Immigration/Migration of People & Migration of Animals
Immigration/Migration of People
Immigration is the process of moving to a new country, with plans to live there permanently. People who move to a new country are called immigrants. Many immigrants come to a new country in search of a better life. They want good-paying jobs and opportunities for their children. Others have escaped wars, harsh governments, or natural disasters in their homeland. Immigration is just one type of human migration, or movement. Migrant workers move to other places to work, but they later return home. Refugees are people who were forced to leave their country by the government or because of dangerous conditions. Migration of Animals Many mammals, birds, fishes, insects, and other animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year. This movement is called migration. Migration is part of the life cycle of these animals. Animals migrate for different reasons. Many migrate to breed or to find food. Some animals migrate to places where they can hibernate, or rest for the winter. Others migrate because the weather is too hot, too cold, too wet, or too dry.

Florida Studies Weekly: Major Physical
Features of the United States Article
Did you know the United States spans (spreads across) the width of the whole North American continent? It also includes the islands of Hawaii and the frozen land west of Canada called Alaska. We share the continent of North America with two other countries, Canada and Mexico. We also share large bodies of water and a few physical features with the islands of the Caribbean. This week we’ll learn about some of the physical features on the North American continent and in the Caribbean. We’ll also talk about natural and man-made landmarks in the United States. Let’s start with physical features. What are they? Physical features are the natural parts of the Earth’s surface. Some examples are lakes, rivers, oceans, mountains, deserts and plains. What are natural landmarks? Natural landmarks are well-known, or famous, geographic features that mark a certain place. Man-made landmarks are also well- known geographic places that identify a location. However, humans created these landmarks and they didn’t form naturally. Look at the map of North America. It’s such a big place, that most maps can’t show Hawaii where it is actually located. Hawaii is really much further out in the Pacific Ocean. Look at a globe to see where it is. Read the information below and use the symbols on the map to learn more about these major physical features. Check off each area you find as you complete this part of your journey. Physical Features Alaska Mountain Range: The mountains of Alaska extend from the Alaska Peninsula to the border of the Yukon Territory in Canada. Sierra Madre Mountains: The Sierra Madre Mountains include two large mountain ranges and one smaller one. They are located in Mexico. Rocky Mountains: The Rocky Mountains are about 3,000 miles long. They stretch from New Mexico up through the western United States and into British Columbia, Canada. Appalachian Mountains: The Appalachians are about 1,500 miles long. They spread from central Alabama up through the New England states. They also stretch into the Canadian provinces (areas kind of like states) of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Quebec. Great Plains: The Great Plains of North America cover the land from just east of the Rockies to the western edges of the Appalachians. The land is mostly flat with large, treeless areas and shallow river valleys. Mississippi River: The Mississippi is a major river of North America and the United States (over 2,300 miles long). It flows from northwestern Minnesota south to the Gulf of Mexico, just below the city of New Orleans. Rio Grande: The Rio Grande is also one of the longest rivers in North America (over 1,800 miles long). It begins in southern Colorado and flows south. It flows through New Mexico and forms a natural border between Texas and Mexico. In Mexico, people call it the Rio Bravo del Norte. The Great Lakes: The Great Lakes include Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie and Lake Superior. (Notice that the first letters of the names spells HOMES!) They are in the northeastern part of our country and form a border between the United States and Canada. Kilauea Volcano: The Kilauea Volcano is an active volcano on the island of Hawaii. Scientists are recording eruptions of the Kilauea Volcano to this day. OK, now you’ve explored a few major physical features like mountains, rivers and plains. Let’s take a look at a few natural and man-made landmarks. Remember, landmarks are well-known, or famous, geographic features that mark a location.
Natural resources are important to everyone and every living thing on Earth. A natural resource is any material from the Earth that people can use. Some examples are trees, coal, oil, natural gas, plants and gold. All the living things in all the ecosystems on Earth depend on the natural resources around them. People use natural resources to feed themselves, make clothing, heat and cool their homes and for transportation. People depend on natural resources to make electricity. Businesses use them to make things people want and need. Not all natural resources are the same. Some are renewable and some are nonrenewable. Renewable resources can be replaced over and over. For example, you can plant a tree each time you cut one down, so trees are a renewable resource. We use some natural resources for energy, like the wind or the sun’s light and heat. These natural resources do not need to be replaced. Nonrenewable resources cannot be replaced. Once the resource is used up, it’s gone forever! For example, if all of the coal is mined out of the Earth and used up, it is gone forever. We dig for coal and drill oil to power machines and vehicles. We cut down trees to build homes. We raise plants and animals to eat. We use sunlight for warmth and water to drink. But will all those resources last forever? The Earth could run out of some resources if we don’t use them wisely. Scientists are working hard to find ways to use natural resources that will help them last longer. Conserving natural resources is important. It will help us to enjoy the world we live in, and leave a lot of world for our children and grandchildren to enjoy.
