Salt Lake Valley

Examples of Salt Lake Valley in the following topics:

• The Mormon Exodus

  • The Mormon exodus of 1846-47 was a large migration of members of the Church of Latter Day Saints from their home in Illinois to Salt Lake Valley, Utah.
  • The Mormon Trail extends from Nauvoo, Illinois, which was the principal settlement of the Latter-Day Saints from 1839 to 1846, to Salt Lake City, Utah, which was settled by Brigham Young and his followers beginning in 1847.
  • Sidney Rigdon was the First Counselor in the LDS First Presidency, and as its spokesman, Rigdon preached several controversial sermons in Missouri, including the Salt Sermon and the July 4th Oration.
  • In the spring of 1847, Young led the vanguard company to the Salt Lake Valley, which was then outside the boundaries of the United States and later became Utah.

• The Mormons

  • Young led his followers along the Mormon Trail, a 1,300-mile route that Mormon pioneers traveled from Nauvoo, Illinois, to Salt Lake City, Utah.
  • In the spring of 1847, Young led the vanguard company to the Salt Lake Valley, which was then outside the boundaries of the United States and which later became Utah.

• Extremely Halophilic Archaea

  • One example is Chromohalobacter beijerinckii, found in salted beans preserved in brine and in salted herring.
  • Halophiles thrive in places such as the Great Salt Lake , Owens Lake in California, evaporation ponds, and the Dead Sea - places that provide an inhospitable environment to most lifeforms.
  • These are the primary inhabitants of salt lakes, inland seas, and evaporating ponds of seawater.
  • Halophiles are adapted to conditions of extreme salt concentration, such as the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
  • Salt builds up along the Dead Sea.

• Oregon and the Overland Trails

  • The Oregon Trail was a 2,000-mile, historic east-west wagon route and emigrant trail that connected the Missouri River to valleys in Oregon and locations in between.
  • Wagon trails were cleared increasingly further west, eventually reaching the Willamette Valley in Oregon.
  • There were various offshoots in Missouri, Iowa, and the Nebraska Territory; the routes converged along the lower Platte River Valley near Fort Kearny, Nebraska Territory and led to rich farmlands west of the Rocky Mountains.
  • The Overland Stage Company owned by Ben Holladay famously used the Overland Trail to run mail and passengers to Salt Lake City, Utah, via stagecoaches in the early 1860s.

• Freshwater Biomes

  • They include lakes and ponds, rivers and streams, and wetlands.
  • Light can penetrate within the photic zone of the lake or pond.
  • They differ from lakes in that they are shallow bodies of water.
  • Types of wetlands include marshes, swamps, bogs, mudflats, and salt marshes .
  • The uncontrolled growth of algae in this lake has resulted in an algal bloom.

• Freshwater Environments

  • Fresh water is naturally occurring water on Earth which has low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids.
  • Fresh water is naturally occurring water on the Earth's surface in ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers and streams, and underground as groundwater in aquifers and underground streams .
  • Fresh water is generally characterized by having low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids.
  • The term "sweet water" has been used to describe fresh water in contrast to salt water.
  • Many sea birds have special glands at the base of the bill through which excess salt is excreted.

• Sao

  • They lived by the Chari River, south of Lake Chad, in parts of modern-day Cameroon and Chad.
  • One theory of the origin of the Sao states that they descended from the Hyksos, who conquered Ancient Egypt and later moved south, from the Nile valley to mid-Africa, after fleeing invaders.
  • Traditional tales say that the Sao west of Lake Chad fell to "Yemenites" from the east.
  • Although some scholars estimate that the Sao civilization south of Lake Chad lasted until the 14th or 15th century CE, the majority opinion is that it ceased to exist as a separate culture sometime in the 16th century CE.
  • Other ethnic groups in the Lake Chad basin area, including the Buduma, Gamergu, Kanembu, Kotoko and Musgum, also claim to be descended from the Sao.

• What is an Aquatic Biome?

  • Freshwater has a low salt concentration, usually less than 1 percent, and occurs in several types of regions: ponds and lakes, streams and rivers, and wetlands.
  • Ponds and lakes range in size, and small ponds may be seasonal.
  • They continue downstream to their mouths, which may be another stream, river, lake or ocean.
  • Some wetlands, such as salt marshes, are not freshwater regions.
  • Marine bodies are salty, having approximately 35 grams of dissolved salt per liter of water (3.5 percent).

• Homework

  • Over Thanksgiving weekend, it surveys 6 flights from Boston to Salt Lake City to determine the number of babies on the flights.

• Earthworks

  • Smithson arranged rock, earth, salt crystals, mud and algae to form a 1500 ft counterclockwise coil protruding into Great Salt Lake in northern Utah, U.S. .
  • The sculpture is sometimes visible and sometimes submerged, depending upon the water level of the Great Salt Lake.
