Currents of magma within our planet move the plates that form the continental crust in a constant process that builds mountains and creates valleys. These valleys may eventually become lakes, seas, and oceans. On the surface, the greatest factor affecting Earth is sunlight. Sun provides energy for living organisms, and it drives our planet's weather and climate by creating temperature gradients in the atmosphere and oceans.
An American Standard -- Cascade hops are an all-American hop primarily whose primary use can be seen in the American Pale Ale style. They are primarily used as an aroma hop in the last half of the boil.
Hops are flower clusters (seed cones or strobiles), of a hop species, Humulus lupulus. Hops are best known as stability agent and as bitter flavoring in beer. While hops are also used as flavorings in other beverages and foods such as gelatin, candies and cakes.
