Stalagmite

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…

and till got deposited where the river slowed down. Other cave 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…

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…

I would manage to swim some more and I may of over exaggerated at the time but it still hurt! And I didn’t want to embarrass myself, so I just kept swimming without thinking about it and the pain went away. Over where, the stalagmites were in the big open piece of water, big green catfish with big, black, spots swam below us and startled me half to death. As I was, watching the catfish, they swam away every time someone kicked or hit the water. Huge rocks came out of the water and smaller…

Earth’s crust. It 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…

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…

the television world, the more likely they are to believe social reality portrayed on television. According to the theory, cultivation leaves people with a misperception of what is true in our world. Under this umbrella, perceptions of the world are heavily influenced by the images and ideological messages transmitted through popular television media.” The deep web is mostly portrayed by the media as this dangerous place that only can be accessed by criminals and this is not the case as we all…

A team of scientists has discovered unusual, mysterious underground structures in a French cave. The researchers suspect that these structures were probably built by Neanderthals, nearly 176,500 years ago. The structures discovered possess two stone rings located deep inside the cave at Bruniquel in southwest France. The researchers believe that these structures suggest how Neanderthals were far more complex organisms that previously thought by archaeologists around the world. An analysis of…

philosophy to progress Grendel’s search for purpose and begin to consolidate it in chapter eleven. Grendel’s search for purpose is tied into the traits of the Aquarius sign--Individualism and progressiveness. In this chapter, “Strangers [Geats and Beowulf] have come, and it’s a whole new game.” (151), for Grendel and he knows that things will change. Evidence of this change begins when Grendel presses his “...ear to it [Frozen lake], honoring the water that rattles below, for by water they…

much of the earth, several million years ago, this area was a major body of water. After the earth’s crusts shifted, the sea floor rose upwards to create the land. Corrosion occurred and it then caused the formation of the Sea Flower. It’s always at a slightly cool temperature of about 55.4 degrees fahrenheit, regardless of the season. The cave has seven distinct layers, in which, six are dry and the seventh contains an underground river. The different layers are very obvious because the…
