The Greenland ice cap is an interesting part of the water cycle. The ice cap became so large over time (about 600,000 cubic miles (mi 3) or 2.5 million cubic kilometers (km 3)) because more snow fell than melted. Over the millennia, as the snow got deeper, it compressed and became ice.
Introduction to Pullman, Washington. The city of Pullman is located in Whitman County in the southeastern part of the state of Washington. Situated only six miles west of the Idaho border, Pullman is part of the wheat-producing agricultural area known as the Palouse region.
Incorporated in 1886, Pullman was originally named Three Forks, in reference to the convergence of three small nearby rivers (Dry Fork, Missouri Flat Creek, and the South Fork of the Palouse River). The city later changed its name to honor noted industrialist George Pullman, inventor of the Pullman railroad car.
