Hi there

Facts about the Great Plains

1) They support one of the lowest population densities in the United States

2) Occupy around 500,000 miles of west-central North America

3) Millions of American bison roamed the Great Plains before their near-extermination by market hunters in the late 1800s

4) Through dedicated conservation efforts, bison have made an impressive comeback both on public and private lands.

5) Along wildlife other than bison were pronghorn, elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, etc.

6) Cast in the rainshadow of the Rockies, the Great Plains harbor the greatest remaining expanses of prairie, a highly-endangered habitat, in the country.

7) While many presume the Great Plains to be relentlessly level, the province actually contains much topographic variety.

8) There are island mountain ranges, especially on the Missouri Plateau---the Bears Paw Mountains, the Sweetgrass Hills, the Black Hills, for example.

9) The Great Plains of interior North America constitute one of the largest grassland expanses in the world

10) For thousands of years, human cultures as varied as the Kiowa, the Blackfeet, the Spanish and the Americans have explored, hunted, settled and fought over these vast spaces.

Fill in the sentences below with the processes and coastal landforms associated with longshore drift. Fill the appropriate blank
alina1380 [7]

1. Waves hitting at an angle and then bending around features of the coast is known as wave refraction.

2. Landforms associated with longshore drift form where the sediment is plentiful enough to create them.

3. When there is longshore drift, the overall direction of sand transport is parallel to the coast..

4. In order to produce longshore drift, the direction of waves must not be perpendicular to the coast.

5. A baymouth bar forms when longshore drift creates a ridge of sand separating a waterway from the ocean.

6. The direction that sediment is traveling along a coast is called the downstream direction.

Explanation:

Waves forms different kinds of land form in the coastal areas. Waves hit coast in a particular angle It is known as wave refraction. When sediments get deposited in the coastal areas and forms a bar which get detached from the shore is called long shore bar.

To create long shore drift the direction of wind should not be perpendiular to the coast. Direction will be parallel. A baymouth bar is formed when a ridge of sand is created and separates the waterway from ocean. Sediments travel along the coast in downstream direction.

Great beach view, easier access to fish, more variety of tuna markets, other than that it’s pretty basic unless you count how easy it is to be flooded by a natural disaster

The best bibliogaphic entry would probably be: Smythe, Clark. <em>Unsinkable: Folly on the Titanic</em> Little, Brown: New York, 1976.

That is because it seems to be a book about the Titanic itself, whereas the other ones have to do with:

  • topics which are less directly related to the subject-matter (the first entry is about maritime laws and the third one is about the animal and plant populations of the lands near the North Pole),
  • personal, relative accounts of the events (like the fourth entry, which is an autobiography of a survivor and therefore describes the wreck through the character's own perspective) as opposed to more factual material.
