Woodland period

understanding of Cahokia as a city that had the potential of enforcing political power as well as military power across the plains and woodlands. My understanding is that Cahokians continued a “Pax Cahokiana”, and without the city’s enforcement of military power, the plains and woodlands started acting violent and became rebellious (Pauketat, Caho.168). The next Woodland Indians generation drew upon a Cahokian cultural legacy and because of that the city “also affected the shape and direction of…

1. Short summary of the history At 145 ± 4 to 66 million years (Ma) ago, Cretaceous period was the last period of the Mesozoic Era, right after Jurassic period and followed by the Paleogene period of the Cenozoic Era (International Commission Chart, 2014). 'Creta' in Latin means chalk and this is due to the large amount of calcium carbonate deposited by shells of marine animals thus resulting in large quantities of chalk (American Geological Institute, 1972). The shifting of continents as the…

rest period especially the growing season in order for it to recover. The balance between bush density and grass density will be more favorable for the woody species to grow. In the past our grazing land was dominated by heavy browsers like game that feed on woody species and now we keep to many grazers on land that feed more on grass and small herbs. Grazing system was never continues, livestock herders were common and livestock movement were controlled by practicing short grazing periods as…

that an increase in the frequency and severity of droughts will result in forests and wetlands being replaced by an increase in grasslands. The plants and animals that populate grasslands are adapted to the amount of rainfall and the seasonal dry periods. However, higher temperatures, less rain and soil moisture with increased rates of evaporation will result in mortality to plant species and a migration of animal…

African Lions live in groups called prides. Lions are relatives of the cat family. They live in thick grasslands, open woodlands and other habits. These habits helps with hiding and hunting. Lions hunt antelope, baby elephants, zebras, wildebeest, and rhinos. Only adults lions are strong enough to kill elephants. Most of the time, lions don't like to hunt. They steal food from hyenas, leopards and other predators. Lioness are the ones who go out and hunt for the pride. Then it is the lion's…

Hedgehogs are fascinating creatures! With such a small body length and only weighing a few ounces, it’s astonishing they are not categorized as rodents. What’s even weirder is that some hedgehogs eat dog food. Hedgehogs have a much shorter gestation period compared to other animals. Have you ever wondered what a hedgehog looks like? The head, body, and tail length is about 6-14 inches, and they only weigh about 14-39 ounces. The gender differences are very marginal. Males (boars) have sheaths…

1.0 Introduction Data collection on Bruny Island yielded several readings associated with climate, topography, and GPS. These readings have been analysed using visual techniques before refining to report on the reasoning behind the different trends in the datasets. As Bruny Island experiences (a general) North-Westerly wind direction, it became evident that vegetation and the topography of one sand dune transect would impose an effect on the recorded wind speed (or velocity) readings. The…

constantly monitor their sanitary protection to ensure it continues to work, and this is only one of many concerns. In addition, menorrhagia, the clinical name for abnormal menstrual bleeding, may be a sign of a serious condition. What Triggers Heavy Periods? Hormones often play a role in abnormal or heavy bleeding. Certain types of birth control impact hormone levels, as does the beginnings of menopause, and an overabundance or lack of a hormone may also come about as a result of a thyroid…

A pathogen is simply a microorganism that causes disease. Lyme Disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is carried by ticks, and “as a result of a complicated sequence of events, people have become frequent accidental hosts for ticks and the disease agents they carry”. This connection is present because of the interaction between plant and animal species, or furthermore, the ecology of ecosystems, where both ticks and humans are present [Source: Ostfeld]. Symptoms of being…

Even though both The Starry Night and Bowl by Ginny Marsh are completely different form of art, but what make me bring them together is one thing, there is always something can brighten your world. Both of them have their own story to tell and their story are different from each other, yet they both managed to go to the same ending. On Van Gogh’s side of the story, by using the darker side of color wheel, that represent the inner part of his fantasy. Adding the wave-like rapid flow of brush…
