Geography: Angel Falls, the largest waterfall in the world
Â
Original post by @jennimorillo
Hello friends of steemit, today I'm going to talk a little about the Angel Falls.

The Royal Academy summarizes the meaning of geophysics as part of the geology that is responsible for the study ...
Ecology: You Don't Know What You've Got 'til It's Gone - The Carolina Parakeet

This lovely bird colonized North America about 5.5 million years ago. Rough estimates have been made about their historical population density and it is estimated anywhere from 20,000 to 2.5 million birds could have lived in 2 square kilometers. The densest population was in Florida with numbers in the hundreds of thousands. It was rarely spotted outside...
