Chapter 10-13 web questions
11.) The west nile virus of 2002 is the most wide spread of all the invasive species. It was from coast to coast but more prevolent on the Eastern half of the US.
Zebra mussels first met US waterways in Ohio and Michigan. By 1999 those Zebra Mussels spread to Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Vermont, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.
12.) I was correct, the china has lost forest area over the last 15 odd years. China has lost more and more of their total forest extent at a steady pace. It raises 4 percent over a five year period of time. The UK on the otherhand has no growth or decline whatsoever, their line is flat.
13.) Indonesia had the most protected mangroves on the national level. Brazil, Australia, Indonesia, Venezuela, and Papua New Guinea have the largest supplies of mangroves. Ideal climate is the reason for the locations of these places and mangrove populations. They are all on the same general latitudes.
I picked the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. It is a grassland biome, in centralized Australia. It is a cultural center for some aboriginal tribes, and home to the Rufous hare-wallaby and the Kuniya, the woma python. There is nothing like it where i live but the rock formations remind me of similar ones in New Mexico.
The final part of the assignment i could not reach, the website was either no longer there or under construction. The site was, www.epa.gov/wateratlas/geo/maplist.html .
