Airports:  Albuquerque International.  It's called the "Sunport."  It has a seating area where you can see a beautiful view of the mountains.\n\nClimate & Geography:  Dry, dry, dry.  Very brown.  It's the desert, I mean, come on.  Most the the state is covered in desert, flat lands, and ridiculously beautiful mountains.  Caves.  White sands.  Tumbleweeds.  \n\nPeople participate in the same sports here as in other parts of the US.  Soccer, basketball, baseball, hockey, softball, volleyball, golf... you name it, we do it. \n\nBecause of the mountains and caves, there is opportunity for skiiing, snowboarding, and lots of sightseeing.\n\nAlbuquerque has a unique opportunity for hot air ballooning, because the mountains box the air into a valley.  It provides a perfect environment for balloonists-- thus, the reason for the Hot Air Balloon Festival.\n\nThe dry climate also provides a perfect environment for growing green and red chiles.  The state question is "red or green?"  I recommend looking up some recipes for green and red chile.

what is your question? \nIs it about the Cuban coyotes or Mexican immigration/emigration?\nWhat is your point?\nThere were native Americans in both Mexico & the USA before "Mexicans" or US Americans - so what?\nMexico couldn't establish a permanent settlement in Texas due to the harsh environment, distance from the Mexican government home base & various native American groups who killed any Mexican who tried. The first true permanent Texas settlements (non-native/Indian) were built by the Anglos from the then young USA.

well the rain shadow effect of the mountains is a biggie. air gets trapped on the eastern side of mountains, and pollution just hangs out. climate would be the fact that it is a moist climate... I am noot sure about that, but I would assume the wind patterns.... western easterlies? I would look up those terms in a high school geography book or online and go from there.

1) What do you mean by "a climate graph"? Rainfall, temperature, air pressure, evaporative demand, humidity, cloud cover, incident radiation and a million other variables all combine to make up climate. You can't have graph that shows them all.\n\n2) Have you tried simply putting [canungra climate] or [ Lamington National Park climate] into Google? That seems to provide a hell of a lot of information without expecting to be spoon fed.

If you want a nice place in the piney woods then you should head to Walden Texas. i go there every summer to play golf there. It is so much fun. They even have the hardest hole in Texas if you want a challenge. The hole playes into a lake with a dog leg right with water on both sides of the green. It is also home of lake conroe. There is fishing and fireworks there too if u can hang for the New Year. Plus you can rent boats. By the way did i say that it was very cheap. Around 500 for a family of 3. later

for southern california just going up to big bear or lake arrowhead for a day would be awesome :] they have tons of patches of fresh snow that you could build snowmen with or sled down some nice bunny hills, theres also an ice rink and a lake that has snow around it so you can throw rocks in the water or something :) have fun!

I would completely expect full vacation pay, there is no doubt. I wasn't sure about New Mexico, but I found the below URL (search for 'vacation' on the page) which suggested no vacation pay?\n\nSo I'm not really sure but I hope the link helps somehow

Please understand:\nMost people coming across from Mexico do not hate Mexico.\nThere are Mexicans and Mexican-Americans living in more states than CA, AZ & TX\nThere is more money being sent to Mexico via wire services (as in from family members from outside of Mexico)than is sent to any other country.\nMany Mexican immigrants would rather be in Mexico, there is much progress being made in Mexico with money earned in the USA. Houses are being built, newer better hospitals and businesses are emerging...\nMost of the families left behind in Mexico would praise the day their family members are able to return home and don't have to live and work so far away. Too many young are leaving and some get caught up in American life & don't come back. Most of the families left behind are not waiting to be sent for - they just want their family to come back home.\nMexico is a beautiful country, even though it's kinda rugged & the driving is about an equal to Italian driving, it's really beautiful. I was considering going there for awhile to chill after 9/11, however I have to be able to work. LOL - I am a US citizen.\n\nSoooooo, I think the bottom line is that there are tooo many reservations in these 3 states, especially in Arizona. Native Americans have been messed with too much already. Although all 3 states were once Mexico anyway, I think if there is going to be such a fuss about it, move everyone else out of the southern and border parts of all 3 states, give it all to the rule of the Native Americans & then THEY can decide who gets thru.\n\nHA! & have a GREAT day\n\nEven though my final answer was very creative & this ended up being a fun exercise, could you find better ways of being creative?

