When the Illinois and Michigan Canal opened in 1848, the landmass at Wolf Point was decreased by dredging to accommodate a turning basin for ships.
In the summer, large landmasses in the subtropics tend to be centres of relative low pressure as a result of strong solar heating.
In summer the Asian landmass is much warmer than the sea; in winter it is much colder, particularly in the Plateau of Tibet.
The rise of the presidency began with the Louisiana Purchase, which in 1803 doubled the landmass of the United States.
Located in the middle of the Eurasian landmass 3,000km east of Moscow, with a climate that ranges from 30C mosquito-ridden summers to -40C snow-drenched winters, this isn't the most obvious place for a tech startup hub.
This situation reverses itself in summer, when the landmass heats up; low pressure develops over the Asian interior, and air moves inward from the northwest in the European section, from the north in Siberia, and from the southeast along the Pacific.

Using electric resistivity measurements, Uehara et al. (2007) showed that a high-resistivity landmass of 3 100 Ω m exists to a depth of 30 m beneath the beach, and a low resistivity (less than 2 Ω m) prevails below the bottom of the high-resistivity landmass and adjacent sea bottom.
