       Mesa verde is the center of the prehistoric Anasazi cuture,it is located in the plateau lands near four Comers,where Colorado,Utah,New Mecixo,and Arrizona come togethehe climate is dry but tiny streams trickle at the bottom of deeply cut canyons,where seeps and springs provided water for the Anasazi to irrigate their crops.Rich red soil provided fertile ground for their crops of corn,beans,squash,tobacco,and cotton.The anasazi domesticated the wild turkey and hunted deer,rabbits,and muntain sheep.
        For a thousand years the Anasazi lived around Mesa Verde.Although the Anasazi are not relates to the Navajos no one knows what these Indians called themselves and so they are commonly reffered to by their Navajo name,Anasazi,which means "ancient ones"in the Navajo language.
        Around 550 AD,early Anasazi-then a nomadie people archacologists call the Basketmakers-began constructing permanent homes on mesa tops.In the next 300 years,the Anasazi made9 rapid technological advancements,including the refine9ment of not only basket-making but also pottery-making and weaving.This phase of development is reffered to as the Early pueblo Culture.
        By the Great Pueblo Period(1100-1300 aAD) the Anasazi population swellrd to more  than 5000 and the architecturally ambitious cliff dwellings came into being.The Anasazi moved from the mesa tops onto ledg9es99 on the steep canyon walls,creating two and threestory dwellings.They used sandstone blocks and mud mortar.There were no doors on the first floor and people used ladders to rich the first roof .All the villages had underground chambers called kivas.Men held tribal councils there and also used them for secret religious ceremonies and clan meetings.Winding paths ladders9 and steps cut into the stone led from the valleys below to the ledges on which the villages stood.The largest settlement contained 217 rooms.One might surmise that these dwellings were buildt for protection but the Anasazi had no known enemies and there is no sign of conflict.
        But a bigger mystery is why the Anasazi occupied these structures such a short time.By 1300.Mesa Verde was deserted it is conjectured that the Anasazi abandoned their settlements because of drought.overpopulation,crop  failure,or some combination of these.They probably moved south-years later .Their descendants still live in the Southwest.9

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:basalt and breccia.Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the E

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for existing train stations and bridges.In 1863,after spending time working as

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived from a place name.In the seventeenth century,French tailors began making trousers out of a specialized t
