many resources that were exported…