Question 1. \nExample 1-Navajo Sandstone Formation, Jurassic, covers large areas of the Colorado Plateau-including Zion National Park). The most characteristic feature of this formation is that it has thick deposits of well-sorted quartz sandstone with big cross beds(sedimentary structures)--indicating that the sand was deposited by wind as dunes, in a giant sand sea (think Sahara).\nhttp://www.agiweb.org/geotimes/nov03/NN_navajo.htm\nExample 2: \nRadiolarian chert of the Franciscan Complex, California. Jurassic and Cretaceous. Good outcrops in the Marin Headlands, north side of Golden Gate bridge, in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Thinly bedded maroon to pale green alternating layers of chert and siliceous mudstone.  The chert is chock-full of pin-head size radiolarian fossils--radiolarians are open-ocean marine plankton--but has no shallow marine fossils or calcareous plankton These sediments were deposited in deep water in the open ocean. Since they sit on basalt, it has been inferred that they were deposited on ocean crust. \nExample 3: \nFossiliferous Permian limestone, Texas, Capitan Reef in Guadalupe Mountains National Park\n"Over millions of years, calcareous sponges and algae combined with other lime-secreting marine organisms and vast quantities of lime that precipitated directly from the seawater to form the 400-mile-long, horseshoe-shaped Capitan Reef." --http://www2.nature.nps.gov/geology/parks/gumo/\nCompare to warm, shallow Great Barrier Reef of Australia.\nExample 4: \nCretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation in Dinosaur National Park.  A 2002 study of rocks types, textures, and sedimentary features lead a group of researchers to conclude that the paleoenvironment was generally arid to semi-arid terrestrial with occasional flashy, extreme rainfall events. \nhttp://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2002AM/finalprogram/abstract_46144.htm\nExample 5: \nMoraine deposits all over the Great Lakes area are evidence for continental glaciers during the Ice Ages.\n\nQuestion 2: \nNumerical Age dating\nhttp://www.gpc.edu/~pgore/geology/geo102/radio.htm\nhttp://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/geotime/radiometric.html\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiometric_dating \nQuestion 3:\nAs for "what kind of information is given by a rock?" --partly answered here already.  A rock may give information useful for determing one or more of  the following: Age, tectonic setting and history of formation, paleoenvironment, climate information, biological history of life info (if fossiliferous), paleolatitude, etc.

Some EDUCATIONAL Reading For Citizens\n\nhttp://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd185.htm\n\nI have friends who live in the Phoenix area that speak fluent Spanish. Over the weekend before the big marches on April 10, 2006, Spanish speaking radio was sending this message: "Hide what's in your heart today. We know in your heart your allegiance is to Mexico, but today use your head. Americans were upset about Mexican flags and our show of solidarity for reconquista. Now we must wear white shirts and wave the American flags being handed out. It will be difficult because we know in your heart your love is for Mexico, but hide it today."

I did some research... here are some websites that might help...\n\nThe 2nd one is a map quiz that will help you learn more about the physical features.

OK first of all, to begin with do not, i repeat, do not listen to any of this people! Because the truth is that they have no experience in anything that they have previously wrote, seriously. They are just people wasting their time on their computer answering questions on Yahoo! They do not know how the rest of the world is and they just judge.  Anyways, this is the wrong place to ask this kind of question. I know cause I have no experience, cause i've never been to Mexico. But seriously all of us are just bored, with nothing to do! What kind of person spends their time answering quetions on Yahoo if not a bored one. Or someone who has nothing to do? Don't take advise from bored people they are just looking for fun!

Every state has, or should have, a tourist website.  Those would be great places to start.\n\nFor example...  www.state.tx.us\n\nThey also have links for further reading.
