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.

Which type of reef forms very closel to the shoreline of a volcanic island
ra1l [238]
They are called fringing reefs. They grow directly from shore and form borders along the shoreline. When a fringing reef continues to grow upward from a volcanic island that has sunk entirely below the sea level, an atoll is formed. Atolls are usually circular or oval in shape, with an open lagoon in the center. The fringing reef is the most common type of coral reef. They however tend to be very sensitive to human induced pollution in the water and are easily destroyed by such.

I found a bed bug in my room. I told my mom and she blamed me Bc my room wasn’t clean. Yeah, I been not cleaning up. And she thi
babymother [125]

Answer:

I don't think it was because your room wasn't clean. The main cause of bed bugs is travel, which means most likely you got one on you when you went outside or something, and you accidentally got it into your room. Bed bugs hitchhike on luggage, clothing, people, etc.

If there are blood stains or dark/rusty spots on your bed/pillow, there are definitely bed bugs. The bloodstains/spots come from you crushing the bed bugs accidentally. The place where bed bugs are (in this case, your room), may also begin to smell bad. You might also see eggs laid by the bed bugs.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!
