When you hear “Hudson Bay” you think one of two things, where is that? Or maybe so what about it, it’s just a bay? What if I were to tell you, you were wrong. There are many parts to the Hudson Bay you don’t know. some of these will include the description, history, geography, how it was theorized on how it was made,and the marine life. The hudson bay has many different aspects to it but one of the most interesting, is the theory on how it was made but I will discuss it in more in depth later on. The Hudson Bay is located in the in the northeastern part of Canada. “Hudson Bay has a severe continental climate. January temperatures average −20 °F (−29 °C), while July temperatures average only 47 °F (8 °C). Annual averages are 9.3 °F (−12.6 °C), but extremes range from −60 °F (−51 °C) in the winter to 80 °F (27 °C) in the summer (Hudson Bay | Sea, Canada).” Hudson Bay has a very big range is climate in the summer is foggy and calm, the fall is cool and has a lot of fog but clears up later. The spring cloudy and fair weathered, winter is very cold, calm with no fog. “Hudson Bay has a shallow and quite smooth floor, averaging 330 feet in depth, with a maximum around 900 feet. The eastern coast is bordered, at a distance of some 200 miles (Hudson Bay | Sea, Canada).” THe Hudson Bay is mostly small sediment at the bottom and there are many rivers that go into and out of the hudson …show more content…
As the many rivers of the Hudson Bay feed into it fresh water is being inputted as well and has a low salt level compared to a lot of oceans. The sea life in the Hudson Bay is incredible. The Hudson Bay is a big home for animals that live inside and
(See Appendix B) Trois-Rivieres has a climate that is very similar to elsewhere in Canada, which is characterized by fluctuating temperatures month-to-month. In particular, Trois-Rivieres’s climate is continental, but it is humid due to its close proximity to a river. (See appendix). The summers are warm with temperatures that rise to 25°C. Autumn tends to be quite cool, but it is not uncommon to have days that are unreasonably hot or cold. Winter can be short and frigid ranging from -7.3°C to -17.6°C. The precipitation annually is quite low, but in May to October, it is quite heavy (See appendix A). The Two major rivers are close to Trois-Rivieres and they there are called the St. Lawrence River and Saint-Maurice River.
First off, to understand the climate of the Tampa Bay area, you must comprehend what is going on around the state of Florida. The first of many weather patterns that effect Tampa Bay’s climate are air masses. “An air mass is a large body of air
The Port Huron Statement was a manifesto written by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) that details the paradoxes in American society and the need for social change. This manifesto was written in 1962 during the time of the Civil Rights Movement. During this period, African Americans continued to struggle to become integrated into American society. There was still segregation although African Americans were promised equality by the American government that was supposed to be “of, by, and for the people.” The Port Huron Statement was a form of civil disobedience that argued for the active participation of students in democratic institutions to create social change and equality for all. The group discussed nuclear warfare, participatory democracy, and forming an anti-hierarchical society. They wanted to bring students together to fight for an equal and just society. However, they faced difficulties that stood in the way of their goal. They noticed that America did not have any explicit values or practical alternatives to the present. America was not trying to improve. Rather, they continued to live the same and influenced others to
Television commercials, print ads, and billboards in the Washington, DC, area are asking residents to connect two things many might find unrelated: lawn care and seafood. In one commercial, a man stuffs a big plateful of grass in his mouth after a voice-over says, “Spring rains carry excess lawn fertilizers through our sewers and rivers and into the Chesapeake Bay, where the blue crab harvest has been extremely low. So skip the fertilizer until fall, because once they’re gone, what’s left to enjoy?”(Environment, p. 7)
Fur trading started between the Europeans along with the Aboriginals when the most valuable beaver pelts was a substituted for metal and clothing goods such as iron knives and axis, copper kettles, blankets and trinkets. The beaver pelts were well desired by the Europeans for the reason that using this fur for headgear provided an elegant way to keep dry. However these pelts were for fashion, as men and women could be instantly noted within the social hierarchy by according to their beaver hats. It was so valuable that the sand on the floor was filtered to save every hair that has fallen off. For the Europeans, captivating advantages of the rich furs from the Indians in the New World was a major factor in generating handsome profits, and there is no other pelt exchanging business enterprise like the Hudson's Bay Company. It is the oldest venture of Canada and it inspired many by its domination in the fur trading industry during its early years. They equipped their own armies, minted its own coins and even issued its own medals. The company had controlled fully one-third of present-day Canadian territory and were thought by many as a kingdom by itself in the fur industry. They had trading posts from the very north Arctic Ocean to Hawaii and as far south as San Francisco. HBC's revenue didn't generate simply from this one way trade in furs to Europe; it also consists of large amounts of European goods to North America. These goods incorporated many other products that local people cannot construct such as gunpowder, bullets, weapons, tobacco, kettles, pots, beads, fishing hooks, needles, scissors, and so much more. The Hudson's Bay Company showed a great measure of success since its formation, but it didn't come without s...
