immediately. However, for many mammals it can excess water lost that can lead to dehydration. 2. (Page 133 check your understanding 6.1) why do you think the geographic range of the huge redwood tree, sequoia sempervirens, is limited to costal areas of central and northern California and southern Oregon? The reason why I think that the geographic range of the huge redwood tree, sequoia sempervirens, is limited to coastal areas of central

Themes in U.S. & World History; Geographic and Environmental Factors An example of physical geographic factors that contributed to the development and expansion of the United States are the Appalachian Mountains and the discovery of the Cumberland Gap. The second geographical factor that significantly contributed to the development and expansion of the United States is the major rivers of the Midwest regions such as, “The Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, and other rivers knit together

The Geographic Impact of Egypt When one thinks of Egypt, one immediately thinks of the Sphinx or the ancient pyramids sitting in the desert lands. What people don't realize is that Egypt's geography is quite diverse. There is more to Egypt than the monumental tourist attractions.There are many geographic features that have impacted the development of Egypt. Some features that have dramatically affected Egypt are its bodies of water, deserts and valleys. One geographic

In this study, scientists observed the interaction of bishop pine seeds and ectomycorrhizal fungi in different environmental conditions to test whether or not geographic selection mosaics would occur. They define geographic selection mosaics as “in which species exert different evolutionary impacts on each other in different environments, may drive diversification in coevolving species.” To carry out this experiment they collected mycorrhizal fungus spores, bishop pine seeds, and field soil from

A) Significant environmental/physical geographic factor that contributed to the development of Egypt. Egypt has become one of the most populated countries in the Middle East. But, how did all of these people get there and why did they choose Egypt to settle? Early Egypt can thank it’s main river source, The Nile, for early human civilization. Without “The Gift of the Nile,” Egypt would not have been a desirable place for people to settle. Being that mostly hot, dry deserts surround Egypt, the Nile

This country is divided into three principal geographic regions which are the Costa (the “coast”, mountainous arid coastline), the Sierra (“mountain range”, which are cold and rugged Andean highlands), and the Selva (“jungle”, which are rain forests). The topography of this country as well as being prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, recurrent floods and droughts, do not allow Peru’s agricultural sector to grow, and only 7.4% of the gross domestic product (GDP) comes from agriculture

Central Asia to Anatolia and with that they already gained military prowess and power in the region. It also should go without saying they promoted the faith along the way as well thus expanding the Islamic faith from Central Asia into Anatolia. This geographic movement is interesting because it’s not only highlights the success of battles between Turkic and local tribes but, it provides the catalyst for the expansion of the Ottoman Empire and Islam in Europe. Another important siege in the early days

It is mentioned in the paper that "the future of utility and grounds asset management involved Geographic Information Systems (GIS)". Discuss this statement. GIS is not only more cost-effective but also utilitarian and helps institutions that cover vast tracts of ground deliver their public services better and more rapidly to their users. For instance, by using GIS the management at the Physical Plant at Western Michigan University can better spread communication amongst its staff of engineers,

Geographic Location: Afghanistan is bordered on the north by Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. China lies on the Northeast, Iran by the west and Pakistan on the south and east. The country’s area is 653,000 sq. km. The Settled population in 2003-2004 according to CSO Estimated Population of Afghanistan Gazetteer amounted almost (20,691,400). The administrative division of Afghanistan according to Ministry of Interior consists of 34 Provinces and 397 Districts (National Atlas, 1986).

This is largely because of its dominant maritime influence. Further climate diversity is found in the semiarid climates in much of the San Joaquin valley. California has four of the five major types of climate found around the world. California’s geographic diversity would begin to be matched by its human diversity. Earthquakes are another factor to why California is so diverse. People are always migrating into California from all over the world. Diversity effects many things in different kind of ways
