Yellowstone Park.
The Yellowstone National Park
Many of the wonders of Rocky mountains can be observed, the Yellowstone National Park .
this park is located in the western corner of Wyoming.
Yellow Stone was established in 1872, is the oldest national park in the world and one of the largest of USA.
Yellowstone is also the largest wildlife preserve is a place where wild animals are proctected by law.
Yellowstone National Park is a national park located in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872.[4][5] Yellowstone was the first National Park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world.[6] The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of its most popular features.[7] It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.
The park is at the headwaters of the Yellowstone River, from which it takes its historical name. Near the end of the 18th century, French trappers named the river Roche Jaune, which is probably a translation of the Hidatsa name Mi tsi a-da-zi ("Rock Yellow River").[13] Later, American trappers rendered the French name in English as "Yellow Stone". Although it is commonly believed that the river was named for the yellow rocks seen in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Native American name source is unclear.[14]
The human history of the park begins at least 11,000 years ago when Native Americans began to hunt and fish in the region. During the construction of the post office in Gardiner, Montana, in the 1950s, an obsidian projectile point of Clovis origin was found that dated from approximately 11,000 years ago.[15] These Paleo-Indians, of the Clovis culture, used the significant amounts of obsidian found in the park to make cutting tools and weapons. Arrowheads made of Yellowstone obsidian have been found as far away as the Mississippi Valley, indicating that a regular obsidian trade existed between local tribes and tribes farther east.[16] By the time white explorers first entered the region during the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805, they encountered the Nez Perce, Crow, and Shoshone tribes. While passing through present day Montana, the expedition members heard of the Yellowstone region to the south, but they did not investigate it.[16]

The cordillera is a system of mountain rages which reaches from the Artic Circle to the southern.
The Rocky Mountain of Canada and the Unites States is the Sierra Madre of mexico
The Rockies themselves are made up of more than 60 mountains ranges and extend approximately
3,000 miles
The Rocky Mountains Flora:
When someone climbs the Rockies they can see many different climate zones. A person could see the same climate zones in a trip from the Great Plains to the Arctic Ocean. The flora in the Rockies has flowers, pines and willows. Snow and ice covers the ground almost all year long.
The Great Divide
The Rockies are part of the divide of North America. The divide is so big that it`s called the Great Divide. Some rivers in the Colorado Rockies are the Colorado River, the Arkansas River and the Rio Grande.
The Colorado River flows through the Grand Canyon.
Some rivers in the Northern Rockies are the Columbia River, the Mackenzie River and the Peace River Of Canada.
The Columbia River is the largest river flowing into the Pacific Ocean from North America.

The Appalachian Mountains is the most prominent landform in Eastern North America ia a system of low mountains extend for nearly 2,000 miles from Canada to Northern Alabama.
The Appalachian Mountains, often called the Appalachians, are a system of mountains in eastern North America. The Appalachians first formed roughly 480 million years ago during the Ordovician Period. It once reached elevations similar to those of the Alps and the Rocky Mountains before naturally occurring erosion. The Appalachian chain is a barrier to east-west travel, as it forms a series of alternating ridgelines and valleys oriented in opposition to most roads running east or west.

Definitions vary on the precise boundaries of the Appalachians. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) defines the Appalachian Highlands physiographic division as consisting of thirteen provinces: the Atlantic Coast Uplands, Eastern Newfoundland Atlantic, Maritime Acadian Highlands, Maritime Plain, Notre Dame and Mégantic Mountains, Western Newfoundland Mountains, Piedmont, Blue Ridge, Valley and Ridge, Saint Lawrence Valley, Appalachian Plateaus, New England province, and the Adirondack provinces. A common variant definition does not include the Adirondack Mountains, which geologically belong to the Grenville Orogeny and have a different geological history from the rest of the Appalachians.
Today we are going to talk about the Mammoth Cave:
The Mammoth Cave is the largest known underground cave system in the World.
The first person to ever enter the cave probably visited more than 4,000 years ago, but it wasn’t until 2,000 years ago that Native Americans of the Early Woodland Period started using the cave for mining. These primitive miners searched the complex, dark systems for precious minerals. Traces of their past can be evaluated based on the objects they left behind: slippers, torches, mussel shells.
In the 18th century, European settlers discovered the cave. They found the cave was abundant with calcium nitrate, which could be used to make black gunpowder — a precious commodity during the War of 1812. The cave’s worth increased dramatically and the settlers enlisted slaves to extract the substance. After the war, in 1816, interest in the cave as spectacle peaked, and there have been tours ever since. Since then, the cave has been used as a hospital, a choir space and a church, among other things. It was established as Mammoth Cave National Park in 1945.
