Did U know, Arizona and New Mexico almost merged as 1 state at 1 point?

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009
Their both similar states with the same topography,but Az became conservative while New Mexico became fairly liberal,would anyone support the idea of merging those 2 states into 1 state if worse came to worse,like population losses due to peak oil,economic ruin, population loss and so on?
Both Frnk!.

Do you think the upcoming GTA4 series will include a game set in Hong Kong?

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009
First is NYC, that’s a good choice. But I hope HK will be next (or somewhere) in line. HK has great topography, a cool subway system, Disneyland and so much gang activity (so they say). I know it probably won’t happen but what do you think?

If you visited a region that consisted mostly of igneous rocks, would you expect to find kart topography? Explain.

Karst Topography: irregular topography with sinkholes, sinks and sinking streams caused by groundwater dissolution of limestone.

Write a report about….

Section 1:Altitude: Imagine that you are driving up into the Rocky Mountains, from Topeka, KS (altitude 800′ above sea level) to Eagle, CO (altitude 6500′). You are traveling along 39°N latitude, so the only significant change is in altitude. Describe how you would expect the climate to change as you went up in altitude by about 6,000 feet - making sure to explain why you’d expect this change. I’m primarily interested in temperature changes here, but anything else you could add would be greatly appreciated.The two major climate factors you are going to look at are temperature and humidity–what happens to these two characteristics as you make your trip.

Section 2:Latitude: Imagine this time that you are flying along over land at a consistently low altitude from the Equator to the North Pole. [Yes, I know it may not actually be possible, but I said Imagine, didn't I?] This time the only significant change is in latitude. Describe how you would expect the climate to change as you went up in latitude from the equator to the pole - making sure to explain why you’d expect this change. Again, I’m primarily interested in temperature changes here, but anything additional would be greatly appreciated.The two major climate factors you are going to look at are temperature and humidity–what happens to these two characteristics as you make your trip.

Section 3:Global Circulation of the Atmosphere: Now you are flying back from the North Pole to the Equator along the same path you took above. This time you are paying more attention to the prevailing winds and precipitation. Describe how you would expect the climate to change as you go down in latitude from the pole to the equator - making sure to explain why you’d expect this change. Again, this time pay more attention to wind directions and amount of precipitation and pay most attention between and near 90°, 60°, 30°, and 0° latitudes.The two major climate factors you are going to look at are temperature and humidity–what happens to these two characteristics as you make your trip.

Section 4:Topography: How is climate affected by large bodies of water and by mountain ranges?

San Francisco and Columbus are at almost the same latitude and both are fairly close to sea level. However, San Francisco is downwind from the Pacific Ocean and Columbus is not near any large body of water. How would you expect San Francisco’s climate to be different from Columbus’ - and why?

The State of Washington is split by the Coastal Ranges of mountains into a western, windward section and an eastern, leeward (downwind) section. Consider how air would have to move coming from the Pacific Ocean onto land near Hoquium, going up and over the mountains to get to Yakima on the leeward side. How would you expect Yakima’s climate to be different from Hoquium’s - and why?
