Lewis and Clark led the first US expedition to the Pacific Coast from 1804 to 1806 as directed by President Thomas Jefferson. Their main objectives were to study the regions' geography, plants, animals, and native peoples along the Missouri River, and to establish trade and assert US sovereignty. Though they did not discover an all-water route to the Pacific, they succeeded in their mission by cataloging hundreds of new species, mapping the terrain, and fostering better relations with indigenous groups.

Thomas Jefferson commissioned Meriwether Lewis to lead an expedition to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and report back on plant and animal life and opportunities for trade. Lewis chose William Clark as co-leader of the Corps of Discovery expedition. Starting in 1804, their journey lasted over two years, covering over 7,500 miles to the Pacific Ocean and back. A key stop was the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers in present-day Washington, where they camped for two nights and met over 200 Native Americans.12.2 aboriginal astronomy

Aboriginal people had sophisticated knowledge of the solar system:
- They divided the year into lunar months based on the moon's phases and the important seasonal events. This was important for managing resources like fishing.
- They saw all parts of the universe as interconnected, with spiritual and physical realms both providing knowledge.
- They also saw patterns in the constellations, using stories and myths to describe astronomical observations, just as other ancient cultures did.History & Culture of Astronomy April 10, 2009 acloutier copyright

1) Many ancient cultures developed sophisticated astronomy traditions and systems for tracking celestial events, including African, Chinese, Australian Aboriginal, Mayan, Greek, Inuit, and European cultures dating back as far as 2,000 BC.
2) These traditions incorporated astronomy into cultural storytelling, calendars, rituals, and timekeeping and were used to make sense of the cosmos and understand celestial phenomena.
3) Key figures like Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler advanced scientific astronomy in Europe starting in the 15th century by developing heliocentric models and improving observational tools and methods.Chapter 2 Section 3 Notes

The document discusses the Sumerian civilization that emerged around 3200 BC in the Fertile Crescent region between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Mesopotamia. The Sumerians developed one of the earliest systems of writing called cuneiform using reed pens in wedge-shaped marks on clay tablets. They also made advances in mathematics, dividing time and circles into basic units still used today. Sumerian cities had distinct social hierarchies and believed in polytheistic religions where gods controlled nature and were worshipped in ziggurats.Sumer

Mesopotamia, located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq, was the site of early civilization and the development of cities. Many city-states formed along the fertile rivers, engaging in agriculture, trade, and developing writing and other early innovations. However, conflicts between the city-states weakened them, allowing the Babylonians to eventually conquer the region in around 1759 BC, marking the decline of Sumerian civilization.French revolution

The French Revolution was a period of radical social and political change in France where the citizens overthrew the king and queen due to factors like starving citizens, rising food prices, and debt. It led to France's first constitution, the abolition of feudalism, and the creation of a National Assembly as the French tried new forms of government after toppling the monarchy.

The French Revolution was a period of radical social and political change in France where the citizens overthrew the king and queen due to factors like starving citizens, high food prices, debt, and unfair taxation while the monarchy lived lavishly. This led to the creation of France's first constitution, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, the abolition of feudalism, and allowed the French to experiment with new forms of government like the National Assembly.French revolution[1]![French revolution[1]](https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/frenchrevolution1-110916131143-phpapp02-thumbnail.jpg?width=560&fit=bounds)

The French Revolution was a period of violent political and social change inspired by republican rule that changed French history. Causes included debt from helping the Americans in their revolution, an inefficient economy and taxation system, and an unfair estates system where the third estate had no representation or mobility. Though many countries were shocked by the violence, the revolution ultimately changed France's government structure and ended with a new monarchy, marking an important shift in its time.Plants reproduction process

