The American alligator, Louisiana’s state reptile’s, feet squish as it strides through the mud on the banks of the Mississippi River. Louisiana contains a cornucopia of crops and other natural resources that combine to construct the superior scenery, culture, and economy of this stunning area. Louisiana’s prime industry, petroleum products, relies on the overflowing non-renewable oil reserves found in the Pelican State. Louisiana leads the nation in known natural gas and petroleum reserves. Amazingly, petroleum can be found in all of Louisiana’s 64 parishes. Alternatively, the Tuscaloosa Trend, an underground region that runs beneath the southern region of the state, harbors copious amounts of natural gas. Petroleum and oil are used to create plastic and the gasoline that travelers use in order to fuel their cars. Louisiana factories produce over 64 billion liters of gasoline a year. The roaring Mississippi River moves so many renewable natural resources to Louisiana that numerous experts consider it a natural resource in itself. All of the fish swimming in the in the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico, like Red Drum, Spanish Mackerel, and Cobia, present Louisiana with a profitable fishing industry. Astoundingly, 26% of the seafood in the United States is caught in Louisiana. The fierce, commanding river deposits fertile soil throughout the state. Hydroelectricity, electricity created from running water, is another valuable aspect that the Mississippi provides. The abundant soil deposited by the Mississippi stimulates the production of exceedingly valuable and renewable crops. Louisiana also goes by the name of “The Sugar State” because of the heaps of sugarcane, the plant used to create sugar, produced there. Louisiana’s principal cash crop is soybean. From rice and cotton, to corn and strawberries, ending with pecans and sweet potatoes, agricultural industry has a huge impact on the Louisiana economy. Louisiana retains a variety of non-renewable minerals that can be located across the state. Louisiana maintains more salt than anywhere else in the country. Sulfur, a mineral used to create matches, stands as another mineral that Louisiana mines more compared to anyplace else nationwide because over 60,000 tons are mined from Louisiana yearly. Coal, a vital mineral utilized to formulate electricity, is mined in the northwest of the state, in places like the Red River Mine. Because of all the state’s forests, renewable trees are abundant in Louisiana. Astonishingly, forests cover over 50% of the land. Paper mills, which produce paper such as the one you are currently reading, dotted all over the land are due to the countless forests. From pine in the north, to oak in the east, and cypress in the south, the various trees of Louisiana contribute to its horde of natural resources. The alligator wades into the Mississippi and catches a White Perch, Louisiana’s state fish, to devour. The fish is a natural resource for both humans and alligators alike.
