...Shasta County, California Nestled in the middle of Northern California is Shasta County. Population approximately 176,980 as of 2013 and is only one and half hours from the Oregon border. The county is beautiful with forests and mountains, home to Mt. Shasta covered with snow year round and Lake Shasta a very popular water skiing and houseboat resort. Temperatures in the county fluctuate depending on the season from the 100's to freezing with snow. Outdoor activities are the principal recreation, something for everyone. Look to the east and you can see Lassen Peak, an active volcano. There are many small communities within Shasta County that are considered rural. Sounds pristine and inviting. What lies beneath this beautiful blanket of beauty is a county economically crippled. There are many contributing factors to the economic decline in Shasta County that has come full circle evolving from the 1960's. Let's look at a simplified synopsis of the multiplier effects that have affected the economy. Physical isolation: Shasta County’s physical location is more isolated than most other areas or counties of California. Unemployment: the area is economically depressed and has not recovered since the recession of 2008-2009. The unemployment rate remains higher in Shasta County for 2012 than the California's average. Health facilities: There are two large hospitals located in Redding of Shasta County with only two small facilities in the outlying areas with no mental...

...Geography 101, Section#3596/ Spring 2012 3 May 2012 Mount Shasta Volcano/ Virtual Field Trip Assignment Mount Shasta Volcano Virtual Field Trip For my field trip I really wanted the opportunity to travel somewhere I usually wouldn’t have the time or opportunity to travel to, so I decided to take a virtual field trip to Mount Shasta. This is also a place my mom tells me about from time to time because she took me here when I was very little, and after enough descriptions of it I wanted to see it for myself when I can actually remember it! Mount Shasta is a volcano located in the Cascade Range in northern California, and is one of the highest and largest of all volcanoes in the Cascade Mountain Range. This volcano is composed of overlapping cones centered at four or more main vents, and has been constructed over the course of the past 100,000 years – Terming this particular volcano a compound stratovolcano. Volcanoes such as Mount Shasta are usually cone shaped (called volcanic cones), and are composed of pyroclastics and viscous andesitic lava (a blockier type of lava). Many volcanoes also bring with them the presence of glaciers, there are seven named glacier on Mount Shasta. The most popular are The “Whitney” Glacier is the longest and the “Hotlum” is the most voluminous glacier in the state of California. There are many buried glacial scars on the mountain which were originally created in recent glacial periods (the “ice ages”...

...These are my notes for your comparison, these notes may or may not be incorrect. 1. The Richat dome is an anticline fold, or upwarped dome, circular feature that is the result of tensional stress. 2.The Richat dome is 38 KM wide. 3. 4. The Persian Gulf and Arabian Gulf are both proof of plate convergence. 5. Tensional stress is responsible for these dip-slip, or normal and reverse type faults. 6.The Zagros mountains are the result of compressional stress while the Basin and Range Province are the result of tensional stress. Compressive stress is stress applied on a rock from opposite sides and tensional stress is a force that stretches, or elongates, the rock. 7. The San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault. 8. Dip-slip and strike-slip are the two types of faults found in the Gulf of California. The plates on both sides are moving horizontally and vertically. 9. Tensional stress forms a down-dropped fault block. Dip-slip fauts are created by this type of stress. 10. A) It is a divergent plate boundary. B) Tensional stress has formed this boundary. C) It is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Exploration 2 1. The Himalaya Mountains separate India and Tibet. Oceanic and continental crusts. 2. The Arabian plate is to the west of the Indian plate and they are separated by a transform plate boundary. 3.

...origins. This story also shows how the Native Americans found explanations for the incredible wonders of nature that surrounded them. The story first explains how animals were created by the sky chief when he “broke the small end of his giant stick and threw the pieces in the rivers, the longer pieces became beaver and otter; the smaller pieces became fish” (24). The sky chief also created land and sky animals through a similar process in the story. This also reminded me of the Creation story in Genesis when God created the animals of the sea and all the birds in the sky. These origin stories also led to different traditions within the Native American culture. This is shown in the story when it is explained that “the Indians around Mt. Shasta don’t kill a grizzly bear. Whenever a grizzly killed an Indian, his body was burned and stones were placed on the spot over time until there was a great pile of stones marked his death place” (26). These examples in the story taught me more about the culture of the Native American tribe, Modoc, and how close they were with nature and the wonders of their...

...the Cascade Range is one of the largest volcanoes in terms of its area in the lower 48 United States and is also the largest volcano in Oregon, covering an area of about 1600 sq. km. The low angle basaltic to basaltic-andesite composite shield is dotted with over 400 cinder cones; however the volcano also has a history of producing a number of major silicic eruptions, which are associated with the formation of the 6 by 8 km wide summit caldera that contains two caldera lakes. Despite the similarities, Newberry in fact is not a cascade volcano. Instead it belongs to a discontinuous belt of composite volcanoes lying parallel to the Cascades at a distance of 56-80 km. this discontinuous belt extends up to Mt. Simcoe east of Mt. Adams and south to Medicine Lake Volcano east of Mt. Shasta (Williams, 1935). Figure 2: aerial view of Newberry Caldera. Photo by Lee Siebert, 1998 (Smithsonian Institution). The earliest eruptive products (<0.73 million years ago) (Ma) consist of a sequence of ash-flow and airfall tuffs. Caldera collapse is thought to be associated with major ash flows emplaced about 0.5 and 0.3-0.5 Ma. These eruptions were preceded by the emplacement of numerous mafic cones and vents and silicic lava domes and flows, many of which are aligned NNW and NNE parallel to regional fault zones The caldera of Newberry Volcano has also been the site of numerous Holocene eruptions of mostly rhyolitic composition, that occurred as recently as 1,300 years ago (Jensen, 1995)...

...For the exclusive use of R. PONCE 9-702-442 REV: JANUARY 27, 2004 DAVID B. YOFFIE Cola Wars Continue: Coke and Pepsi in the Twenty-First Century For over a century, Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola vied for “throat share” of the world’s beverage market. The most intense battles of the cola wars were fought over the $60-billion industry in the United States, where the average American consumed 53 gallons of carbonated soft drinks (CSD) per year. In a “carefully waged competitive struggle,” from 1975 to 1995 both Coke and Pepsi achieved average annual growth of around 10% as both U.S. and worldwide CSD consumption consistently rose. According to Roger Enrico, former CEO of Pepsi-Cola: The warfare must be perceived as a continuing battle without blood. Without Coke, Pepsi would have a tough time being an original and lively competitor. The more successful they are, the sharper we have to be. If the Coca-Cola company didn’t exist, we’d pray for someone to invent them. And on the other side of the fence, I’m sure the folks at Coke would say that nothing contributes as much to the present-day success of the Coca-Cola company than . . . Pepsi.1 This cozy relationship was threatened in the late 1990s, however, when U.S. CSD consumption dropped for two consecutive years and worldwide shipments slowed for both Coke and Pepsi. In response, both firms began to modify their bottling, pricing, and brand strategies. They also looked to emerging international markets to fuel...
