Soils:
Qatar being a desert environment, most people think that it is not possible to grow plants there. This is not the case. There are 5 different soil types to consider throughout Qatar:
● Rawdha soils: these soils have a small amount of organic matter, low water retention properties and poor structural properties. Also, rawdha soils give rise to surface crusting which interferes with the plant-air-water relationship and inhibits the emergence of seedlings.
● sabhka soils: are soils that are made of sand.. Most of that sand in these soils is driven by wind, which makes it structurally unstable and unsafe for travelers.
● Lithosols: The most common soil in the region. Relatively shallow, 10-30 cms in depth and are a calcareous sand loam, covered with rock debris, overlying a layer of rock fragments over limestone bedrock.
● Marine fill: was used a lot in the creation of Doha.
The sandy nature of the soils makes them difficult to build on due to them being less structurally stable than other soils. This is important to consider when developing. There is also simosa limestone present on the site. The limestone bedrock consists of light brown to light greyish pink and red. The limestone is moderately weak to strong. Strength can vary depending on amount of rainfall.
Wildlife:
There are many different species that live in Qatar. There seems to not be a lot due to the harsh environmental conditions but there actually is quite a few species of wildlife that call Qatar home. There are some mammals but there are also a lot of insects like spiders.
● Mammals:

Lithologically the Kimmeridge Clay Formation can be subdivided into four units (Figure 2), despite of beds at the base of the succession are poorly exposed. However, in contrast, the units from mid-eudoxus Zone to the top of the formation that are well seen in the Formation. At the base of the formation until the eudoxus Zone, the strata are made up almost entirely of bioturbated shelly clays and in between beds, horizons of oil and bituminous are present. The upper part of the Eudoxus Zone until the upper Pectinatus Zone the composition is kerogen-rich mudstones and coccolith limestone.
The site visited on this day was informally known as the Bedrock Knob (NTS grid reference: 120 342). It is in an area where patches of limestone and exposed bedrock are common. The bedrock is part of the Preca...
From the top of the rock you can see gnamma pits. These are areas where the rock has weathered, leaving pits in the tock that soil builds into and plants hold it in
Mississippi has a variety of different soils .The three general soils are 1) the river flood plain, known as the Delta, 2) a loess region, or bands of soils formed in windblown material that adjoins the Delta, and 3) Coastal Plain. The Mississippi Delta is better for growing row crop, while the loess and Coastal Plain region are better for animal production and forestry. The loess and Coastal Plain regions are divided based on similar soils, geology, climate, water resources, and land use called Major Land Resource Areas. The Mississippi Delta’s soil comes from sediments left by flooding various rivers in the region, rather than being a typical Delta formed by the mouth of a river. In the Delta most of the land is farmed, with three-fourths of the cropland to the north. Controlling surface water and drainage are major soil management issues. In the Delta soils are naturally diverse because of their alluvial origin. Particle sizes within the sediment decrease as distance from the originating stream increase. Another factor in Delta soil formation us surface water movement over time, because soils that formed under standing water have different properties than soils formed under moving water. Soils with large amounts of clay particles have unique features. When the soil is dry, small round aggregates form at the surface that look like shotgun buckshot, which is where the popular name for Delta clay soils “buckshot” came from. Soils with large clay content have very slow water filtration rates; this has led to significant aquaculture and rice production in the region. When floodwaters receded in the Delta, strong winds blew some of the dry sediment left by flooded river to the adjacent uplands to form the loess areas. Because of eas...
Soon after the sea reached longer distance westward and the sandy tidal deposits were converted to deep water deposits. Mancos Shale is the name given to represent these deposits, which are comprised of organic material and small particulates. Another interesting fact to note is that this type of sediment consists of fossils. These remains can include prehistoric shell fish, shark teeth, and many other types of organisms. The hills seen at the foundation of the mesa in the Montezuma Valley are comprised of gray
B. Soil- Very dry and can be compact and clumpy as well as loose and sandy. The soil is generally fertile if given water plants can grow. Although some desert soil can be found to have high salt levels making it acidic.
Each type of soil has its characteristics in terms of water holding capacity. The first type is sand. Sand has the largest particles, with huge spaces between them, this is why sand doesn’t have the ability to hold water. Clay has the smallest particles compared to the other type, so it has good water storage qualities. It’s sticky to the touch when wet, but smooth when dry. () Clay has many fine pores, which gives it a higher capacity to hold water, than other types of soil. Eventually, it holds a higher amount of water than sand does.

Irony can often be found in many literary works. “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin is masterfully written full of irony. The characters of the short story, Mrs. Mallard, Josephine, Richards, Mr. Brently Mallard, and the doctors all find their way into Chopin’s ironic twists. Chopin embodies various ironies in “The Story of an Hour” through representations of verbal irony, dramatic irony, and situational irony.
As Qatar is situated on the coast, many of the state's traditional dishes contain seafood. However, lamb and vegetarian options also feature frequently on menus. Muslims refrain from eating pork, so you won't find any pork dishes in Qatar.

Libya is a Country located in northern Africa, 90% of Libya’s land is covered by the Sahara Desert. There are no lakes or rivers, all of the country’s water supply is from underground. Libya is one of the largest countries in Africa, but largely due to its vast desert environment, the population is less than most of the other countries. Libya also has no water above ground, everything comes either from the ocean or the underground water systems that irrigate the underside of Libya. Libya’s flag is solid green, the only flag in the world with one colour and design, Libya also has a huge history of religions and cultured as well as some of the oldest architecture on the planet.
One of my greatest hobbies is travelling the globe and I love to see new places. I enjoy experiencing new environment and culture. There are many countries to visit around the world and each country has something unique to offer. In every country, there are many beautiful places to see and tradition to learn. However, the country I have always wanted to visit is Italy. Italy is located in Europe and it is famous for its ancient history, architectural heritage, culture and even food. It is my dream to visit Italy with my family one day.
