Dunes

notice that the day is a little bit longer than on Earth. Also the sun looks pretty far away too. And the planet is overall smaller. It is also very broad and plain. I see brownish terrain and brown rocks. The landform is very rough, including sandy dunes, to giant boulders. One thing I will need to bring is a space suit because of the atmosphere in Mars. I will need to bring really hot clothes and a ton of blankets. Since the gravity is different maybe heavy clothes. If possible a rover to…

grandparents pool. The setting is at Bennett's grandparents house in Joplin Kansas. The setting is different for Death Valley. Death valley is the hottest place on the Earth according to the lead of the story. On page 6 it says the vast salt flats and snow dunes. Sizzle in the sun on the valley floor. The temperature and the setting are unlike any other setting in the united states as temperatures soar near to 120 degrees. In the conclusion these two stories are different Joplin Kansas is a city…

Death Valley is located in the Mojave Desert in California. It functions as a national park and is part of the National Park System. Despite being the hottest and driest place in North America with temperatures reaching up to 134 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, there is a good amount of vegetation. The vegetation in Death valley includes mostly succulents and drought resistant plants. Basically, plants that have adapted to desert conditions thrive in Death Valley. Major landforms include,…

Miniscule dunes surround the tortoise providing quite an obstacle course for the poor fellow. Fortunately, he seems to enjoy the obstacle course because he is constantly crawling, never stopping. Perhaps he is looking for someone. After observing the tortoise I…

North Stradbroke Island or Minjerribah (indigenous name) is an island that lies within Moreton Bay in Queensland. Stradbroke is the second largest sand island in the world. On the island there are a number of lakes and beaches along most of the coastline with rocky ridges at Point Lookout. The island has been the site for sand mining for more than sixty years. Tourism and currently mining are the island's main industries. On the island there is an Aboriginal community. The Quandamooka people…

turtle and seabird nesting sites scattered along its shore, and it is a great place for boaters. Reminiscent of Old Florida, Indian Rocks Beach features roughly three miles of beautiful wide, flat, accessible white-sand beaches, along with beautiful dune-lined expanse scattered with small motels, vacation cottages and rental condos. One of the highlight of Indian Shores is it beachside sanctuary, the largest wild bird hospital in the US. It’s soft sand stretches for roughly 2.65 miles and…

Today I will be talking about the biome I have chosen for my report. I chose the driest landform you would ever hear about, the Desert. There are so many interesting facts about the Desert that I bet you haven’t even heard of. Did you know that Death Valley has a large mass of water underneath it that includes one of the most rarest fish ever. That fish is called the Blue Pufferfish. Some of the desert’s i'm going to be babbling about is the Great Victoria Desert. This desert is located in…

and the Basin and Range Province. The Gulf Costal Plains are located in the south eastern part of Texas and is a level drained plain which is divided by many rivers flowing into estuaries and marshes. The coastal region is mostly composed of Sand, dunes and grass lands which follow the areas closest to the sea. The Interior Lowlands are located in the northern area of Texas and include hilly lands with a vast amount of forests. The Great Plains is located in North West Texas and is composed if…

tight around his neck and hooked it on the upper fence. His body must have struggled and whimpered but there was no one to take notice. By the time we had returned, Scooby was nothing more than a corpse. My dad had buried him deep beneath the sand dunes while my brothers and I tried to go back to sleep as if nothing had happened. There was no longer any sound of his barks just a silent house. I remember him every now and then, reminiscing the very little memories we shared. For a while, it had…

convergent evolution. The reason for the experiment was to confirm that substitution on a single nucleotide in gene coding of melanocortin-1 receptor (Mc1r) will have a significant part to play in the evolution of white coat mice that occupy the sand dunes of Florida’s Gulf Coast. The melanocortin-1 receptor (Mc1r) gene is a derived amino acid change that plays a role in not only the evolutionary patterns of mice but also birds, black bears, and the coloration of certain lizards. Mc1r mutation…
