Death Valley

You can drive through Yosemite in about 2 to 3 hours. This would include driving from the south of the park from Glacier Point through the valley and up to Tioga Pass and exiting to the east.

Vegetation includes creosote bush, desert holly, and mesquite at the lower elevations up through shadscale, blackbrush, Joshua tree, pinyon-juniper, to sub-alpine limber pine and bristlecone pine woodlands.

for Alfred tennyson's poem, The Charge of the Light Brigade

Death Valley is282 feet below Sea Level at its lowest point. While Death Valley is the lowest elevation in the Hemisphere, it is far from the lowest elevation in the world, such title belongs to the Dead Sea area in Israel, which is about 1,349 feet below Sea Level. The Sea of Galilee in Israel is also about 700 feet below Sea Level. The entire Jordan River is below Sea Level. Where can I get a graphic description of what portion of Death Valley is below sea level?


The elevation of Death Valley is 282 feet below sea level at its lowest point.

what fossils reveal about things that lived in death valley

Death Valley is part of the Mojave Desert.

There probably aren't amphibians in Death Valley. Think about it. Amphibians spend part of there life cycle in the water. Is there much water in Death Valley?

California and Nevado, though it is mostly in California.

It lies northeast of Los Angeles about 4.5 hours by car and northwest of Las Vegas about 2 hours by car. It is at the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert and at the southern reaches of the Great Basin.

Devil's Hole Pupfish

- lives in isolated springs and ponds that are scarce throughout Death Valley.

- Only four species of the fish live in these ponds.

They are both below sea level. They both normally have extremely higher air pressure which means the air molecules are extremely dense and the air is really heavy. They both have higher temperatures then the surrounding land due to the sun hitting so many air molecules. They are both in a hot and dry climate. They also both have a high concentrated solution water source since they are like a bowl where everything sinks to it and that there is no other elevation lower than it. Death valley is usually a dried land but the only water source it has may be in badwater basin. The shores of the dead sea is much lower than the shores in the ocean. The water in the dead sea is so concentrated with solutes that it is much denser than a human body so that is why people can float on it. Water can usually never go out of the dead sea, the only way to get out is to be evaporated. If death valley and the dead sea were not so hot and dry they may be a bigger and deeper lake or lagoon.

Death Valley is found in southeastern California and a small portion of southwest Nevada. It is a part of the larger Mojave Desert.

Death Valley has been inhabited by the Timbisha tribe of Native Americans for the past millennium at least, and they refer to the valley as 'tumpisa.' Prospectors during the California Gold Rush began calling the area 'Death Valley' in 1849.

To survive for a short period of time in Death Valley, we must find water - but our bodies can only process fresh water. People perspire, allowing the evaporating water to pull the heat away from our bodies, but then we must replace the lost water. It would be helpful if you had a sharp object, such as a knife, to cut open a cactus. Because cacti absorb water to survive, they will be full of fresh water. You will need some kind of container to retain this water.

Our activity can also be timed to avoid the hottest part of the day. We may share some habits with desert wildlife to beat the heat and dryness, but our real success comes from our ability to change our surroundings to meet our needs. We could try not to move around much or do lots of physical activity during the day, as we would very rapidly overheat and dehydrate. If a thin, white sheet was available, it would be a good idea to dig under the sand (where it is cooler and more humid), and lie there, with the sheet covering you. The light colour will reflect the sun and protect you from it.

It is important to remember that it becomes very cold during the night, and therefore it might be wise to act nocturnal to stay warm during the nights. It would not be a good idea to stay in self-made burrows or under the sand at this time, but rather stay on the hotter sand.

Of course, however good you are adapting to and surviving hot, arid conditions, we will never be able to survive as well as its wildlife residents. We would last, at most, a few days, and therefore without rescue it would be impossible to live there for longer than a month.

The driving distance between Las Vegas, NV and Death Valley, CA is approximately 130 miles. The driving time would be approximately 3 hours if you were to travel non-stop in good driving conditions. (The driving time does not take into consideration conditions which may extend trip time such as weather, road work, border crossings and rush hour traffic in urban areas.)

Yes

No it dose not

Death Valley is about 450 million years old. The rock was formed when the earth formed. Over time, the tectonic plates moved to form the deep trench it is today.Your Welcome

It is lower than sea level which causes it to have more pressure, that combined with the fact that it is in a valley between two moutians create a hot spot.

Death Valley National Park is 5,216 square miles.

The climate of Death Valley is that of a hot, dry desert.

yes some people do, or used to i don't think so

As Death Valley is in America, the main language would be American English. Though Spanish is also a main language in certain areas.
