a orange beak they were near the mouth of the Umatilla river. Also, two days after we had encountered the bird we discovered this tree that grew hazelnuts, it was near the Deschutes river. Going west we traveled through the last mountain range, The Cascades. On November 7, I said, "Ocian! in view O! the joy", because we were finally near ocean, but I was wrong we were still twenty miles from the coast. By the middle…

The interior of the Wild Wild west is being invaded from all sides. This biological region is generally the expanse from Northern Idaho all the way to the Southern New Mexico with Cascade Range and Rocky Mountains enclosing. The interior of the west contains a vast trove of wildlands that are for the most part not managed by the government or any organizations due to the unpopulated nature of the environment. In the meantime, nonnative species of plants have managed to billow into…

Have you ever wanted to go to Oregon? There are many sights and experiences to see, feel, and try, along with a rich history. It’s the year 1803. President Thomas Jefferson bought a huge swatch of land for the US, including what is now Oregon. He sent explorers to map the territory. Later, in 1840, settlers traveled up the Oregon Trail. On February 14, 1854, Oregon became the 33rd official state. Oregon may have gotten its name from the French word “Ouragan”, which means hurricane and was a…

Mt. St. Helens is a stratovolcano part of a group of volcanoes called The Ring of Fire. These are created from the convergence/subduction between the Juan De Fuca plate and the North American plates. Its most common type of eruption is intermediate eruptions, which is what the composition was in its most recent eruption. Mt. St. Helens most recently erupted on May 18, 1980. An earthquake right under the mountain caused an enormous landslide/avalanche going close to 150 mph. A huge hazard from…

debris avalanche was up to 0.7 cubic miles (2.9 km3) in volume. An ash cloud of 80,000ft high rose into the sky. It got so dark street lights had to be turned on. The whole ash cloud went across the US in 3 days. As with most other volcanoes in the Cascade Range, Mount St. Helens is a large eruptive cone consisting of lava rock interlayered with ash, pumice, and other deposits. The mountain includes layers of basalt and andesite which several domes of dacite lava had erupted from. The eruption…

a symptom-free period of 6 months, but not an exacerbation of chronic low back pain.2 Pain is a subjective experience, and acute pain is a warning signal which expresses that body tissue is about to be injured. If injury actually occurs, then a cascade of pathophysiological events will take place in a well mapped simultaneous and chronological order.9 Pain intensity is usually most prevalent in the inflammatory phase…

13354626 Katie O’Byrne words including references Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is a glycoprotein that is secreted by and diffuses through the developing nervous system. It is a member of the hedgehog family of signaling molecules. The Sonic hedgehog signaling cascade is an integral trafficking system that influences the pattering and growth processes involved in the development of multicellular organisms. Shh is particularly important in the dorsoventral axis of the neural tube which will be examined…

one of the most commonly seen species in the area, can serve as an example since they are not only defined as creatures on the top of the food chain but also on the front places of the fishermen’s hunting lists. The tiger shark has the widest food range of all sharks, consuming a large variety of prey: seals, birds, turtles, and even other small reef sharks. In the journal Patterns and ecosystem consequences of shark declines in the ocean, it includes that “recent studies in the Great Barrier…

plasma. Therefore, the 25 grams of glucose from the Oreos is dissolved within the bloodstream, which triggers the pancreas to aid in the consumption of the simple carbohydrates. Normal glucose concentration levels in the blood are set to be between the ranges of 70 and 110 milligrams per deciliter. Consequently, it is important for the excessive glucose from the Oreos to be transported within other body cells…

describe ranks of soldiers and the word “adamantine” or unbreakable to describe the ranges in the distance that are “rising out of nothing like the backs of seabeasts in a Devonian dawn.” Devonian refers to a geological period stretching from 405-345 million years ago. During this age fearsome, armoured, predatory fish dominated the massive seas, whose backs rising out of the water would look much like the mountain ranges McCarthy is referring to. He describes Glanton’s crew moving along under…
