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.

Where would you look to find out how distances on a map compare to the actual distance on land
Leni [432]

The correct answer is - at the low left part of the map.

The maps have multiple elements, and one of those elements is the scale. The scale can be found on the lower part on the map, on the left side. It serves to give us the information about the distance on the map, in comparison to the actual distance in reality. This information can be shown either as unit to unit, or as measurement to measurement.

Example:

1:100,000

This means that one unit on the map, will be equal to 100,000 same units in actual distance. So 1 cm on the map, will be 100,000 cm in real life.

Argumentati cu exemple afirmatia Oceanul atlantic este cel mai tanar ocean
german

Answer:

This statement is true since the formation of this ocean arose 200 million years ago, making it the last in shape during the division of the Pangea supercontinent.

Pangea began to fragment due to the force of Earth's tectonic plates, separating the ancient continent of America and leaving a large body of water in between.

Explanation:

The second major phase of Pangea's disintegration began at the beginning of the Cretaceous (150-140 million years ago), when the supercontinent Gondwana divided into four smaller continents (Africa, South America, India, and Antarctica / Australia).