Both, people and animals, use the Bays resources every day and have done so for centuries. One of the Bay's biggest resources is its oysters. Oysters are filter feeders which means they feed on algae and clean the water. The oysters feed on algae and other pollutants in the bay, turning them into food, then they condense the food down to nutrients and sometimes develop pearls. Filtering the water helps the oysters grow, and also helps clean the Chesapeake Bay.
They also look after the quality of coastal waters by watering down, sifting, and settling deposits, left-over nutrients and contaminants. They are highly productive ecosystems and provide habitats and act as nurseries for all manner of life.
The climate of the Canadian Shield is somewhat the same as the weather in Ottawa. the climate in the northern part of the Canadian Shield is long and cold winters and short and warm summers. The southern part of the Canadian Shield has cold and snowy winters and warm summers.
In the early history of Ellis Island, much of the upper New York Bay, which consisted of oyster banks,
Prince Rupert and Prince George are separated by the Coastal Mountains, Prince Rupert is on the windward side while Prince George is on the leeward side. This would cause heavy precipitation in Prince Rupert while Prince George gets limited precipitation because it is covered in a rain shadow due to the dry winds coming over the mountain. For instance, Prince Rupert’s total precipitation is 2414 mm however Prince George’s total precipitation is 621 mm, making Prince Rupert maritime and Prince George continental. Finally, relief precipitation is a major factor to the two diverse climates of Prince George and Prince
In New Hampshire it’s known as Qua-hogging, some even call it the devil’s work. However my fellow Baymen and I in Oyster Bay, NY call it clamming. There are many different kinds of clams that one may “clam”, I would like to focus on the hard shell clam “Mercenaria mercenaria.” The socioeconomic affect from clamming has effects on both the Baymen, their communities, as well as the Quahogs. Clamming has shaped entire communities in the New England area, creating a certain type of people, as well as ensuring the success of the quahog in the New England area. A particular place of focus for the commercial clamming industry is a small sleepy town called Oyster Bay, in NY.
The average elevation in the Hudson Plains is 120m above sea level. It is a flat lowland area. The land is made up of mineral soils, with few outcrops of underlying sandstone and shale. This land was created when the weight of glaciers depressed the Hudson Bay region and the ocean waters flooded areas up to 300 km inland from the current coastline. Then, during the retreat of the huge continental ice sheets, drainage into the Hudson Bay was blocked and lakes (Agassiz and Ojibway for example) were formed along th...
For the first year of production, all of the old Hudsons were dropped, either for being dated or just not doing well in the market. The all-new Hudsons were based on existing Nash bodies with design features to keep them different. All Hudson production was also moved out of Detroit into Nash's main plant at Kenosha, Wisconsin.
In Jamaica, the climate is tropical and humid with warm to hot temperatures all year round. The average temperature in Jamaica is between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Jamaican nights are considered cooler than the days and the mountain areas are cooler than the lower land throughout the year. Jamaica is an overall sunny climate with minimal periods of extended rainfall outside of its rainy season. The coldest season of the year is winter. While it does not snow during the winter months, the climate is cooler due to the winter activities in the mountains. When compared to Jamaica, the United States has a broad range of climates. Due to its large size and wide range of geographic features, United States has examples of nearly every global climate. The northern part of the country tends to be cooler than the south. In general, summers are hot and humid in the plains and southern states while the southwest states are very hot and quite dry. The coldest season of the year is winter. Winter in the southern states is mild, while in the north, northeast, and in the western mountains, conditions are often quite cold with heavy snow and sub-freezing
Earth is the only planet in the Solar System that has liquid water. The ocean contains ninety seven percent of the earth’s water and covers almost three quarters of the planet. There are four different oceans, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and the Arctic. Tides and currents occur in all three of these oceans. Many different kinds of fish and mammals also make their homes in these oceans. All of these oceans are connected to each other in some way. Humans find oceans to be very interesting, beautiful, and exploring.
