Dominican Republic‚ such as mahogany‚ satinwood‚ juniper‚ and pine. Unfortunately though‚ logging as well as farming has destroyed much of the Dominican Republic’s native forests. The deforestation of these areas has caused a loss in soil fertility‚ coastal damage‚ and erosion of the top soil. Ecologists believe that there has been almost a 90 percent overall loss of native forests over time. (Dominican Republic in Pictures. (n.d.).

Aeolian features form in areas where wind is the primary source of erosion. The particles deposited are of sand‚ silt and clay size. The particles are entrained in by one of four processes. Creep occurs when a particle rolls or slides across the surface. Lift occurs when a particle rises off the surface due to the

escarpments in the landform region. In particular‚ Flowerpot island was a striking sight that showed the incredible power of weathering and erosion. Additionally‚ the abundance of freshwater lakes and rivers I saw‚ such as the St. Lawrence River or the Great Lakes‚ demonstrated how fortunate Canada is to hold so much drinkable water. I had no trouble with crossing the landform region‚ as there was no difficult terrain that I struggled to

WAVES When people think of waves they may think of a nice vacation or maybe a storm. Most people may not think about what causes waves or how waves can get so tall and powerful. In addition‚ people may not think about how tides are formed. The movement of waves includes information about how waves form‚ how they move‚ what happens when waves interact‚ and some of the effects of waves. When people visit a beach‚ they might realize the daily rise and fall of the water‚ or how high and low

material along the shore‚ which eventually builds up over time to form a beach. This occurs when the swash is stronger than the backwash‚ depositing more sediment than it transports elsewhere. Although beaches are a landform of deposition‚ they can also be considered to be a landform of erosion. When waves are huge and high‚ the backwash is more powerful than the swash‚ removing more loose material than it deposits. These types of waves are known as destructive waves. The smallest particles are

National Park Writing Assignment The national park that I picked is Fundy national park located in New Brunswick. It is part of the Atlantic Maritime ecozone which consists of the Appalachians region and the coastal plains. I chose to represent the Appalachians region on my poster and represented the four seasons (spring‚ summer‚ fall and winter). The climate in this region is cooler summers and warmer winters and a lot of precipitation. The vegetation in the Atlantic