An estuary is where freshwater meets and mixes with saltwater, creating tidal zones that change daily with the tides. Organisms in each tidal zone have special adaptations to avoid drying out when exposed to air, withstand waves, and escape predators. The zones range from the splash zone, exposed most of the time, to the low tide zone, underwater for long periods, with each requiring different survival strategies like burying in mud or building protective tubes.Intertidal Zones
Intertidal Zonesjenabc
油
The intertidal zone is the area between high and low tide that is alternately covered and exposed by the rising and falling of ocean tides. Organisms living in the intertidal zone must be adapted to frequent changes in temperature, salinity, and water movement as the tides come in and out. They face challenges of living in a habitat that fluctuates between aquatic and terrestrial conditions on a daily basis.Cities and attractions

The document describes the intertidal zone, where land meets the sea and is alternately submerged and exposed by tides. It is divided into four zones based on tidal exposure: the splash zone, high tide zone, middle tide zone, and low tide zone. Organisms in each zone have adapted to the varying temperatures, salinity, moisture, and sunlight exposure caused by the daily tides. Competition for space is also a major biological factor, as more zones have longer submergence times with greater resources.Lecture 6 Intertidal Zones

油
There are different types of intertidal zones including rocky shores, sandy beaches, and mangrove swamps. Each habitat presents unique challenges for organisms to adapt to, such as shifting sands or exposure to air and waves. The intertidal zone can be further divided into subzones from the spray zone to the lower intertidal zone. Organisms in each subzone have developed adaptations like thick shells or burrowing to survive in their particular environment and deal with changes from tides.Blackboard IM Quick Guide

油
Estuaries are semi-enclosed areas where fresh water and seawater meet and mix, forming one of the most productive environments on earth. They serve as protected habitat and vital breeding and feeding grounds for many species. Cities were often built near estuaries due to the abundance of seafood. There are four main types of estuaries that form from different geological processes: drowned river valleys, bar-built, tectonic, and fjords. Estuaries have varying salinity levels and substrates that influence the distribution of species and ecological processes within them.Week 3 ss lewis and clarke

President Jefferson tasked Meriwether Lewis and William Clark with leading an expedition to explore the territory west of the Mississippi River that had recently been acquired by the US in the Louisiana Purchase. Lewis and Clark were instructed to map the territory, find a practical water route across the continent to the Pacific Ocean, and document interactions with indigenous peoples and the environment. They departed in 1804 from St. Louis, Missouri, encountering various landforms, wildlife, Native American tribes, and climates as they canoed and hiked westward, applying the five themes of geography to their historic journey of discovery.Lewis And Clark Expedition Analysis

Thomas Jefferson became the third U.S. President in 1801 and reduced taxes and the size of government. Pioneers continued moving west across the Appalachian Mountains, pushing the frontier further, despite conflicts with Native Americans. Daniel Boone was a famous pioneer who blazed the Wilderness Road through Kentucky. Life on the frontier was difficult, with everything done by hand. Pioneers used rivers for trade but this was disrupted when Spain closed the port of New Orleans. Jefferson sought to purchase New Orleans to ensure continued trade, and ended up acquiring the entire Louisiana Territory from France instead. He then sent Lewis and Clark to explore the new territory.Darwin and origin of species

Introduction
After 1800, the United States militantly expanded westward across North America, confident of its right
and duty to gain control of the continent and spread the benefits of its superior culture. In John Gasts
American Progress (Figure 11.1), the white, blonde figure of Columbiaa historical personification of the
United Statesstrides triumphantly westward with the Star of Empire on her head. She brings education,
symbolized by the schoolbook, and modern technology, represented by the telegraph wire. White settlers
follow her lead, driving the helpless natives away and bringing successive waves of technological progress
in their wake. In the first half of the nineteenth century, the quest for control of the West led to the
Louisiana Purchase, the annexation of Texas, and the Mexican-American War. Efforts to seize western
territories from native peoples and expand the republic by warring with Mexico succeeded beyond
expectations. Few nations ever expanded so quickly. Yet, this expansion led to debates about the fate
of slavery in the West, creating tensions between North and South that ultimately led to the collapse of
American democracy and a brutal civil war.

During the 19th century, the United States expanded significantly westward. In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson purchased the Louisiana Territory from France, doubling the size of the country and opening up land that would become 15 present-day U.S. states.
