Description Of Torto Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico doesn’t have lengthy rivers, and huge lakes because of its somewhat short width and mountain range that runs from east to west. The longest river flows to the northern coast, and is named as Grande de Arecibo. There are other rivers such as La Plata, Cibuco, Loíza, and, Bayamón all flowing to the north, and the Grande de Añasco, flowing to the west. There are other perennial rivers that flow north and west. Most of the rivers that run to south remain arid majority of the year however they can even cause flooding with heavy rainfall.

    The Penascola Gulf Islands in Florida are pretty much your average definition of paradise. The area is known for the most beautiful white sand beaches and turquoise blue waters. The beach stretches for miles along the Gulf of Mexico, full of people constructing hammocks to lie in the warm sun, standing for hours fishing, and many many others jumping around the waves and surfing or swimming in the calm waters.

With many resorts, restaurants, and coastal areas, these islands have all you need.…

The chupacabra’s name is derived from spanish and most literally means “goat sucker”. Chupar meaning “to suck” and cabra meaning “goat”.

    Family is the foundation of the Puerto Rican social structure. ”Familismo” is a Puerto Rican word meaning close family connections, stressing the well-being of the family, as opposed to cultures which place a greater emphasis on friends and same-age peers as an integral part of the social structure. Puerto Rican family complex is extensive; it is based on the Spanish system of compadrazgo in which many members—not just parents and siblings—are considered to be part of the immediate family. Thus los abuelos(grandparents) and los tios y las tias (uncles and aunts) and even los primos y las primas (cousins) are considered extremely close relatives in the Puerto Rican family structure. Close friends often refer to each other as compadre y…

    Terra Preta is a very dark soil that is found in the Amazon forests. This soil is an amazing discovery to scientists like Johannes Lehmann because the soil is very unique compared to other soils found in the same area. According to his research, these soils could have been in the Amazon anywhere from 500 to 8000 years which is a really big gap. Scientist believe that the soil was fertilized by human remains which were left to sit in the forest overtime. What is interesting about Terra Preta is that scientist found information recently and came up with the conclusion that this soil was made from trees, pots, and foods that the Amazonian people left in the forests which eventually burned and turned into biochar. According to International Biochar…

    The Hawaiian Islands formed through volcanic and tectonic activity. Tectonic plates shifted down into the Earth and went to magma level. This would allow for a volcano to pop through to the surface and create islands around themselves. The islands may have started as just one island, but over time more formed more (8). There are currently six Hawaiian Islands, Hawai’i, Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, and Kauai (1). The Hawaiian Islands lie in the Central Pacific Ocean, 2,390 miles from California and 3,850 miles from Japan (7). Knowing the geography of the islands sets the stage for settlement of them.

    Puerto Rico is a beautiful place. The sun is always shining and the temperature does not go below eighty degrees Fahrenheit. If you run out of something like sugar or salt, you can always knock on your neighbor’s door and they will be happy to help you out. They treat everyone as if they were family. There is always something to do. Either you can go to the beach, go to the waterfalls, take a stroll through the jungles, or even sit under a palm tree and drink out of a coconut shell. Although there are many pros, there are also many cons. The crime rate in the island of Puerto Rico is high. Many fights involve objects, not just fists. It can be a brick, a stick, or even a broom. Fights are taken very serious. Also, the economy is not in great shape. Despite all of the cons, people seem to focus on the pros. The beaches are breath taking. The water is crystal-clear blue. The people are beautiful and very exotic.…

    Approximately three hours from crowded, sweltering Manila is an island getaway where the seafood is fresh, the sand is dazzling white, the water is a beautiful clear turquoise, and good vibes abound. It is a getaway for adventurers of the 'strike anywhere' variety, who think nothing of hopping on a bus on a whim, armed with nothing but a swimsuit and a pair of flip-flops. It is a refuge for the low-key urbanite escaping the frenzied crowd at Manila's latest 'in' spots (the same crowd that currently overpopulates Boracay). It is my paradise on the cheap--Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro.…
