Geography of Bermuda

Flora [ ] Of 165 plant species found in Bermuda today, 14 are Coccinellidae), but these were to no avail. Over the next decade, roughly 8 million juniper trees were lost to the scales. Motor cars were legalised in Bermuda in 1948, as a result of changes wrought by Casuarina and Bermudiana ( Fauna [ ] There were few species of land animal in Bermuda before the arrival of humans. The only vertebrate species was the rock lizard ( Eumeces longirostris). These were quite numerous, but have become rare due to predation by introduced species, and, especially, the introduction of glass bottles, in which they easily become trapped. Unlike the introduced Cardisoma quantami). Insects included the endemic, ground-burrowing solitary bee, which has not been observed for several decades and is believed extinct. The native Danaus plexippus), which has become threatened due to the loss of Sialia sialis), and the Vireo griseus bermudianus). Both of these were common, but have suffered from loss of habitat, from competition for nest sites with introduced Passer domesticus), and nest-predation by Sturnus vulgaris) and Pitangus sulphuratus) - this last species was deliberately introduced as late as 1957, with the intent that it would control the previously introduced anoles. Other native birds, including the Pterodroma cahow), or cahow. This is a pelagic seabird which had dug burrows for its nests. Humans are believed to have killed millions of them after settlement began in 1609, and feral pi...

The World

It has been suggested that there once existed a network of aligned sacred and ancient sites that composed what is commonly termed today 'The World-Grid'. The obvious propensity for straight lines in prehistory is demonstrated by the numerous 'ley-lines' and geometric alignments around the ancient world. It is also common to find that such alignments connect prehistoric sites together, which is one of the main arguments put forward to supports the idea of the existence of a prehistoric ' world grid'. • • • • What Exactly is the World-Grid: The basic essence of a world grid is the intellectual division of the surface of the world into a mathematically predictable model. There are several theories already in place to explain the existence of such a 'world-grid', should it ever be confirmed. The idea of the earth as a geometric shape goes back in history at least to the Pythagorean school of thinking in ancient Greece. Its famous adherent, Plato, wrote that �the earth, viewed from above, resembles a ball sewn from twelve pieces of skin'. ' Because of the advanced geodetic and geographic science of the Egyptians, Egypt became the geodetic centre of the known world. Other countries located their shrines and capital cities in terms of Egyptian 'zero' meridian, including such capitals such as Nimrod, Sardis, Susa, Persepolis, and apparently, even the ancient Chinese capital of An-Yang... As each of these geodetic centres was a political as well as geographical 'navel' of the world...

Geography: Part 1

PLACE & LOCATION The Bermuda Triangle is described as the triangular area of ocean landscape located in the North Atlantic Ocean. The total area has been estimated to be anywhere from 500,000 to 1.5 million square miles. Typically, it is defined by the area found within these 3 points on a map… Point #1: Miami, FL Latitude: 25 degrees 46′ 26″ N Longitude: 80 degrees 11′ 38″ W Point #2: Bermuda Latitude: 32 degrees 19′ 59″ N Longitude: 64 degrees 45′ 0″ W Point #3: San Juan, Puerto Rico Latitude: 18 degrees 28′ 5″ N Longitude: 66 degrees 6′ 22″ W PLATE TECTONICS The lithosphere is the upper layer of the Earth’s crust, and is broken up by constantly moving plates. The theory of plate tectonics describes 3 types of moving plate interactions: divergence (sea floor spreading), convergence (and subduction), and transformation (side-by-side motion). Divergence is the separating of Earth’s tectonic plates away from each other, as seen in sea floor spreading. As the plates separate, magma escapes from the inner asthenosphere layer to create deep rift valleys in the sea floor like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. These massive divergent plate movements cause much of the severe weather that the Bermuda Triangle is infamous for. The southwestern border of the Bermuda Triangle lies along the Puerto Rico Trench, which is a perfect example of the results of subduction tectonic plate movements. Subduction occurs when one plate is forced underneath another plate as they converge. Seen below, the Pu...

Bermuda

The archipelago is about 24 miles (40 km) long and averages less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in width. The main islands are clustered together in the shape of a fishhook and are connected by bridges. The largest island is Main Island, 14 miles (22.5 km) long and 1 mile wide. The Peak, at 259 feet (79 metres) on Main Island, is the highest point. The capital is Land The coral islands of Bermuda are composed of a layer 200 feet (60 metres) thick of marine limestone that caps an extinct and submerged The climate is mild, humid, and equable. August is the warmest month, with an average daytime high of 86 °F (30 °C), and February is the coldest month, with an average nighttime low of 57 °F (14 °C). Mean annual English is the official language, but some Portuguese is also spoken. Christianity predominates, and about one-sixth of the population is Anglican. Bermuda’s rate of population growth is low by world standards, comparable to that of the United States. Less than one-fifth of the population is younger than 15 years. Virtually all of Bermuda’s larger islands are inhabited, and Main Island has the largest concentration of people. Bermuda has one of the world’s highest population Economy Bermuda has a predominantly market economy based on tourism and international finance. The Agriculture is of negligible importance in the overall economy, and most food must be imported. Fresh vegetables, bananas, citrus fruits, milk, eggs, and honey are produced locally. There is a small Airlines ty...

Latitude and longitude

Latitude is a measurement on a globe or geocentric, astronomical, and geographic (or geodetic)—but there are only minor differences between them. In most common references, geocentric latitude is implied. Given in degrees, minutes, and seconds, geocentric latitude is the arc subtended by an angle at Earth’s centre and measured in a north-south plane poleward from the Equator. Thus, a point at 30°15′20″ N subtends an angle of 30°15′20″at the centre of the globe; similarly, the arc between the Equator and either geographic pole is 90° (one-fourth the circumference of Earth, or 1/ 4 × 360°), and thus the greatest possible latitudes are 90° N and 90° S. As aids to indicate different latitudinal positions on maps or globes, equidistant circles are plotted and drawn parallel to the Equator and each other; they are known as In contrast, geographic latitude, which is the kind used in mapping, is calculated using a slightly different process. Because Earth is not a perfect sphere—the planet’s curvature is flatter at the poles—geographic latitude is the arc subtended by the equatorial plane and the normal line that can be drawn at a given point on Earth’s surface. (The normal line is perpendicular to a
