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.

In 1881 borax was discovered in Death Valley. It was used as a laundry additive and for a whole host of other uses by druggists and for keeping ants and roaches out of the home as well as helping welders get a 'clean' weld as a flux. From 1882 to 1925 the company came to be known as Pacific Coast Borax mined in Death Valley. When they discovered richer deposits at the place now called Boron in the Mojave desert they moved their mining operations. But in Death Valley they turned to tourism. They converted miner's bunks to tourist quarters and began to promote tourism. At the time they had a railroad running out to the Death Valley country so they built a luxury hotel called the Furnace Creek Inn (1927). They approached the US Department of Interior to make the Valley a National Park but the head of the Park Service, Stephen Mather, had formerly worked for Pacific Coast Borax and thought it would be a conflict of interest. But in 1933 Horace Albright, the next director of the National Park Service and a California native, convinced President Herbert Hoover to declare it a National Monument. Then in 1994 President Bill Clinton signed into law the California Desert Protection Act making Death Valley a National Park.

Death Valley is a valley locate in the Mojave Desert, a very dry area. Death Valley has extremely hot summers with an average high temperature of 46,9 °C in July, the hottest month of the year. That extreme heat is due to the very low elevation, below the sea level which makes more column of air and more air pressure. A higher air pressure makes the air sinking more, and therefore more heating and drying by an adiabatic process. Also, Death Valley is situated between 2 mountains ranges, which adds a rain shadow effect.

Like water anywhere (pending altitude, which isn't a factor here) it boils at 100oC/182oF/373oK.

Except altitude is a factor, since the boiling point of water varies by altitude and the barometric outside air pressure (which essentially adjusts the pressure altitude up or down). Although Death Valley is only 282 feet below sea level, that's enough to push up the boiling point by almost half a degree Fahrenheit, assuming the same barometric pressure.

Both are important, because people often memorise their "local" boiling point, so that they can make allowances in cooking, without realising that the "corrected" boiling point can also vary, depending on local weather. Similarly, many sources of local barometric pressures are given "adjusted to sea level," so both have to be taken into account.

Obviously they find the positions of the rocks disturbing the cosmic constant. The continual movement of the rocks keeps the balance of worm hole open enabling aliens to visit us. It all started with electron and neutrino alignment but that's a long story. P.S. They like to F@#K with Earthlings. God Bless. T L

There are many kinds of animals that live in death valley. There are amphibians, mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and butterflies.

Some examples of animals are bats, gophers, mice, porcupines, mountain lions, fox, and horses. There are pelicans, vulters, and hawks. A website to find a list of the animals is <http://www.nps.gov/deva/naturescience/animals.htm>.

Death Valley National Park has a little more than 3 million acres of protected wilderness and therefore, hundreds of different kinds of animals can live there.

It can easily reach 120 degrees at the valley floor (+/- 200 ft below sea level), the record is over 130. It may be 80-90 in the high mountainroads at the same time.

That being said, Death Valley NP ranges in in elevation from +7000 ft to -200 ft, and altitude will significantly affect temperature. If you want to see the sights without the 120 F heat, visit in Feb-Mar timeframe when it's comfortable (50-60 F) at the valley floor. You can also see snow up in the mountain roads at this time. If lucky, you can see the wildflowers blooming.

by the wind carrying dead bodies into a pit forming a valley, hints the name "death valley"

Death Valley is a block of land that has been dropped between parallel faults. It dropped so far that Death Valley is the lowest point in the United States. So, death valley was formed when it was dropped between parallel faults.
