Alaska lies in the northwestern corner of North America, still mostly a rugged wilderness. Alaska covers 656,425 square miles, making it the largest of the 50 states and more than twice the size of Texas, the second largest state. Juneau(朱诺)is the capital of Alaska. Most of Alaska is ...
Here we show how major rivers can efficiently connect to the deep-sea, by analysing the longest runout sediment flows (of any type) yet measured in action on Earth. These seafloor turbidity currents originated from the Congo River-mouth, with one flow travelling >1,130 km whilst acceleratin...
These types of soils are most commonly found in the United States primarily in Texas, where they are used for the proper growth of cotton. The younger soil which is more developed as compared to the entisols, also known as “inceptisols.” This soil type is abundant in alluvium stream ...
The two tallest buildings pictured here are the Esperson Building and the Texas Company Building (aka the Texaco Building), and the building under construction is the Texas State Hotel, which would become one of the finest hotels downtown. By 1930, Houston would become Texas' most populous cit...
Increasing industrialization in the 19th century spurred that growth, with the development of electric power and steam engines resulting in factories no longer needing to be located near rivers. Instead, they could be in urban areas, drawing even more people into those cities with the promise of ...

Sediment eroded from continents during ice ages can be rapidly (<104 years) transferred via rivers to the deep-sea and preserved in submarine fans, becoming a viable record of landscape evolution. We applied chemical weathering proxies and zircon geo-

This mechanism is largely supported by autogenic river processes, but allogenic forces such as tectonic deformation or earthquakes may contribute to the avulsion of rivers in seismically active basins8,9. In regions such as the Himalaya, ongoing collision, uplift, and erosion have produced thick ...
