  • Raised Marine Features, Radiocarbon Dates, and Sea Level Changes, Eastern Melville Peninsula, Arctic Canada’ L.A
    ARCTIC VOL. 44, NO. 1 (MARCH 1991) R 63-73 Raised Marine Features, Radiocarbon Dates, and Sea Level Changes, Eastern Melville Peninsula, Arctic Canada’ L.A. DREDGE2 (Received 5 April 1990; accepted in revised form 9 October 1990) ABSTRACT. Radiocarbon dates from eastern Melville Peninsula indicatethat deglaciation of western Foxe Basin occurredabout 6900 years ago, although lateice persisted in an area northwest of Hall Lake and on the central plateau. Relative sea level was as high as 144 m above present at that time. ’ho new well-controlled sea level curves depict emergence as an exponential decay function. Marine limit elevations and nested curves indicate a major ice-loading centre in south-central Foxe Basin. Thesedata and archaeological dates suggest a secondary recent rebound centre in the northern part of the basin. Flights of raised beaches, prevalentin the area, are composed of angular limestone fragments and suggest that frost-riving occurs in shallow foreshore environments. The prominentwash line near the marine limit suggests that Foxe Basin had less sea ice cover prior to 6OOO years ago but that coastal processes have been similar to present since that time. Key words: Arctic, coasts, archaeology, radiocarbon dating, glacial history, emergence, sea level, geomorphology RESUMl?.

    6 Landforms Key Words: landform, adapt, mountain, piedmont, hill, valley, plain, cape, coastal plain, plateau, peninsula, island, archipelago, isthmus What does the land look like where you live? Is it flat? Are there gentle rolling hills? Are there rugged mountains? Imagine that you are flying in an airplane over the area where you live. What do you think it would look like from the air? The land on Earth has many different shapes and features, called landforms. You can see several of the Earth’s landforms in the drawing below. MOUNTAIN: the tallest type of landform, higher than a hill PIEDMONT: an area of land at the HILL: bottom of a mountain range a raised area on Earth, not as high as a mountain PLATEAU: an area of high, flat land VALLEY: a low area between COASTAL PLAIN: mountains a flat area or hills between PLAIN: ocean and an area of CAPE: higher land mostly flat land a small piece of land jutting into a body of water (smaller than a peninsula) PENINSULA: a body of land that sticks out and is almost completely surrounded by water 1. How are a plateau and a plain different? 2. How are a peninsula and a cape alike? How are they different? 3. Where would you find a piedmont? 30 Understanding Geography: Map Skills and Our World - Level 4 Name the Landform Below are some photographs of the same landforms that you see in the drawing on page 30.

  • Memoir Relating to the Isthmus Crossing at the Chiriqui Lagoon
    MEMOIR RELATING TO THE ISTHMUS CROSSING AT THE CHIRIQUI LAGOON, TO THE PRESIDENT OP THE UNITED STATES. JUNE 1, 1858. WASHINGTON: 1858. Washington, June 1, 1858. Sm: It may be fairly presumed that tlie necessity on the part of the United States of creating more intimate relations with some or all of those Spanish American states that lie between Mexico and the republics of South America is too apparent to be longer the subject of controversy or debate. To say nothing of other considerations, quite apparent to all who are in a condition to judge of our true policy in reference to that country, the importance of securing, without delay, a transit route from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, at points where the best and safest harbors can be obtained, is becoming more mani- fest every of Britain day. The governments Great and France have 5 within a few years, attempted, each of them, to secure this advan- tage, and thereby to compel the United States, in a great measure, to pay tribute to them. And the former of these governments has been so far successful in its policy as to induce the United States to enter into the stipulations of the Glayton-Bulwer treaty, by which, as it cannot itself monopolize this privilege in the Central American states, it is content to arrest the progress of the United States by obtaining their consent to a joint exclusion from any occupancy within the limits of those states. This is manifestly injurious to the United States, and it is clearly the true policy of the government to get rid, by abrogation or otherwise, of the effect of these stipulations.
