Tarrabool Lake is a seasonal lake in Australia’s Northern Territory. While the lake’s water level fluctuates from year to year, its swampy wetlands and the surrounding tropical forested areas supports an essential habitat for small mammals, reptiles, and a wide variety of bird species.

Ocean currents, and the sediments they transport, have constantly shifted the Cape Cod barrier islands over time. Some of the abrupt changes, however, can be linked directly to a storm.

The Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area, also known as the Valley of the Sun, is comprised of more than 14,600 square miles and is considered the largest metropolitan area in the southwestern United States. The desert climate and abundant sunshine of the area are main factors in population growth and urban sprawl.
