The plants in The desert and the Chaparral Shrubland of the California Region share many adaptations though they are not closely related. The deserts in North America cover the regions from the northwest United States to western Mexico and the southern parts of Texas and New Mexico to north central Mexico. The Chaparral Shrubland of the California Region ranges from southern Oregon to northern Baja California (Vankat 2003). Rain rarely falls in these deserts and when it does the precipitation to

earth. This heat energy is obtained from hot rocks present inside the earth. The world ‘geothermal’ comes from the Greek works ‘geo’ refers to earth and ‘thermal’ refers to heat. This renewable energy source keeps produces heat inside the earth which makes it exhaustible to the mankind. Almost 4,000 miles beneath the earth’s surface, this phenomenon known as geothermal energy gets generated deep inside the earth’s core. The outer core is made up of very hot magma or melted rock surrounding a solid
The Salton Sea is California’s largest man-made lake in California but it is also the largest source of man-made pollution in the United States (Iovenko). It is located in southern Riverside and the northern Imperial counties (CDFW). The Salton Sea has an interesting history; it started out as a resort that helped the California economy and now it has it has turned into an abandoned wasteland that will take millions of dollars away from California’s budget to fix. The decline of the Salton Sea has
been to the Mary DeDecker Native Plant Garden? Although the spectacularly precipitation-filled winter did not erase the effects of many consecutive years of drought in California, still, the Dedecker Native Plant Garden had its own show of blooms this year. The pinks and purples of lupines and penstemons shown through in spring and became a flush of golden yellows of rabbit brush and goldenrod by autumn. More than 40 species, native to the Eastern Sierra, of flowering herbs, grasses and shrubs were

Wyatt helped out the community because he was a policeman. Everybody will remember Wyatt from when he had the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. When Wyatt was not doing anything he liked to fill in the free time by gambling. Wyatt’s only known run for office was when he ran against his half
salton sea and dead sea itself certainly draw our attention to stop and investigate the area. We decided to avoid a freeway and get to the area through Joshua Tree National Park. We cut across Joshua Tree National park left Mojave desert and came out in Colorado desert right by Salton Sea. As soon as we reached the area i noticed a strange and unpleasant smell. The area had post apocalyptic look with the surrounding structures standing in ruins. The sea was the dull blue of a cataract, surrounded
boundaries of a biome. A biome is made up of many different ecosystems. The ecosystems tend to have the same pants and animals as neighboring biomes around the boundaries. The major biomes are the tundra, taiga, tropical rain forest, temperate forests, desert, grassland, savanna, chaparral, and marine. Each biome has it’s own characteristics such as the tundra. The tundra is a biome that is located in the Northern Hemisphere of the world. It circles the North Pole and reaches down to the taiga. The
The painted cerulean sky, palm trees swaying in the distance - with the muggy weather and the views of the empty desert stretching for an eternity; a classic portrayal of a midsummer road trip through California - endless hours spent in the car, family reunion, and walks in the unbearable heat pieced one of my most memorable life trips together. If there’s one thing that I learned from this trip, it would be to live in the moment and enjoy the little things in life. Spending more than nine hours
Mono: fish could not survive in the salty water, the water was harsh to swim in because of the chemicals and salinity, the scenery was unlike other lakes because there were no trees. Mono Lake appeared to be an isolated lake in the middle of the desert, which DWP could use as they wished. What they hadn't known at the time was the rich history of the lake and the important place it held in the biological world. The geological history of the Western United States has shaped Mono and given it the
The Colorado River's Help and Hindrance of Settlement in the Western United States Geographers can tell you that the one thing that most rivers and their adjacent flood plains in the world have in common is that they have rich histories associated with human settlement and development. This especially true in arid regions which are very dependent upon water. Two excellent examples are the Nile and the Tigris-Euphrates rivers which show use the relationship between rivers and concentrations

The Santa Ana Winds, Didion and Thomas describe the indomitable power of the Santa Ana phenomenon, a time when warm dry winds breathe flame into the hills surrounding the city of angels. Much like certain chaparral of the southern California Hills the texts spring from the same root - both texts speak to the immeasurable and awesome power of this meteorological event, sharing similarities in vivid diction and, at times, imagery. In spite of these surface level parallels, however, these two texts
forests are owned by the U.S. government for 95% and are used for lumber and building-materials industries. The state forests and the national forests attract millions of tourists each year. Other famous tourist spots are the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, meteor craters, ancient Native American ruins, the Spanish colonial ruins and the Navajo and Hopi reservations. Golf courses and other leisure facilities attract a large amount of tourists as well.

Its beak also has a faint curve to it. The cactus wren makes its home in a variety of desert environments, most commonly in the foothills with all manner of scrub such as yucca, mesquite, and its namesake, cactus. One of the most numerous birds of the city is quail who tend to live in washes and bushes as they are often too heavily weighted
way across… just make yourself at home in the swamps of Arkansas. for this is Rohwer and Jerome. But now, you weary of the way. It's a big country, you say. It's a big history, hardly halfway through - with Amache looming in the Colorado desert, Heart Mountain high in wide Wyoming, Minidoka on the moon of Idaho, then down to Utah's jewel of Topaz before finding yourself at northern California's frozen shore of Tule Lake… Now regard what sort of shape this constellation takes.

If someone were to ask people ever wanted to see almost every artist from any genre of music in one place? Of course, anyone would say yes, because most people haven't been to an event like the huge one that happens in California each year. This is an event many people save up all year to attend just maybe once in their life time. The Coachella Music and Arts Festival, it is one of the most talked about festivals that this generation knows about. It is like a whole new world for most people each
opportunity in order to become successful. They came from different ends of the world to end up at a common destination: California. The Chinese were dreamers when they came to California; they hoped to profit from the Gold Rush. They left a feudal system that restricted many aspects off their lives (Daley 14-15). The Irish had visions of a more stable future, coming to California in search of steady jobs (Potter 621). They left Ireland for America to escape the Great Potato famine. Long before the
Nuclear Iconography in Post-Cold War Culture I wish in this paper to sketch a project involving nuclear iconography and post-Cold War culture. At the heart of this project is the claim that the current historical moment forms a legitimation crisis for the scientific, military, industrial, governmental, and "cultural" institutions whose interests are configured in the design, manufacture, deployment, and "use" of nuclear weapons. Within this moment, a variety of progressive and regressive movements
