Cascade Range

(Beschta and Ripple 2010). These wolves produced a trophic cascade, where a higher level of food chain affects a lower one. This cascade began by the wolves causing elk (Cervus elaphus) removal and relocation and led to trees quintupling in size. Seeing the positive effects wolves had on trees, more national parks and states began facilitating this natural ecology management. By initiating a wolf presence in certain areas, a trophic cascade occurs and thus allows for tree recruitment and…

eruption that produce about 12 cubic miles of magma. The Mount Mazama volcano has been recorded as one of the largest volcano eruption that has taken place in the last 10,000 years. The Mount Mazama volcano was one of the major volcanoes at the Cascade Range. The range of Mount Mazama’s summit was roughly between 11,000 and 12,000 prior to its climatic eruption. The climatic eruption took place in two stages. The first stage took place at a solitary vent that caused a Plinian eruption. There was…

This map was drawn by Lieutenant Joseph Dixon, United States Topographical Engineers, under the direction of Captain G. Thom. It shows the routes traveled by the Command of Maj. E. Steen, U.S. War Department, in 1860 during campaign against Snake Indians. This survey map is a significant early depiction of of Eastern Oregon, bounded by three rivers, the Willamette, Columbia and Snake Rivers. This map is said to have its origin in Steen's Topographical Memoir of the Command Against the Snake…

There are many land formations and I chose these three. The first one is a canyon, it’s located in Arizona and its name is Grand Canyon. The second one is a volcano it’s found in Washington State, Cascade Range and it is named Mount St. Helens. The last one is a plateau and it can be found in central Asia and it is called Tibetan Plateau. And then I’ll be comparing the different land forms. The Grand Canyon is in Northern Arizona with an elevation of 8,000 feet. The process of the…

followed a long response interval typical. Some key words to describe the geography of (place) include Mount St Helens is located in the U.S. in Washington. The Cascade Mountains sound Lowland separates the western section of the state from the eastern section. The Cascade Mountains of Washington are part of a long mountain range that stretches southward from British Columbia into Cartern California. Mount St Helens is located on a convergent plate boundary.…

Parkinson’s disease is a medical condition in which movement of the body is affected by an irregularity of the nervous system. The most common symptom that emerges for victims of this disease is tremors as well as stiffness or slowing of movement. Environmental triggers (such as exposure to toxins), genetic mutations, and the increase of age are all factors that contribute to the development of the disease. Although Parkinson’s disease is incurable, treatment can ease the symptoms. Treatments…

Glioblastoma (GBM) is considered a primary brain tumor which is extremely aggressive and difficult to treat. Glioblastoma is demarcated by highly aggressive proliferation with great invasive potential as well as refractory to present treatments due to suppression of pro-apoptotic pathways (Karmakar et al., 2007). Such factors up-regulated in cancer involve cell proliferation, cell invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, and resistance to chemo and radiotherapy (Kunnumakkara et al., 2008).…

ecosystems in southwestern Canada and the western United States (Arno and Hoff 1989). According to Arno and Hoff, the distribution of whitebark pine is split between two broad sections. One section extends from the British Columbia Coast Ranges to the Cascade Range, and to the Sierra Nevada, while…

The transportation of the gas and nutrients in the blood is brought about by angiogenesis through the vascular network. It is therefore a physiologic process important to mechanisms like wound healing, menstruation, tissue growth and embryonic development (Griffioen & Molema, 2000). Endothelial cells which line the blood vessels are in direct contact with blood. Below the layer of endothelial cells, the pericytes (structural support cells) surround the blood vessels along with fibroblasts,…

Ashna Rajpal BMGT 364 The Cascades Survival Simulation The Cascades Survival Simulation is one of the many situations created to help teams develop and understand each other better. This test challenges our decision making and interpersonal skills as a team. In this situation, our group has traveled to the Cascade mountain range. As the weather starts getting bad, we realize it is not a good idea to stay there because there is a heavy storm approaching the mountains quickly. As the weather gets…
