For more information, please refer to discussion on this page and/or the listing at Wikipedia:Requested pictures. An environment is a complex of external factors. It acts on a system and determines its course and form of existence. An environment may be thought of as a superset, of which the given system is a subset. An environment may have one or more parameters, physical or otherwise. The environment of a given system must interact with t ...

Early on, it was believed that Apatosaurus was too massive to support its own weight on dry land, so it was theorized that the sauropod must have lived partly submerged in water, perhaps in a swamp. Recent findings do not support this. In fact, like its relative Diplodocus, Apatosaurus was a grazing animal with a very long neck, and a long tail that served as a counterweight. Fossilized footprints indicate that it probably lived in herds. To aid in processing food, Apatosaurus may have swallowed gizzard stones (gastroliths) the same way many birds do today — its jaws alone were ...

Both plant impressions in the travertine and pollen remains allow the reconstruction of the local environment. There are two deposition phases. Both are dominated by woodland species. The first phase (limnic chalk mixed with travertine sand) is dominated by hazel (Corylus), ash (Fraxinus) and oak (Quercus). The second phase (pure limnic chalk) is dominated by hornbeam (Carpinus), ...

About 12,500 years ago, the Sahel was a part of the Saharan desert, and was covered in sand dunes which have shaped the landscape that we see today. The Sahel receives 150-500 mm (6-20 in) of rainfall a year, primarily in the monsoon season. The rainfall is characterized by year to year and decadal variability. The two largest determinants of land productivity in the Sahel are water and micro-nutrients, mostly nitrogen and phosphate. There is a strong correlation between rainfall in the Sahel and intens ...

Once an extensive prairie composed of mid-length perennial grasses such as bluebunch wheatgrass ( Agropyron spicatum ) and Idaho fescue ( Festuca idahoensis ), today virtually all of the Palouse Prairie is planted in agricultural crops. The native prairie is one of the most endangered ecosystems in the United States (Noss et al. 1995), as only a little over one percent of the original prairie still exists. People have taken their toll on wildlife. Once abundant birds and small mammals are few. The intensive roadbed-to-roadbed farming ...

Ankylosaurus existed between 65 and 70 million years ago, in the Maastrichian age of the Late Cretaceous period, and was one of the last dinosaurs before they were wiped out by the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event. They were plant-eaters (herbivores). Being stiff and low-slung, they probably grazed on low-lying vegetation. Even giant carnivores of the Maastrichian, like Tyrannosaurus, Deinonychus, and Tarbosaurus, probably could not break through ankylosaur armor. It is believed they would lie fl ...

Sea-levels were high during the Cretaceous, causing marine ingressions in many parts of the world, and a great inland seaway in North America. Mosasaur fossils have been found in the Netherlands and Sweden, in Africa, in Australia, New Zealand, and Vega Island off the coast of Antarctica. In Canada and the United States, complete or partial specimens have been found in Alabama and Georgia and in almost all the states covered by the seaway: Texas, southwest Arkansas, New Mexico, Ka ...

Euoplocephalus lived between 65 and 70 million years ago, in the Campanian and Maastrichian ages of the late Cretaceous period. Euoplocephalus was plant eating (herbivorous) dinosaur. It had a complicated nose design (nasal structure), which indicates that it probably had a good sense of smell, and flexible legs which it might have used for digging. The stiff, low-slung dinosaur had poor teeth (weak dentition), so it must have grazed on fl ...

100 million years ago, in the late Cretaceous, the Sahara was still a great tropical plain, dotted with lakes and crossed by rivers and streams that were lined with vegetation. Based on the number of fossils discovered, the aquatic Sarcosuchus was probably plentiful in these warm, shallow, freshwater habitats. Unlike modern crocodiles, which are very similar in size and shape to one another, and tend to live in different areas; the SuperCroc was just one of many crocodiles, of different sizes and shapes, all living in the same ...

The Mesoamerican region, the landmass that extends from Southern Mexico to Panama, known for its diversity of species, is often called a "biodiversity hotspot". Similar to other countries in the region, Honduras contains diverse biological resources as well as indigenous cultures. For instance, it is believed that approximately 6,000-8,000 species of vascular plants are distributed across the country. The number of reptiles and amphibians species recorded so far is around 245; birds can be between 650-700 speci ...

The industrialisation of the valley of the Ogmore, especially in the 19th century, severely damaged much of the natural environment. Coal mining in particular severely affected the main river and the Rivers Garw and Llynfi. On the Llynfi coal mining persisted longer than elsewhere with St John's colliery still open into the 1990s. The Llynfi also had iron works and brick works at Tondu contributing to the levels of pollution. In the second half of the 20th century, whilst the impact of coal diminished, new industries such as cosmetics and to ...

The lowlands of the Afar Depression are dominated by heat and drought. There is no rain for the most of the year; yearly rainfall averages range from 100 to 200 milimeters (4 to 7 in), with less rain falling closer to the coast. The Awash River, flowing north-eastward through southern Afar, provides a narrow green belt and enables life for the Afars, the nomadic people living in the Danakil desert, and for all other flora and fauna in the area. About 128 kilometers (79 miles) from the Red Sea, the Awash ends in a chain of ...
