Vimy ridge

At 37.9337° N, 78.9529° W elevation 3200 feet or mile 10.8 on the Blue Ridge Parkway lies one of the most spectacularly beautiful overlooks in the area. Looking to the right Ravens Roost overlooks the Shenandoah Valley, the most distinguishable areas being Stuarts Draft. To the left the you can see the George Washington National Forest, and Torrey Ridge in the distance. Ravens Roost holds a significant place in my heart, soul, and brain and continues to amaze me with its beauty time after time.

* * * * Dialing the number on speaker phone, what have I gotten myself into? I thought, and on the second ring, “Hello, may I speak to Bradley Callahan?” “This is Bradley. How can I help you, ma’am.” “I am calling from Wood Works Wonder. This is Clareese Alana.” “Yes, Miss Alana. I’ve been waiting for your call.” Bradley sounded like he was waiting for something all right. With a sexy, almost familiar voice, and forgetting for a split second, this was a business call, and I said, “Mr. Callahan—”

The Battle of Pea Ridge and its Impact on the Civil War The Civil War was a major point in American History. It has influenced everyone in America in many ways. The War was conducted in two main areas of the United States. These two parts were in the area east of the Mississippi River and in the area west of the Mississippi River. The control of both of these fronts was vital for victory by either the Union or the Confederacy. On March 8, 1862, a small skirmish at Pea Ridge, Arkansas led to the

southwestern Missouri. The Union when a force called for General James G.Blunt holds off a force of Confederates under General Thomas Hindman. Hindman joined in force at Fort Smith, Arkansas, to make an attempt to recapture territory lost during the Pea Ridge campaign of early 1862. When Hindman sent an advance detachment of cavalry under John Marmaduke in a minor engagement at Cane Hill. After Cane Hill, Hindman marched his 11,000-man army across the Boston Mountains and Approached Blunt’s 5,000 Troops

Based on the information in the textbook and the instructor note, plate tectonics is the Earth’s surface divided into several plates that move slowly and change in size. I found the video Plate Tectonics: “Birth of a Theory” in session 13 very useful. It helps me understand the material easily by using the animation to illustrate the process of plate tectonics. It is amazing about the fact that the continents can be made to fit together like pieces of a picture puzzle. About 225 million years ago

Pangaea Existence Proven Have you ever heard of Pangaea? Do you think it is real? Do you need someone to prove it for you? Well,I am here to prove Pangaea’s existence to you. To begin with, you need to know what Pangaea is. Pangaea was thought of in the year of 1912. This theory was called Continental Drift and was proposed by Alfred Wegener.Pangaea was thought to be a Super Continent. When Alfred Wegener proposed this theory no one really believed him because he did not have much

and upper mantle and the asthenosphere a plastic like layer beneath the lithosphere. There are three types of plate boundaries. Divergent boundaries where two plates move away from each other. The ocean widens and new crust forms at the mid-oceanic ridge. Convergent boundaries has three types of converging, moving two plates towards each other. First we have an ocean floor plate that collides with a less dense continental plate. Next an ocean floor plate collides with another ocean floor plate. Finally

made of lithosphere topped with oceanic and/or continental crust. The plates are moved around on Earth's surface by seafloor spreading. convection in the mantle drives seafloor spreading. Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges. The crust moves outward from the ridge over time. The crust may eventually sink into the mantle and be

In this essay I will be telling you about plate tectonics. In my first paragraph, I will be talking about how plate tectonics were discovered. Plate tectonics is theory that earth’s outer shell divided into severally. The mantle plates that glide over the mantle is the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to earth’s mantle.The strong outer layer is called litosphere. Developed from 1950’s to 1970’s, plate tectonics is the modern version of continental
