The first thing to say is that there are two geographical features with the same name: the Rocky Mountain System and the Rocky Mountains (s.s.) that are part of it.The complete orographic system is something like a very varied sample of geological and tectonic processes.The system extends for more than 2982 miles, from Canada to the southern United States, (state of New Mexico). Its transverse extension varies between 68 and 300 miles, with the eastern edge being very close to Denver, and constituting a prominent feature within the central plains of the continent.The far west is not far from Salt Lake City, Utah, and is separated from the Sierra Nevada, Cascade, and Coastal chains-farther west-by the Great Basin and the Columbia River Plateau.The Rocky Mountains end before entering Alaska, not the System that contains them, which is also known to include the highest peaks in North America. In the United States, the highest height is recorded at Mount Elbert in Colorado, showing 4,401 m.s.n.m.Also in the Rocky Mountains is the watershed of the continent, which obviously separates the basins that drain towards the Pacific from those that drain towards the Atlantic.

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!
