Cascade Range

Overall the Btu/lb of the coal ranges from 12,210 to 15,150 on a dry basis and increases from the northern to the southern parts of the Raton Basin (Flores and Bader, 1999). The coal within the Vermejo Formation ranges from High Volatile bituminous C to low volatile bituminous (Rooper et al., 2006). Coal petrology indicates a vitrinite reflectance values of 0.57 to 1.58 percent…

THE NORTH KOREAN SPACE PROGRAM North Korea has been at odds with most of the world for quite some time. Following the division of the country in 1948, North Korea has been arguably the least transparent country in the world. The rise of super power nations such as the United States, Russia, and China has made North Korea even more non-transparent. North Koreans have kept much of their military research and development, space program, and every day life under tight lock down. Present day…

Fifteen year old Lucy Anika Mariana De Luca kicks the rock in front of her. The state she lived in had eight nicknames: the Centennial State, the Columbine State, the Last Frontier, the Last Old West State, the Mile High State, the Mountain State, the Rocky Mountain State and Switzerland of America. To her though, she called Colorado the Misery State. Granted Colorado wasn't bad but she would rather be back in England, hell she wouldn't mind being back in Washington D.C. She looks before she…

Earthquakes and volcanoes go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly or rice and beans. Where there are volcanos there are usually tectonic plates beneath them either pushing against or pulling away from one another. Take for instance the Cascade Mountain Range in Northern California and stretches through Oregon and into Vancouver, British Columbia and sits northeast of the San Andreas Fault line that runs 750 miles through California. This fault creates the tectonic boundary between the…

I understand the hazards associated with living in certain parts of the country that have volcanoes. I understand that the volcanoes found in Hawaii (Shield volcanoes) erupt differently and pose different dangers than the volcanoes in the Cascade Mountain Range (Composite volcanoes). Since I live in Portland, Oregon I was very interested in learning about the hazards involved with Composite volcanoes. Composite volcanoes can create deadly mud and debris flows called lahars which travel down the…

provides insight on the materials and processes from which the landscape was formed. I will briefly discuss each of the areas and provide insight on the types of rocks in which they are formed from. We will start with the Basin and Range which is an elongate mountain range that is separated by elongate valleys. This area was formed by alluvial fan which is a cone-shaped fan of sediment deposited by streams and fault-block mountain. The Blue-Wallowa Mountains is located from…

includes forests and large mountain ranges. Most of the mountains are capped in snow. There are five major volcanoes as part of the Cascade Range - Mount Baker, Glacier Peak, Mount Rainier, Mount Adams and Mount St. Helens. Mount Rainier is Washington's highest mountain at 14,410 feet above sea level. The longest river in Washington is the Columbia River and it empties into the Pacific Ocean. The largest natural lake in Washington is Lake Chelan. The Cascade Range divides the state into two…

Recent studies that sleep’s function goes far beyond rest and replenishment. It also involves a state of active offline information processing that is essential to the appropriate functioning of learning and memory. It has been established that there are three important stages in memory; new memories are initially acquired (encoding), become strengthened and reorganized (consolidation), and are finally recalled (retrieval) (Feld and Diekelmann, 2015). Memory is often divided into two categories…
