Geologists and other Earth scientists agree in general that the present Gulf of Mexico basin originated in Late Triassic time as the result of rifting within Pangea the rifting was associated with zones of weakness within Pangea including sutures where the Laurentia South American and African plates collided to create it First there was a Late Triassic-Early Jurassic phase of rifting during which rift valleys formed and filled with continental red beds Second as rifting progressed through Early and Middle Jurassic time continental crust was stretched and thinned This thinning created a broad zone of transitional crust which displays modest and uneven thinning with block faulting and a broad zone of uniformly thinned transitional crust which is half the typical 40 kilometer thickness of normal continental crust it was at this time that rifting first created a connection to the Pacific Ocean across central Mexico and later eastward to the Atlantic Ocean This flooded the opening basin to create the Gulf of Mexico as an enclosed marginal sea While the Gulf of Mexico was a restricted basin the subsiding transitional crust was blanketed by the widespread deposition of Louann Salt and associated anhydrite evaporites During the Late Jurassic continued rifting widened the Gulf of Mexico and progressed to the point that sea-floor spreading and formation of oceanic crust occurred at this point sufficient circulation with the Atlantic Ocean was established that the deposition of Louann Salt ceased. Seafloor spreading stopped at the end of Jurassic time about 145-150 million years ago, Tropical Storm Erin made landfall in August 2007 with heavy rainfall a total of 9 inches (230 mm) of rain fell elsewhere than George Bush Intercontinental Airport on August 16 and many roads and neighborhoods were flooded Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County Texas halted its light rail and bus services in view of the effects Four deaths in the city were attributed to the storm the Houston Fire Department reported 72 rescue operations. 4.3 Tennis On Opening Day April 9 1965 a sold-out crowd of 47,879 watched an exhibition game between the Houston Astros and the New York Yankees President Lyndon B Johnson and his wife Lady Bird were in attendance as well as Texas Governor John Connally and Houston Mayor Louie Welch Governor Connally tossed out the first ball for the first game ever played indoors Dick "Turk" Farrell of the Astros threw the first pitch Mickey Mantle had both the first hit (a single) and the first home run in the Astrodome the Astros beat the Yankees that night 2-1. . Trade 6.5 Advances in technology and warfare After the American Revolution many tribes were being consistently moved to migrate further west and give up their lands to American citizens This may have been due to the unusual circumstance that the United States still considered many of these tribes as foreign nations but outwardly claimed the land they stood on That being said the main push was for new rich farmland as the plantation-style farming on the east coast soon damaged the native soil Many tribes in the early 19th century became fed up with these practices choosing to migrate to Texas which was still a part of New Spain at the time These tribes include the Mingo Seneca the Lenape the Kickapoo and the Muscogee They were initially welcomed by the locals ignored by the Spanish and played a major role in the Texas Revolution the Native Americans also had a heavy influence in early cowboy culture in terms of dress cuisine & the introduction of the Lasso. However after Texas became part of the United States most of the native people of Texas who had not integrated into White-styled culture were pushed into Indian Territory or moved further west.
