geographical environment

During the last ice age, about 65,438+0-64,000 years ago, the "Wisconsin Glacier" swept across New England from northwest to southeast like a giant roller, resulting in a peculiar ice erosion landform in the state, with ice valleys, ice buckets and ice caves everywhere. There are more than 0/300 lakes and ponds in Quanzhou/KLOC, most of which are moraine lakes and glacial lakes. The water surface of the lake accounts for 3% of the total area of the state, and the whole territory is mountainous, with 8 peaks over 1600 meters, 6 mountains over 200 meters, and hills over 800 meters 157.

The town of Durham was the center of the independent revolutionary movement at that time. Patriots led by john sullivan kept guns and ammunition seized from British troops in the town council. Now there is a monument on the site to commemorate what happened at that time. There are many historical sites in Portmouth Harbor Trail to witness this history. Exeter, a small town in this area, now has the American Independent Museum.

In the last century, the traditional industries such as textiles, shoes, leather and small machinery in New Hampshire declined sharply because of the competition of large enterprises. However, because New Hampshire has no income tax, it has attracted a large number of enterprises to move to the state, especially many enterprises from neighboring Massachusetts, such as computer industry, light industry, special gardening, service industry and so on. But it is precisely because there is no income tax that the property tax in this state has become higher in the country.

The port is close to Boston Highway 128, with convenient transportation and prosperous industry. This state is one of the most industrialized states in the United States.

Since the 1960s, traditional industries such as shoemaking, carpentry, clothing, textiles, etc. Both have declined, while the aerospace industry has developed rapidly. Public utilities, insurance, banking, medicine and health, commercial services, wholesale and retail industries have also developed greatly. The only industrial center north of Baishan is Berlin, with large paper mills and pulp mills. Quarries are all over the state, and the granite in Baishan is a famous specialty, so the state is also called "Granite State". Agriculture takes eggs, dairy products and vegetables as its main sources of income. Tourism has developed into one of the major economic sectors. It is a summer resort and an ideal place for skiing in winter, and tourists come in an endless stream all year round. The annual tourism income is almost $654.38 +0.5 billion.
