	Our Changing Continent
		Rivers (like waves) sort the rock debris, leaving the coarser materials near the head of the stream and carrying the finer materials downstream toward the coast.
		The shoreline deposits and shells at the edge of the Continental Shelf, in waters to 450 feet deep, are evidence of this marked drop in sea level during the Pleistocene.
		Such spectacular actions by nature in building continents are combined with the less noticeable processes of erosion and deposition that have gradually shaped and changed the face of the North American Continent and the entire planet throughout geologic time.

	Rivers (Geobop's World) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Rivers that flow down the slopes of volcanoes tend to follow a radial pattern, similar to the spokes of a bicycle tire.
		Rivers are generally fastest at their headwaters; mountain rivers may push huge boulders.
		Rivers and their tributaries form river systems that are separated from other river systems by a divide.

		Never in his life had he seen a river before -- this sleek, sinuous, full-bodied animal, chasing and chuckling, gripping things with a gurgle and leaving them with a laugh, to fling itself on fresh playmates that shook themselves free, and were caught and held again.
		In the beginnings of the river, you teeter on the edge of a hundred tiny watersheds where one drop of water is always tipping the balance from one stream to another.
		Rivers are exquisite in their abilities to nurture life, sublime in functioning detail, impressive in contributions of global significance.

		At this time, rivers flowed turbid with clay and silt, which settled out, plastering much of midcoast Maine with marine clays containing the shells of blue mussels and Arctic species of clams.
		During most of the twentieth century, academics have considered the typical habitat of white pines to be a place in the succession of old fields, but the pine was abundant and it called a different place home long before the white settlers came.
		As long as people restrict their experience to a small region (the experience of a local naturalist) they can keep in mind a list of species associations that are consistent within their home range.

	Cartographical Curiosities (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The notion that California was an island west of the continent of North America was a product of imaginative speculation born of geographical ignorance in the early 1600s.
		The Jesuit Padre Eusebio Kino finally determined that California was connected to the mainland at the mouth of the Colorado River.
		There are six other lands where his travels may lead him, such as the Land of Unhappy Love, with the Desert of Melancholy and the River of Tears, and the Land of Desires, beyond which lies a no-man's-land containing the towns of Separation and Hatred, and the Heath of Vexation.

	First Descents
		The 470-mile-long Tekeze River, from its headwaters near 13,881-foot Mt. Guna in northern Ethiopia to its confluence with the Atbarah, the last major tributary to the Nile, crosses Ethiopia's northern highlands while forming the border between the provinces of Eritrea and Gonder.
		Ever since first seeing the river in 1973, when we explored such rivers as the Awash, Baro, Omo and Blue Nile, I had wanted to return to run its infamous Tekeze Gorge, a 250-mile-long canyon, at places 7,000 feet deep--the deepest canyon in Africa.
		Below this bridge, the river gentles, and its name changes to the Satit and then to the Atbarah as it flows another 2,100 miles to the Nile and Mediterranean Sea.

	Backpacker Magazine - A Trail Of Two Rivers
		Stretching from Battery Rock on the Ohio River to Grand Tower on the Mississippi River, the 146-mile route sometimes follows dirt or gravel roads and occasionally crosses a state park campground or small town, but for the most part it's a forest path through a vast semi-wilderness.
		The River to River Trail also does double-duty as a leg of the American Discovery Trail, which traverses the continent.
		While One Horse Gap, directly on the River to River Trail, has some sensational vistas and old cemeteries and homesteads hidden among its rocky bluffs and glades of prairie grass, Jackson Hollow, a mile detour north of the trail, is more alluring.

		The rivers are not effective as transportation routes due to the existence of a large amount of rapids and cataracts.
		For example, the Zaire River is interrupted by 32 rapids and cataracts (which constitute the Livingstone Falls) in a descent of approximately 200 meters over a distance of 214 kilometers.
		In other continents the rivers offer the best entry into the interior from the coast (e.g the St. Lawrence and Mississippi and also served as a cheaper means of transportation for industrial goods but this is not the case in Africa.

	Whitewater on the Web
		But, more than simply a web site developed as a service for adventurous canoeists, rafters, or kayakers, Riversearch.com was conceived and designed as a portal to draw people with a common interest in whitewater rafting to a single site where they would be free to choose between outfitters.
		Those outfitters could promote and preserve the world's great rivers while maintaining the integrity of their sport.
		Outfitted rivers are indicated by name with an icon that reveals a list of member outfitters operating on that river.

		Gravel-bed rivers are both fascinating and of great practical significance to water resources managers.
		The Workshop brought together over 100 international scientists and river managers, to present their current research and to debate many aspects of gravel-bed river behaviour and management.
		It will be useful also for senior undergraduate and graduate students who are developing their own research directions, and seeking inspiration from the leaders in their field.

	From Rivers to Oceans
		River systems are groups of drainage basins and streams that drain water from specific areas of continents.
		The collected water is then delivered to the rivers, and in turn, sent the water to the oceans.
		Most rivers do not carry enough sediment to form deltas, or the earth material is swept away before it can be deposited at the mouth of the river.

		The Near Threatened listing is also a more precautionary approach, as it indicates that the recovery in western Europe is a genuine one and that conservation actions for this species need to be sustained, plus there is some concern about what is happening in parts of its range.
		Canalisation of rivers, removal of bank side vegetation, dam construction, draining of wetlands, aquaculture activities and associated man-made impacts on aquatic systems are all unfavourable to otter populations.
		Acidification of rivers and lakes results in the decline of fish biomass and reduces the food resources of the otters.

		The visionaries of the Lincoln Highway saw their concept as unifying the continent, much as the transcontinental railroad had done 50 years before.
		The job of selling an idea, the politics of route locations, the romanticism and danger involved in striking out across no man's land to "see the country" and the techniques of keeping people motivated are all part of a well-woven story.

		Under the terms of the World Heritage Convention, each signatory nation is asked to submit to the World Heritage Committee a tentative list of properties, which it intends to nominate for inscription to the World Heritage List during the following five to ten years.
		This tentative list constitutes the "Inventory" (provided for in Article 11 of the Convention) of the cultural and natural properties situated within the territory of each Sate Party and which is considers suitable for inclusion in the World Heritage List.
		The purpose of these tentative lists is to enable the Committee to evaluate within the widest possible context the "outstanding universal value" of each property nominated to the List.
