Fort McMurray, Alberta has one of the largest petroleum deposits in the world. One thousand times more oil then Saudi Arabia’s which makes Canada a safe oil resource for the world. This equals out to the same area as the State of Florida of oil filled land. The expense oil does not only come financially but environmentally. Fort McMurray is responsible for two thirds of Canada’s pollution and to mine this oil all trees must be cleared in the area which can vary from 4 to 6 square miles at
With the design of the steel barriers that would contain the repository, which is similar to a big steel box, the site would be good for thousands of years to come. The site is also located in a large basin which, if any of the nuclear
These rock piles are known as "Pluttons" which are MOLTON masses maybe several miles on diameter that are formed underground and later were uplifted. the strange shapes that they have, the different sorts of holes appearances to them were formed when they were still deep below the surface. The eastern part of the park is what is called the Colorado Desert. It a unique kind of cactus called the cholla. which is a very distinctive tall of cactus with many branches of spiny arms.
America Revealed "Electric Nation" In the series, American Revealed, aired an episode dedicated upon the topic about how America runs their energy and the different types of energy. At the beginning the host, Yul Kwon, talks about NASCAR and that the cars are a small percentage of the energy that is in the area/stadium; it is actually the broadcaster's, TV’s, and beer dispensers. Then he went to where 10% of America gets its energy, which is from a coal "canyon" in Wyoming where they basically dig and blow up huge holes on the ground in order to find coal and from there it gets distributed into trains and travels throughout the country. Then Kwon went on an airplane ride to discover how the power outage in the north happened in the 20thcentury, and how the wiring system works. Kwol discovered that the job was fairly risky and life ending because of the
The Point of view of novel is 1st person, Nick narrates. The first symbol is Valley of Ashes. Nick says, “This is a valley of ashes-a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air”. The Valley of Ashes is located between West Egg and New York City. It is similar to something dark and lifeless.
Thus, the Commission established the San Andreas Fault as a “continuous geologic structure extending for over 600 miles throughout much of California” (Zoback). Triangulation surveys, which are “optical measurements that detect changes in the angles between lines connecting monuments fixed in the ground,” proved to be one of the most noteworthy observations made after the earthquake of 1906 (USGS). Displacements in the earthquake were found, and the largest were observed at the fault and “decreased with distance from it, so that a previously straight line crossing the fault had become curved” (USGS). Ultimately, these observations led to the “theory of elastic rebound,” which was initiated by Professor H.F. Reid of John Hopkins University who had also served on Lawson’s Commission (Zoback). This theory is so important
Over the past two thousand years, perceptions of distance and scale have been continually exploded by technological advances. We now take for granted: airplanes, trains and roads; distribution systems that furnish ice-cool "Perrier" in the midst of a vast, baking desert. Yet even now, Nature with a flick of her skirt belies our pretensions to mastery. When you're in the middle of a scorching desert, there is only so much your air-conditioning unit can do. Coaches turn back before an approaching sandstorm.
Ogallala Aquifer Dennis W. Guffey, Angela Clawson, James Adamson, Rebecca Modrzynski GLG/220 November 10, 2014 Dave Santek Ogallala Aquifer Ogallala Aquifer The High Plains Aquifer system, also know as the leading geologic formation and more widely known as the Ogallala Aquifer occupies roughly 174,000 miles across eight states. The Ogallala is primarily made up of sand, gravel, clay along with groundwater filling in all the spots not occupied by dirt. The layout of the Ogallala was formed over ten million years ago by fluvial deposition from all the streams east of the Rocky Mountains. With the Ogallala being as old as it is, one would think it would dry up by now. Although, it is constantly recharged from all the rain and the snow
James Drake is an American born in 1946, lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His artwork, Cinco de Mayo, 1988-1989 uses steel and charcoal on paper as the medium. The social theme of this work is in reference to the Battle of Puebla. The charcoal drawing depicts the high tension and shows the Mexicans to be defenseless against the French. Ultimately the Mexican army was victorious over the French in
