Redwood National and State Parks

Mesa Verde National Park is in the Colorado Corner of the Four Corner area. When the Mesa Verde region was uplifted, the streams cut themselves into pediments and divided into two components. One was the McElmo Creek which flows to the west and the other was the Mancos River which drains the cuesta. The Mesa Verde is a cuesta that slopes gently to the south. A cuesta is a hill with a step on one side and a gentle slope on the other. The steep on the Mesa Verde is a 2,000 foot high cliff on the…

In the Mesa Verde region in the South Western corner of Colorado, existed a group of people known as the Anasazi, or Puebloans. Mesa Verde was occupied by farmers who lived in cliff dwellings. Due to its high elevation, it was believed that when the surrounding areas were experiencing bad conditions, people would move to Mesa Verde. The Anasazi existed in this region from about 600 AD to 1300 A.D. Between 700 and 850 AD, the population in this region doubled in size. However, just a few hundred…

According to Source Three, paragraph one, it states,“ Rain comes only in the spring, and then in torrents. Landslides, avalanches, and earthquakes are not common. Only 2 percent of the land is farmable.” This quote shows that not much of the land in the cliff dwellings were good for farming. This is important because this probably means that not many crops were able to be grown, which leads to people not having…

In The Old Man and the Sea, it became clear that the concept of “coming of age” does not really have anything to do with age. For me, coming of age is about you believing that you have reached a certain level of maturity. Everyone’s perception of coming of age is unique to them, so coming of age can be different for different people. Overall, coming of age is about being able to believe that you deserve respect from yourself and others by reaching a certain level of maturity. A person’s ideal…

Carlsbad Cavern is a United States National cavern located in the Guadalupe Mountains of southeast New Mexico. The cave was dissolved along cracks and faults in the limestone rock by sulfuric acid. The limestone was laid down about 250,000,000 years ago, as part of a reef complex along the edge of an inland sea. Seventeen to 20,000,000 years ago, the ancient reef rocks that had been buried under thousands of feet of younger rocks began to lift upwards. This historic park is very special because…

thing left to understand about their lives is found in what they left behind; which was much more than a few pieces of gorgeous pottery. For 2,000 years the anasazi ruled Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, and Kayenta, spanning most of the southwest United States writes Kathy Weiser. From 1200 B.C. to 1300 A.D. The ancient puebloans developed their land and their culture. They created gorgeous pottery and developed proper housing, all of which was mysteriously abandoned. Everything was left as if they…
