How have the nations systems of mountains and waterways influenced the development of the united states
Andreyy89

The waterways and mountains of the United States, much like the rest of the world, have had a significant impact on where people settled and how towns and cities interacted with one another. Large mountain ranges served as natural barriers between groups, causing distinct regional shared cultures to develop due to the relative isolation and shared geography that mountain ranges create. The opposite is true for rivers, which connected communities through ease of travel, trade, and shared access to water and other natural resources.

Serpentine

  • Characteristics: rich in magnesium and water, light to dark green, greasy-looking and slippery feeling. It can resist the transfer of heat. A source of asbestos, architectural stone, ornamental stone, gem material

Green Schist

  • Formation: they form by regional metamorphism of mafic igneous rocks through depth of burial, and proximity to batholiths.
  • Characteristics: The green is due to abundant green chlorite
  • Minerals present: actinolite and epidote mainly, but they can also include quartz, orthoclase, talc, carbonate minerals, and amphibole.

Basalt Pillow

  • Characteristics: they are volcanic igneous rocks, very dark, almost black color.

Umber

  • Characteristics: is not one precise color, but a range of different colors, from medium to dark, from yellowish to reddish to grayish depending on the iron oxide and manganese in the clay
