Alaska was purchased for $7.2 million in 1867 ($134 million in 2005 dollars) from Russia.  It has been a wonderful purchase since it has provided so much oil for the USA.  It was not well received when it was purchased.  But in hindsight, it was a great purchase.

Alaska is a state in the United States of America.  The president is George W. Bush, just like the other 49 states.  As of 2000, there were approximately 627,000 residents.  It is projected to be closer to 700,000 by the year 2010.

There are many books on this topic. I usually refer people to check out books about the Inuits of Alaska. Your library can help you with this. Good luck

It's within the Arctic Circle in which that happens. Part of Alaska is included in that area, but not all of it.

The thickness varies greatly around the state. In the interior around Fairbanks, it is anywhere from a dozen or so feet to around 500 feet, with around 150 feet being typical. The thickest I know of in Alaska is on the Arctic Plain, somewhere over 2000 feet thick.\n\nSo far there has not been a great loss of thickness, but much of the permafrost has gotten softer in the southern part of it's range, which creates problems with the ecosystem, stability of the land, drainage and groundwater issues, and the carbon cycle.

There is a plan to tap the oil reserves in Alaska.  But I would ask you this... Do we really need more oil?  Why not find alternative energy sources?  What happens when all the oil runs out? (And it will).  Why do we have to ruin the pristine environment in Alaska with oil drilling and creating a pipeline that will ruin the habitat of many animals?\n\nBush is unfortunately a slave to big business and is not interested in "green" energy and moving the country away from oil, which is sad because we are ruining the earth's environment.  Whatever the Bush Administration says there is global warming and CO2 emissions, like those from cars, are in fact heating up the planet.  Hope you all have working bicycles because in the future with no oil that's what we will all be riding!

Dinosaurs first appearing approximately 230 million years ago and at the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago. That is alot of weather. For the most part..., it was warmer but depending on where they inhabited..., the era and the climate..., it covers such a wide range...\n\nHumans could have lived but things would have been rough..., not too many mammals around at the time..., just mostly what looked like rats...
