Stalactite

Bat Guano Caves The best cave for the students to visit is the Lava River Cave. This is based on the diversity of the bats in the area, the accessibility of the cave and area, and the effect that white nose syndrome, or white nose syndrome, has had on the species of bats that live in the area. This cave in Coconino National Forest is close to the Northern Arizona University, and is by far the best choice for a class studying bats and white nose syndrome of the options given, which are the chosen cave (Lava River Cave), Antelope Cave, Bat Cave Mine, and Grand Canyon Caverns. Lava River Cave is very diverse compared to the other caverns. It has 2 confirmed species, the big brown bat, and the yuma myotis, but it also has a very large list of possible bats of 10. Grand Canyon Caverns has 2 confirmed and 6 possible, Bat Cave Mine has 2 and 7, and Antelope Cave has 2 and 14. This means that Antelope Cave and Lava River Cave have the most species in them most likely. The effect that is caused by having more bat species in the area is that the students have a larger selection of bat guano to study. Admittedly, Antelope Cave is possibly more diverse than Lava River Cave, however, diversity is not the only factor that led to the choice, and it only greater more by a slim number. Also, Lava river cave is by far the best cave for a college class (presumably a fairly large one considering ecology is a popular topic) to visit safely and without many restrictions. Lava River Cave is…

features like stalactites, stalagmites,and flowstone formed. There are ripple features caused by mechanical weathering in the cave. The Connecticut River is wide, and deep with dark murky water. It has meanders and floodplains, and the meanders conclude that the river is old. The Hudson River is very wide, deep, with blue clear water. The Hudson river contains meanders, floodplains, an oxbow lake, and tributaries, and the meanders and Oxbow Lake conclude that this river is old. The park at JBT…

Stalactites dripped water all over Alicia and Marion. It was moist, cold, and dark in Ovacaros Cave, at least that’s what they named it. Around twenty minutes ago, Alicia was taking a stroll through the jungle surrounding their hotel. They were staying in Vietnam, and were next door to each other. Alicia had become good friends with Marion, and told her immediately once she discovered the cave. As they were walking through what seemed to be the darkest corridor, Alicia dropped the flashlight,…

The purpose of this paper is the share the history and architecture of the Shah Mosque. The Shah Mosque is located in Isfahan, Iran due to the Shah Abbas moved the capital to the central city of Isfahan, this was the greatest decision in Persian history because they completely accent city and it has better farming and was safer still to this day.

is about the eighth most sufficient element found in the ocean.(Nelson, 2015) This element is the fifth most riches element in the human body. China, United States, and India are the top three countries that develop calcium.(Helmenstine, 2015) An interesting fact about calcium is the amount of it in the body can change the rate that the heart beat. Also a few of the best sources for calcium for the human body consist of dairy products such as yogurt, milk, salmon, tofu, and cheese. For our…

Art is both a language and a form of communication. The language of art can be elaborated in a multitude of ways. These methods include the content, process, or themes of an artwork. The works of art entitled “The Sneak” by Gale Godwin and “I’M (NOT) OKAY by L. Rose Wertz, which I found in the University Gallery, Fulton Hall 109, are prime examples of art being conveyed as its own language through their content. Firstly, “The Sneak” is an oil on canvas painting by Gale Godwin. The painting…

A stalagmite is a geologic formation located at the cave floor created by dripping water. You can remember the name of a stalagmite by the phrase “a stalagmite might reach the ceiling”. Continuing in the tunnels we pass through several doors that preserve the atmosphere and air quality of the cave from drying out. After hiking through the cave tunnels I come to the Middle Cave Lake. Above the lake I notice many stalactites hanging above me. A stalactite is located at the ceiling and is…

Yummy! Yummy!), stalagmites (ones you might trip over or they might reach the ceiling), stalactites (they might reach the bottom or they hang tight to the ceiling), cave popcorn (has a big blob on top and looks like a popcorn kernel), soda straws (hollow stalactites that hang from the ceiling), columns (we call them a column because we call them a “column”), and more formations throughout the cave. When you go through the walking tour, you also see a bunch of peccary and different animal skulls…

Dear Mr. Davis, or to whom it may concern. We the students believe that the lava beds is a place that we should go for a field trip. There are many things that could make this a good field trip. the history scenic values and the lava tubes would be a good thing to see if you are in science class. my first reason for going there is because of the history that is there. in 1925 the area now known as the lava beds were declared a national monument. It was declared by president Calvin…

stands out from the rocky landscape of Galissa, a settlement in Syros. It is built in a cave above the sea by a fisherman in honor of St. Stephanos. It is said that he was being pulled by a huge octopus into the sea when he made a vow to St. Stephanos to save him. 4. Agios Ioannis You might know this church from the wedding scene of the “Mamma Mia” 2008 movie. This beauty in the region of Kastri is perched on top of a rock and is linked to the mainland by a narrow path. Take about 100 steps…
