The topic that I want to talk is are the animals and vegetation is North America. The reason why I chosen this topic is because I likes to watch the TV program is about the animals or vegetation. So this time I am going to talk about that, and try to find out the information of this topic. Although most people know about the animals and vegetation in North America, but the animals and vegetation also can give us the information about the climate in North America. There is three points that I want to talk about is the animals in North America, the vegetation in North America, and how the animals and vegetation shows out the information of the climate. The first point that I going to talk about the animals in North America, the most people may know the animals in North America. But how much do they know about the animals in North America? I think most people only know the name of those animals, and the animal is carnivore or herbivore. …show more content…
The geography of North America also very diversification, so there were many different types of vegetation in North America. The three most important types of vegetation is needle-leaved plant, fir, and cactus. The needle-leaved plant is the plant that was very commonly, because needle-leaved plant was easy to grow. The weather of North America is good for needle-leaved plant, so it can grow in any place in North America. The second one is fir, we usually can see fir in the cold place. The fir usually can grow to be very big and tall, everyone knows that fir is really expensive. So there are many people wants to cut down the fir, but it is hard to grow the fir. Because the temperature for the fir is hard to control, and it will also take the long time for it. The last one is cactus, it usually grow in the desert. The range of the cactus was in the southwest, only there was the place that you can easy to see the
Likewise, compared to those diets enjoyed by groups in northern California and the Pacific Northwest as far back as 4000 B.C., which were rich with nutritious stock like fish and shellfish, the game-hunting in the east was less reliable. While at first the big animals of the continent were bountiful to the newfound populations they had not yet learned to fear, their numbers quickly dwindled during the “Pleistocene overkill” (Page, 36). One area whose populations did not suffer from the absence of these large mammals was the Pacific coast, an observation that is notable despite the real absence of what were likely some of the most informational sites that archaeologists could have hoped to
My topic was the Paiute Indians, they lived in the southwestern Great Basin region. Paiute men went hunting out for food in groups. The Paiutes raised their own fruits and vegetables. Paiute groups got together in autumn for marriages and dances. They lived in the Great Basin region.
Chapter One reading Exercise: What regional differences in native societies and economies existed on the North American continent before European arrival? One of the major regional differences in the North American native societies before the arrival of Europeans is the hundred or so different languages spoken, political systems and set of religious beliefs throughout the numerous tribes. The location of the tribes affected the life their style as well. One example of are the Mound Builders as they are called in the book.
Many different plants were discovered in the Americas including beans, squash, chili peppers, sunflowers,
Based on the data above, what key changes took place across all three groups in the following areas: A. Migration - Humans migrated many different places. B. Technology - They used different technology to hunt. C. Society - Humans communicated in different languages to trade. 4. Craft an acceptable thesis statement that addresses both the changes and the continuities across all three groups.
In fact, with all their differences, the three regions later combined to create the great nation known today as the United States. One of the big differences between the three regions was their topography and climate, which led to different types of agriculture. For instance, the New England Colonies had many mountains and forests due to its glaciers. Since it had sandy soil, short summers and long lasting winters, the Puritans who landed in New England weren’t able to farm many types of crops. The cold weather negatively impacted their agriculture.
One of the plant is the state wildflower, the Indian Blanket. The state plant is also very interesting. The state plant is the eastern redbud. When someone looks at it from far away, it looks like a pink tree but really it is a tree filled with beautiful pink flowers. These plants were both very beautiful but there are a lot of natural disasters that destroy these plants.
The animals would kill other animals, such as deer. Deer were an animal that settlers ate and needed. The animals that lived in the area were “Beasts of Prey” they consisted of, “Panthers, Tygers, and Wolves.” These animals were threats to the resources, which made them threats to the new settlers.
Rapid industrialization has led to the widespread destruction of the natural wilderness around us. In President Jimmy Carter’s foreword to “Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Seasons of Life and Land, A Photographic Journey” by Subhankar Banerjee, he describes the picturesque scenery of the Arctic refuge and with it’s one in a million biodiversity, the need to protect it from development of industries and its negative side effects. The author starts his discussion by describing ‘America’s Serengeti’, its inhabitants and their surroundings. He personifies the animals with almost human like behavior – connecting with his audience’s emotions and grabbing their attention instantly.
How do natural characteristics of Canada influence human activity, and how might human activity influence Canada’s natural characteristic? Canada is the second largest country in the world, its landform region has a large range from the lowlands to mountains. This characteristic make the country extremely extraordinary among other countries. However, the great natural characteristic also creates a huge impact on the way of life for Canadian. Examples of influences to human from natural characteristic can be the Canadian population distribution, economy, farming.
The relationship between species diversity and size of area. Research Task By Keaton Rea Grade 11 Table of contents Introduction and Hypothesis Review of literature Gathering of data Presentation of findings Discussion Conclusion Bibliography Literature Review In 1921 Swedish scientist, Olaf Arrhenius proposed the Species Area Relationship (SAR).
National Wildlife Federation is a wildlife organization founded by Ding Darling. The Wildlife Federation works to protect the ecosystem that is crucial to the native wildlife. The National Wildlife Federation took part in the passing of clean water act, clean air act, and endangered species act. In 2007 the water resources development act was successfully passed thanks to the help of the Wildlife Federation.
One of the best days of my life was when we went deer hunting in South Dakota with my dad, brother, uncle and two cousins, but before I tell you about my trip let me tell you how it started. We left early in the morning to head to South Dakota where my cousin Jacob, who had just got a job as Game warden in Custer State Park, was taking us deer hunting. We got as far as Fargo, North Dakota when my cousin Keith asked my dad where our license were. Then to our surprise we forgot them back at home. We were lucky enough to have my two aunts and mom bring us the license because they were going to Fargo that day anyways for a girls shopping day.
North America carries aspects of Asia, Africa and even Colombia while maintaining its own unique culture. The Southern areas of North America are more heavily oriented around religion,
The Impacts of Climate Change on Species This paper seeks to research the study of climate change and its effects on biodiversity. This will be done by first understanding what climate change is and what the different effects are. Once this is understood, it will be easier to apply this knowledge to the study of biodiversity and how species are affected. Real life examples of different species that are affected will be mentioned and explained. Climate change is a reoccurring issue in our world that has been observed and studied extensively.
