Geomorphology

By applying the geographical concepts of ancient art, geography is defined as the study of physical features of earth’s atmosphere, which includes natural resources, countries, continents, land use, oceans, rivers, and other, whether it is physical, human, or environmental. According to the history of art, the major parts of geography mainly consists in civilizations, such as ancient Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt. The art history of Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt has been one of the huge concepts…

DESERT Deserts may be extremely hot and humid. There are actually some animals manage to survive in the desert . The way some animals survive in the desert is some burrow underground to stay cool. Kangaroos lick their forearm to stay cool. Deserts may be extremely hot but they can support plant life and. Location Every continent has a desert except Europe. The world's largest desert is the Sahara and it can found in Africa. Asia has small deserts compared to the Sahara. Australia is…

To understand the depth of the standard above we must address the three main components that form the standard: Science and Engineering Practices, Disciplinary Core Ideas, and Crosscutting Concepts. The standard in this context applies to a fourth grade unit on earth 's systems, and more specifically: soils, rocks, and landforms. The disciplinary core ideas that this standard is addressing exist in two parts, ESS2.A which focuses on rainfall shaping the land and the movement of sediments…

Water erosion Water erosion is a natural force that is caused by things like water, ice and wind. This can also happen by human activity. It wears out rocks and soil. Water erosion occurs on streams,rivers banks, sea shores and seaside cliffs. Usually muddy water is a sign of erosion.Usually water erosion happens during rainfalls, snow melts. Runoffs as well because it helps carry away small materials like soil and rocks. There are also more types of erosion like gully erosion and sheet erosion…

The main focus of education in Flatland is polygon recognition. When looking at another polygon in Flatland, they all look like lines. However, in early childhood, everyone learns how to feel one another’s angles in order to determine what type of polygon one is. Yet, with further education, it is possible to detect the type of polygon through sight recognition. In Flatland, there are two main variables that determine the route of one’s education; gender and social status. If one is male, they…

The Badlands formed from a complex geologic setting. The topography that we see today is formed from erosion of the soft and not well-consolidated rocks. The oldest rocks found at The Badlands National Park are the Upper Cretaceous mudstones of the Pierre Shale (Graham, 2008). Overlying the Pierre Shale is the Fox Hills Formation, and overlying the Fox Hills Formation is the Tertiary White River Group. The White River Group contains a paleosol that are bright red. Overlying the Fox Hills…

How liveable is Chatswood? Features and Location Chatswood is a growing suburb of Sydney, located approximately 10.6 kilometres from the Sydney CBD via M1 by car. According to the 2011 Australian census, the population of Chatswood is 21,194. It has many parks and reserves, and is comprised of high-rise and low-rise buildings. The Lane Cove river also passes through Chatswood. Map showing location of Chatswood within Sydney = Transit White = Roads = Ocean = Greenery…

Annotated Bibliography [1] R. Holtz, W. Kovacs, T. Sheahan. An Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering, 2nd Ed. New Jersey: Pearson, 2011, pp. 294-301. Liquefaction is a phenomena that appears in not very cohesive soils. There are many factors linked to the existence of quicksand. Holtz, Kovacs, and Sheahan describe how the seepage forces, liquefaction, earthquakes, soil stress and underground water table are crucial elements to the understanding of quicksand. Additionally, the book provides…

The Journey to Nowhere The humid lands of Africa make a hard area to travel, but to run away girls, from the Maletrism of dominant males, it makes a perfect get away. The two decided to run from their dominant husband, for they were tired of the way that he treated his wives. They both knew the night that they could even try to run away. The day was Sunday when the husband would go into town to have a good time with women not of his household. Jamal, the younger of the two at the age of…

Although the regolith represents an important economic resource (Wright et al., 1985; Taylor and Eggleton, 2001), it also acts as a hindrance to exploration for mineral deposits under cover (Anand, 2016; Salama et al., 2016) and geological mapping in general. The term regolith refers to all of the weathered and/or unconsolidated material from basement rock to earth surface including interbedded fresh rocks (Taylor and Eggleton, 2001). Tardy (1997) estimates that nearly one third of the area of…
